Are they gonna have to pull Brown at 75 pitches because he’s had such a long break between pitching the last 2 innings?

With a zillion run lead there are probably worse things than saving an inning on Brown's arm for later in the season, if that's what they choose.

To be fair I think it was only 11-3 when I said that. Still in the bullpen danger zone

[Illiterate Scholar]

Haha, PCA is great. That shouldn't even be a close play in that situation 

[UMFan83]

I just figured out why I hate that Shaw wears number 6. Because it reminds me of Bryan LaHair and Micah Hoffpauir

[JHBulls]

JD, after giving up 10 runs in the final 3 innings of yesterdays game, there really is no rule to challenging… 

[UMFan83]

There are gonna be stretches this year when it will feel like it’s impossible for the Cubs to do anything on offense. When that happens we have to remember games like today where every time you look up another run scores

[We Got The Whole 9]

Watch Carson Kelly of all people end the cycle drought 

[Derwood]

The Carson Kelly game

[UMFan83]

When the Cubs win 16-15 we’re gonna be happy they made that challenge and it was overturned. 

[BigbadB]

187 pitches through 6. Sacramento is gonna need to call up some pitchers to close out this series. 

[BigbadB]

I could swear Suzuki’s contact rate was supposed to be spectacular. He’s K’ing at an alarming rate.

Easy fix. Just think about Ramón Martínez.

Delayed but the deed is done!

Carson Kelly gets the triple for the cycle. So cool.

He doesn't want to DH it in his head, i bet he gets traded

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Been waiting on Carson Kelly since 1993

[chibears55]

No longer gonna hear Mark Grace and Cycle together again...

😅

[ToolDRT]

Well, that was cool! Those of us that got to stay up to watch this game saw the first cycle in almost 32 years! 

[UMFan83]

Damn I turned it off to go to bed. Checked the score one more time and found out I missed the cycle. Wow what a game

Joey Estes doesn't strike people out and is an extreme flyball pitcher who gives up lots of HR.  Could be a fun game to watch as a Cubs fan.

Should have bet money!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I’m just going to start following whichever team Kyle Tucker plays for next year and beyond.

[JHBulls]

Lol, this inning might never finish if that’s what is being thrown.
