Padres (Hart) vs Cubs (Brown): 4/6/25, 1:20pm

[Ding Dong Johnson]

What a way to lose this one.

[ToolDRT]

Yep, heartbreaker. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

You have to be kidding me

[Jason Ross]

Turner. Jeeze, dude.

[UMFan83]

I’m not watching the Cubs on Sundays anymore

[muntjack]

Why didn't Busch come in? 

[imb]

To be fair to Turner bending over that far post-40 is not easy

 

whixh is why he shouldn’t be in the field but I digress 

[abuck1220]

super genius counsell really horsefeathered this game up. why leave turner in once you’ve brought Busch into the game. 

[chopsx9]

Is there a reason Bush wouldn't have moved to 1B after pinch hitting?

[PeanutPunch33]

horsefeathers Turner should be in a retirement home instead of playing baseball let alone 1st base 

[Derwood]

I'm completely flummoxed by Turner stilling being in this game

Probably wanted Turner to hit in the ninth as opposed to Workman

[Irrelevant Dude]

I get that Turner is likely batting in the 9th, but why wouldn't you leave Busch in at 1B, then put Workman in Turner's spot?

David Ross is speaking to counsell like the green goblin mask

Not sure how much string you give Presley to get it together at this point. Was there a single swinging strike in that entire inning

Turner's spot in the order is due up 3rd and you still need to score, so he found it preferable to guaranteeing Workman a high leverage PA.  That can be mitigated slightly if you pinch run Workman for Kelly and then put Amaya in for Turner, but still probably an offensive downgrade.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Turner better do something in the 9th to make up for that horsefeathers

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wait, did they really give Nico the error on that throw?

[CubinNY]

Seiya is going to tie it

[UMFan83]

So nice of this ump to expand the zone randomly in the late innings.

He has 2 strikeouts in his 6 appearances. He is not good.

Or take a ball for strike one and a strike for strike 3

[Jason Ross]

Pressely has done this to himself, but I really don't blame that inning on him.

- Umpire missed the Diaz PA. Pressly threw three strikes, but got charged with a walk

- Induced two potential double plays, a second which ended with Turner not making a play on a somewhat poor Hoerner throw. 

He's earned little benefit of the doubt, but that inning really wasn't on him. IMB did bring up a good point in his lack of whiffs in that inning. - he had none.

[PeanutPunch33]

horsefeathers ridiculous way to lose 

[SpongeWorthy]

how do we get one of these closers that pounds the zone in the high 90s
