A lead off single and they can't even get him to 2B. 

If PCA was batting 2nd, he would've bunted him there 🤷‍♂️😏😏😏😅

Jose Abreu was released by the Astros and is still owed 30 mil. Not sure at his age why they even signed him for that much.

There were a few here who were championing a 2 year deal for Abreu. Abreu turned into a mancini hitter overnight. Thank sweet jeebus jed didn't go 3 on jose. At least there's that.

If he would’ve signed with the Cubs you know damn well they would’ve kept playing him until that contract ended.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yikes.

[JHBulls]

Well, horsefeathers. 

[Tryptamine]

Of course, why not.

[Andy]

And Wicks is injured.

Just forfeit the damn season and hope people are healthy in 2025, honestly

[WhyCantWeWin]

Pitcher injuries are out of control!!!!

[Tryptamine]

Well, at least we don't have to worry about losing a close one now.

He was holding his lower back/side but it could actually be a groin/hamstring injury, hard to say. He didn't really show what exactly was hurting.

[JHBulls]

We’ve gone from needing about 3-4 runs to win today to needing 9 runs to win in the blink of an eye. 😂

I believe the cardinals are one of the worst offenses in the league, so even Kyle should be able to hold his own here 

[Tryptamine]

How does Gibson keeping getting these edges when he has shown no ability to locate in the zone?

[Tryptamine]

Well that was about as bad an at bat as possible from Dansby.

[abuck1220]

my goodness swanson.

Bro wants to get out of the heat as quick as possible and head home

[chibears55]

Problem not going to be Hendricks today, even if he gives up 2-3 runs, it going to be the bats not scoring and or the bullpen not holding. 

[chibears55]

No Brown,  No Wicks so Hendricks back in the rotation 😅

Another lead off single that never made it to 2B. 

[abuck1220]

two 2-0 pitches incorrectly called strikes for gibson so far.

[Tryptamine]

This offense, is really really good.

When Jed gave Swanson the big contract, I'm sure he envisioned him as the light-hitting #8 hitter in a bad lineup.
