Dodgers (May) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 4/22/25, 6:40pm

[JHBulls]

Crappy looking base hit produces the fourth run. How you want a fourth run in an inning to be scored. 

[Derwood]

BABIP gods are smiling upon us

[WhyCantWeWin]

Literally anyone would be an upgrade at 3B at this point. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Wow, what an inning

[DYMNO]

Pour it on, boys! (With the conditions, I’m sure we’re gonna need it.)

At the time he signed, I felt as though Shota was a mere consolation prize, but he has quickly become one of my favorite Cubs. I really hope we don’t play poor when his contract expires, and I really hope he keeps producing at a rate that’ll justify an expensive contract. 

Same, I thought he would be just a dependable starting pitcher but he is a borderline ace.  Hope he is a Cub for his entire career

Workman has more errors than he has hits vs non-position players. 

[JHBulls]

At least Gage made the middle infielder work, man.

Cubs are BABIP’ing

[chibears55]

With the way everyone else is hitting now, Cubs just need a third baseman that can field until either Shaw shows he can adjust or they find an everyday guy.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Gonna need a lot of runs today

Workman is garbage, that's 2 costly errors he's made out there in a week and he surely doesn't contribute anything on offense.  They can find someone else to give high 5s and slap butts in the dugout.  Send this bum back to AAA or the YMCA league 

3 costly errors . One againts the Padres , one againts the Dbacks and that one .  He looks overwhelmed tbh and he is supposed to be a great defender .

[SpongeWorthy]

feels like a good framer could be stealing some of the calls for shota 

[Dfan25]

Cubs will need 10+ tonight . I think Shota is going to have a rough one with these conditions .

I hope they bring Shaw back and just roll with it, TBH.  Rather see a young kid develop instead of these journeymen in Berti/Workman.  At least Shaw was playing decent defense

Yep, Shaw was taking some good ABs even if they results weren't there. And i thought he played pretty good D too

[JHBulls]

That Dodgers pitcher IL is nuts. 70+% of that list would be an upgrade at the Cubs.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Man Busch should have been looking LCF. He gave him 2 perfect pitches for it. 

 

Seiya's chase though, holy horsefeathers.

[UMFan83]

Gonna remind myself the Cubs scored 2 runs on ridiculous bloops last inning before I complain about not scoring a run there

[chibears55]

Can't waste opportunities against the Dodgers, gotta get those runs home

[Derwood]

PCA is hot hot hot

Has Boog been doing basketball games lately or is he just off?
