Giants (Verlander) vs Cubs (Rea): 5/6/25, 6:40pm

[Brandon Glick]

Crazy times when you'd rather have Colin Rea on the mound than Justin Verlander...

[Derwood]

Today I Learned that Verlander is on the Giants

[squally1313]

Verlander first pitched in Wrigley in 2006, if you want to feel really old. 

[BigSlick]

Legit didn’t know Verlander was still pitching

And Kerry Wood had 20Ks vs the Astros 27 years ago today.

Neither Verlander or Ray look fully cooked, but they're both well above room temperature.  We *should* be able to take one of these two and secure another series win.  Their lineup is a lot scarier against righties than lefties though, so they probably won't roll over these next two nights like they did yesterday.

Sounds like Boog’s back tonight

[Derwood]

I hope Cohen is out of options

[CubinNY]

Dansby is one of the streakiest hitters this side of Alphonso Soriano. Let’s hope he keeps it going.

[BKHoo]

Uh oh Verlander has nasty stuff today. 
 

Are pitchers allowed to pitch in front of the rubber? 

[soccer10k]

Why even make that throw to first there? Just cost us another run.

[CUBDOM4life]

Our 3rd base situation really sucks right now 

[muntjack]

Berti is a defensive upgrade on who,  exactly?  Give me Shaw.

I can’t tell. Boog and Cohen sound the same.

 

[BKHoo]

So tired of our third baseman absolutely sucking. 

[DrCub]

Father time owning us so far……

Yeah its really bad. None of the options they have are acceptable short term options. Just call Shaw back up at this point

[DrCub]

Oh look Colin Rea is Colin Rea again.  That’s quite exciting.

Just one start, though obviously given his track record he is probably regressing to his career norms.

Let’s be honest; we were all waiting for the other shoe to drop.
