Phillies (Walker) vs Cubs (Rea): 4/25/25, 1:20pm

[Brandon Glick]

Does anyone else remember when Taijuan Walker was an up-and-coming arm for the Seattle Mariners? Where did the time go...

Rain delay

[Eeyore]

I think that it's supposed to rain for about three hours 

[CubinNY]

are they going to get this game in?

 

[gflore34]

Because of this delay there's some sort of baseball round table on MLB.  They're talking about the Dodgers and Phillies, fellow says he concerned about the age of Phillies line up but no mention of the Dodgers' age?  Dodgers lineup, in baseball age, is older than dirt.  Phillies may slow down because of age however, it's no problem for the Dodgers?

It's rainy, cold and miserable in Chicago today.  

[Banedon]

First pitch at 3:30.

[MTAggie95]

Thanks for the updates! Waiting to watch the game in sunny Missoula, MT. 

[CubinNY]

Pesky line up, that's why they are so good. 

[JHBulls]

That was a bit of a struggle for Rea against such a good lineup. But he got through it unscathed. 

[Eeyore]

Bullpen game 🫣

[JHBulls]

Just one of those days. The wind is wild out there. 

[PeanutPunch33]

lets go cubbies 

[JHBulls]

Looks safe.

[Outshined_One]

Engh.  Not a great day to mess around on the bases.

[JHBulls]

That was such a crappy swipe. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Only 4.5 years left on Swanson's deal

[abuck1220]

i know lineup construction doesn't matter or whatever but my goodness swanson is terrible.

[javy knows my name]

Dansby why are you terrible

[JHBulls]

Why on earth is Dansby hitting before Nico… and PCA and Kelly. He can hit before Berti, who really cares. 

So dumb.

Swanson is a black hole of suck right now. 

[Outshined_One]

Can we move Nico to SS, call up Shaw for 2B, and then put Dansby on an ice floe out to sea?

[UMFan83]

Damn, rough to not get at least a run there, especially with a 3 ball count with the bases loaded twice.

At least he threw 37 pitches to notch that scoreless 1st.

Too bad you can’t have a DH for the SS
