Cubs (Taillon) vs Pirates (Keller): 8/26/24, 5:40pm

Here’s that “strike out” by Busch that people here are using as evidence that the Cubs are pathetic

 

 

[mfcubs22]

7 hits, 2 walks, 7 SB in 4 innings. Nice.

the cubs are under .500 with a $220 mil payroll. “pathetic” seems about right.

Any competent team with 7 hits and 7 stolen bases through 4 innings would have more than 3 runs

how many baseball games would you say you've watched before

[mfcubs22]

I’ve seen this movie before. Cubs offense clobbers good starter, but doesn’t burst through and take advantage of scoring opportunities enough. Bullpen comes in and shuts the door for 5 straight innings.

horsefeathers sake Amaya is good.

[Cubbies1996]

Heyyy Amaya did it 

[Irrelevant Dude]

PCA is an absolute gamechanger.

[CubinNY]

Gotta love what we are seeing from Amaya and PCA. 

[JHBulls]

I agree with Boog. That’s a dumb rule. 

[BKHoo]

This umpire SSSSUUUUUXXXXXX. 

[Tim]

Hey - Ian Happ is a three win player again.

Also, live update:

• PCA - 1.7 fWAR
• Robert - 0.8 fWAR (still)

[chibears55]

Suzuki with a big 2 out knock to get Amaya home.

[Cubbies1996]

Man Grandal has had a rough night 

[chibears55]

8th stolen base, I want 10 😅

I'm starting to feel bad for him

That's just for PCA.  What about the rest of the lineup?

[chibears55]

Nico can pretty much put this one away with a big knock here

[LBiittner]

Boom

[Irrelevant Dude]

I like that version of Swanson.

[Derwood]

PFFFT a real team would have scored 20 that inning

[mfcubs22]

Our offense is much better when our 7/8/9 hitters hit well. 

[chibears55]

Damn, they didn't have anyone warming up with this guy gassing over 40 pitches this inning..

Swanson just tattooed that ball

Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities and PNC is one of my favorite parks. I feel bad for Pirate fans. They deserve better. At least the pitching is looking up. Best thing for them would be for the owner

to sell.
