Pirates (Falter) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 5/18/24, 1:20pm

[DYMNO]

This offense is offensive to my baseball sensibilities. Gross.

[LBiittner]

Plus a great way for both teams and mlb to make $ on merchandising : "please people buy our tribute caps, on sale now"

[spaincubsfan]

Whoa, our "Murderer's Row" ain't impressing anyone yet again.

[profisme]

Dandy Little Ratface with a great play to take away a hit.

[BKHoo]

The bottom third is not competitive at the plate right now.

They're killing me

[profisme]

That was Morel's play.  Why the heck did he stop?!

[chibears55]

Counsell has to be throwing up when he writes out his lineup..

.219, .215, .214, .185, .143

5 of the bottom 6 hitters

The pressure on these SP to not give up runs is beyond crazy

[chibears55]

Today is Armed Forces day, this is why they have those caps for the weekend. 

Separate from Memorial weekend 

[JHBulls]

Patrick Wisdom, you sir are a low IQ baseball player. How on earth did he think he could make 2nd base?

[WhyCantWeWin]

Good news is that Shota might throw 9 shutout. Bad news is that CY Falter might do the same

[CubinNY]

They need a kangaroo court for bad base running. 

[Derwood]

More stellar baserunning

[DYMNO]

That was unwise, Mr. Wisdom.

[CubinNY]

Boring and bad baseball 

[UMFan83]

This team is boring af

[profisme]

Watching this team try to hit is horsefeathering painful.  Cut Madrigal, trade Happ for a bag of used baseballs, call up Brennan Davis who can actually make hard contact right now and Luis Vazquez.

[JHBulls]

Shota Imanaga with a few “I made a huge mistake” type starts already this year. 

[UMFan83]

54 pitches though 5 lmao. Good stuff Shota

Shame he is getting the Jacob DeGrom treatment from his offense.

[profisme]

Wow.  This ump is actually blind.

[Derwood]

Five full innings in under an hour

[UMFan83]

Maybe the Ricketts will decide to spend more when he sees how much beer sales have dropped by having an offense that quickly gets out every inning. 
 

in reality he’ll balance that by downgrading our pitching to try to get more 11-9 type games

[BKHoo]

Their pitcher 49 pitches.  

[gflore34]

Two balls hit with eV of 100+ plus that inning with nothing to show.
