Twins (Festa) vs Cubs (Hendricks): 8/5/24, 7:05pm

Just a Goofy observation: carlos Santana wears his pants like a nfl wide receiver. It might look good on a small guy but on a guy whose somewhat beefy looks odd

Scratch that. Carlos can effin hit

[CubinNY]

This pitcher looks like Walter White’s son if he was cured of CP.. 

[Cubbies1996]

Well this certainly feels like the typical Hendricks meltdown inning

[JHBulls]

Let’s not screw it all up Kyle. 

[DYMNO]

WTAF was that?!

 

[JHBulls]

What a weird arse play. WTF was that? 😂 

[UMFan83]

What the horsefeathers is PCA doing out there?  Cockily tries to throw out a runner at the plate from deepish CF and then loses a ball in the…lights I guess. Luckily they made a great throw to prevent a run from scoring but what the hell. Never seen so many botched plays like that as the 2024 Cubs

[Cubbies1996]

This just has the feel of a night they get no-hit through 5 and end up with 2/3 hits on the night 

[JHBulls]

And how does the runner from 1st not score after all of that? He should have been at 3rd base by the time the PCA retrieved the baseball. Just casually jogging to 2nd lol.

Doing this after 2 innings is pretty ridicuous

If it were any other team I would agree with you but it’s the 2024 Chicago Cubs and everyone’s looked lost up until Swanson

Yeah i get that lefties hit Festa better but you dont sit Suzuki for Tauchman, who i think is like top 20 in baseball in wRC+

He hurting,  but should be in lineup tomorrow 

[Cubbies1996]

Getting carved up by a guy with a 6+ ERA lol

[Soul]

Big surprise.  Crappy SP dominates us.

[BKHoo]

This pitcher is supposed to be terrible. WTH? 

[Cubbies1996]

Letting Hendricks pitch past the 4th inning should be a fireable offense at this point 😂

[Tryptamine]

Haven't been watching, but man was it predictable that they're getting shut down by random struggling prospect. It's like they can sense hope and every time I start to have some, they make it their mission to crush it.

[Tryptamine]

Carry the team PCA

[We Got The Whole 9]

Damn so close to a triple

[squally1313]

This ump is flipping a coin apparently 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Can we stop with the expectant walk horsefeathers please

I forgot he had tweaked his arm or shoulder on that sliding play in between nico

[Tryptamine]

On the positive side of things, PCA almost up to a .600 OPS now

I'm sure Happ is eventually going to go on one of his 2 week heaters, but the extended periods where he is one of the worst hitters in baseball are really annoying.
