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

[Jason Ross]

Did Brujan not recognize it was Turner? I'm not sure he'd have gotten him anyways but that pat to the glove may have been the difference.

[We Got The Whole 9]

horsefeathers 🤡 

[UMFan83]

Weren’t gonna win 63% of our games all year especially playing nothing but good teams but still this was very winnable

Not charging it was the difference

[s2obed]

Come on Brujan. Gotta know who’s running dude. Boneheaded play. Would’ve been close either way but damn.

I'm trying to take it to be more like 2016 than 2023 that it feels like an abnormally large amount of our losses this year have been really really stupid

[Irrelevant Dude]

This team has to go get a third baseman, somehow.  Expecting Shaw to come back up soon and suddenly have figured everything out is completely unrealistic.  There are simply no good options on the roster.

[Jason Ross]

Thielbar's starting to figure it out, at least.

[Andy]

It also feels like our crappy relievers do an abnormally good job at coming in and getting outs after someone else has already given up key runs

[JHBulls]

Thielbar comes in and throws strikes.

Might not have gotten him because he backed up on the ball. He had to grab the short hop to get him, or even just step in third if he came in in the ball. WTF!!!!

how the horsefeathers does a team with the cubs resources roll out a 3b group of shaw/workman/brujan/turner/berti. 

[chibears55]

Hate losing games like this...

[Jason Ross]

Romano has been horrendous this year. So of course he'll cruise.

[muntjack]

There is nothing wrong with Shaw. He is a premium prospect who needs a bit of a runway.  This team can afford to give him that.

because they made an unserious offer to Bregman

[Cubs206]

Blowpen mostly holds it til Merryundertheweather blows it. But this is on the offense sleeping the entire game. 

[Andy]

"Dansby is due" says Pat. Well, he's been due for the better part of 2 years

[Derwood]

Dansby still up there guessing

Because they put all their eggs in the basket on Shaw and didn't even consider a legit 3Bmen, plus they added Turner instead of a guy who can actually be a decent just in case Shaw struggles.

A well- timed HR would be nice.

At least he didn't sign it.  Now they still have the money to make an unserious offer to Tucker.

Agreed. Let him develop up here. Hit him 9 and let him continue to get the experience against MLB pitching. 

[Cubs206]

Why not PH for Mr Mendoza line. What a joke.
