Brewers (Rea) vs Cubs (Taillon): 7/23/24, 7:05pm

Pretty decent chance this is Taillon’s last start as a Cub.  He's slated to go again Monday night but if a move gets made for him I imagine it's before then.

[CubinNY]

This Cubs team is right up there with 2004 as one of the more frustrating I can remember. Many of the same issues too. 

[Outshined_One]

Think they'll get this one in?  Storms are in the forecast right around game time.

[Derwood]

Any updates on the weather?

That I saw, I was curious about projected start time

[mul21]

I’d bet they play 2 tomorrow based on what the radar projection is right now.

Looks like it might rain for the next 3 hours now. Might be a 1- 1.5 hour window to get in some of the game, but will likely be delayed again later. So they may just wash it out.

Right, I would imagine we'll start seeing some trades for SP come this weekend as teams would want to have that extra start from traded pitcher if their spot comes up before the deadline.

His defensive improvement this year has been spectacular.

[Tryptamine]

So is Amaya like, good now?

[Tryptamine]

and the fabled PCA walk

[JHBulls]

Brewers to get bases loaded and hit a HR at some stage tonight. Because it would just make so much sense.

[JHBulls]

How excited was that first base umpire? 😂 

[UMFan83]

Nothing like swinging at a 3-0 count and hitting a weak ass pop up. 
 

dont mind it with no one on and 2 outs in a scoreless game but horsefeathers result

[Tryptamine]

The guy with the 6.51 K/9 has struck out 6 through 4, because of course he has.

With the zone this ump is calling it's no wonder.

Seiya, as always, getting the worst of it.

[Tryptamine]

Make that 8 Ks through 5. Those 8 strikeouts match his season high from a game he pitched on June 28th, also against the Cubs.....

[We Got The Whole 9]

Contreras was so confident Rea hit the perfect out of zone location that he started to the dugout before the ump even made the call 

[UMFan83]

I know that was a ball and he absolutely should not have swung but ultimately another strikeout looking with RISP for Seiya.  Not his fault this time though.  

That said while he was hitting I was wondering if pitchers actually dont mind getting behind in the count when facing Seiya in run producing spots.  Get him thinking walk and he gets more passive and you might end up catching him looking.

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a play by Morel 

[Andy]

Holy hell the contact play might have actually gotten somebody else for once
