Diamondbacks (Burnes) vs Cubs (Rea): 4/18/25, 1:20pm

[Rex Buckingham]

I was watching on my phone when Happ hit the GS, and turned the TV on right after the Tucker triple. I shut it off again after the Gurriel HR. I turned the phone on to see Happ single and Tuck hit a bomb. 

 

Sorry for almost blowing it.

In the last 2 games the Cubs have played Arizona, they've allowed 18 runs in the 8th inning combined.

 

And split those games.

If the offense wants to keep up their 1,000 win pace maybe the bullpen won’t matter after all.

Great win, but im in panic mode about this bullpen

[CubinNY]

I’m listening on delay, Tucker just hit his HR. Pat is losing his voice. 

[Cubfanintheknow]

Wondering if the Cubs have ever given up 10 runs in an inning (in the 8th, no less) and still won.

Incredible!

[Dfan25]

They took advantage of their high leverage guys been out in a big way 

[Illiterate Scholar]

That was fun after a very dark turn.

King Tuck doing superstar things

Definitely a rollercoaster of emotions from the 7th and beyond. 

[Thusly Boned]

I was gonna turn it off, but I just (like during the 7th inning) signed a job offer after 7 months of being unemployed and was like, today is a good day, I'll let it ride

I bet it is extremely rare thing for any team.

17 runs scored by the 2 teams over the last 2 innings. horsefeathers bonkers.

I'm honestly trying to recall seeing something like that live, and I'm not sure I can.

Not as cool but in the last 2 games the Cubs have played Arizona they’ve scored 9 runs in the 8th inning combined. 
 

And split those games.

HOW DID WE GET THAT DONE!?

I think Pat said on the radio that the most combined runs in an inning is 19. We “only” combined for 16

[UMFan83]

As much as I rail on Jed, acquiring 2 of the 5 best hitters in baseball (Tucker and Kelly) over a 24 hour span is pretty impressive.

Actually I can't actually  count. It was 21.

[Cubs206]

What a wild win. A bonafide miracle after all the pitching drama and nonsense. Thank god for the offense.

Why stop there? Bottom 7th, top 8th, bottom 7th produced 21 runs.
