Pirates (Jones) vs Cubs (Taillon): 9/2/24, 6:40pm

[Cubs420psd]

JFC man come on.

[Andy]

This inning is the return of the May Cubs

[JHBulls]

Another 15-20 pitches really wouldn’t have killed Taillon. So horsefeathers weird to take a cruising veteran out after 7 innings. 

[PeanutPunch33]

brutal inning

[mfcubs22]

If they don’t come back, this is gonna be a tough loss. Cruising all game, bring in Lopez, who has allowed 2 runs in 24 innings, and he gives up 4. 

[chibears55]

Gotta answer with at least 1 here with top of order up.

Good teams shake it off and win the next one.

[JHBulls]

New tactic. Hit the baseball where De La Cruz is not. 

[JBears79]

Always love taking out the starter when hes pitching a great game due to "pitch counts"

[Cubbies1996]

He actually made good contact but Wisdom must have something on Counsell to keep getting ABs in crucial spots and consistently failing 

[Crusader]

horsefeathers. I thought P. Wis just tied it.

[s2obed]

Shoulda let Jamo pitch the 8th. I rarely see Counsell let these guys go 100+. Hate to break it to you Counsell but this isn’t the Milwaukee bullpen.

HR in 1/30 parks scores 3. HR in 12/30 parks is out #2. Baseball can sure be frustrating

Yeah let him at least get an out or two. He was rolling 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Did Chapman really just get away with 93 center-cut to Seiya...

[Derwood]

Chapman feels like the worst possible matchup for Bellinger

[Cubbies1996]

Cubs fans are the absolute worst with reactions to every single fly ball

Belli has been pretty cold lately. I think anyone is pretty much a bad matchup for him right now.

The pen has been the best pen in baseball for months

[Illiterate Scholar]

It was weak contact and a fly ball that PCA catches in literally every single stadium other than Wrigley. Taillon wasn't missing bats. It wasn't a bad move to put in Lopez. This is just getting baseballed at the worst time.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Explain to me why this scrap heap reliever is pitching the 9th.

Also thought this was a weird decision

Punting the game I guess? 

[Cubbies1996]

Really don’t understand Wisdom playing 1st. Below average defender

[LBiittner]

Hate to look back, but Busch would've probably made that play on the grounder past Wisdom. Glove would've been on the right hand.
