Phillies (Nola) vs Cubs (Taillon): 4/27/25, 6:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

The Cubs get another Sunday Night Baseball game, this time against the Phillies. And, good news on that front: Aaron Nola is continuing his insane and bizarre even year-odd year oscillation between being a Cy Young contender and being bad. Let's hope he doesn't turn around his 2025 season tonight.

 

[Brandon Glick]

Nola's career stats. It's like the 2010-2016 Giants. Just an unexplainable phenomenon.

Tom Cosgrove has been promoted to Chicago. No corresponding move announced yet.

Would have to think it’s Roberts going down . I think it makes sense . Was thinking about this move after yesterday ‘s game .

I would not do this, but you do kind of wonder about Brown getting sent down.  Wicks pitched yesterday so he could slide in seemlessly.  And the Brewers and Giants have been ass against lefties this year (and that doesn't seem super fluke given their personnel).

This would be my guess as well. But when Miller and Brasier come back, who goes down? Or do they have to release guys? 

[CubinNY]

I like the Cubs' chances tonight. 

[Bertz]

it is indeed Roberts

Taillon is not very good against the Phillies. Happ 0-15 against Nola. Not so sure I like their chances. Pretty much a 50/50 game as far as I can tell.

Ideally Taillon will be able to keep it close, I like the Cubs chances to get to the Phillies' bullpen.

Nice work, Jamo. 

[JHBulls]

Long, long, loooonnnnnngggggg double. I thought it was out.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Damn that ball was so far below the zone too. His swing is so geared for lift.

[Illiterate Scholar]

Insane he hit a pitch in that location at 103 mph, 25 degrees. Only the wind kept that in. 

[Hot Sauce]

Miggy!

[Wilson A2000]

PCA is really good at these in-game interviews

[Wilson A2000]

Tucker didn’t really hustle after that ball in the corner by Stott which he then stretched into a triple

[We Got The Whole 9]

You would never know that Nola is struggling this year 

[Hot Sauce]

For a little bit there I thought Dansby might be turning the corner at the plate.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Oh Dansby.

I appreciate your defense, but you should be hitting 8th where you belong.

[PackLandVA]

Dansby has K'd in 20 of his last 40 ABs

[Hot Sauce]

Good job by Jamo to settle in. 

[chibears55]

Swanson could use a couple days off, maybe just sit him til Thursday game against Pirates, hopefully that'll help him have a good weekend in Milwaukee.  🤷‍♂️

[Irrelevant Dude]

So what is the Dansby injury we're going to find out about months later to justify his poor hitting performance?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Corners have been a challenge for the Cubs organization?  Really? 

Third base, yes.  But the Cubs have had plenty of long term very good first basemen.
