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

[Derwood]

This ump expanding the zone in extras is a broken record I'm tired of hearing

[Rex Buckingham]

Bunt nico?

[squally1313]

I can't remember if Nico can bunt, and I generally hate it, but....maybe.

[UMFan83]

PCA gonna drop a walk off bunt?

[squally1313]

Fine, mostly the same thing. 

[squally1313]

This is always dangerous but if you're PCA you kinda have to assume the game plan here is to not throw any pitches in the strike zone.

I dont know what win loss totals are but to me, i think it favors the home team.

 

Actually visiting teams have a slight edge from what I can tell, which is a change from the 52% of the time home teams won with the old rules

[chibears55]

Don't be over anxious,  just get it to outfield 

[UMFan83]

Wrong guy up in that situation. Tough lefty

[BKHoo]

Awful PCA. Did he even throw one strike? 

[Rex Buckingham]

That AB was over after the first pitch

[UMFan83]

So the Cubs have had a runner on 3rd with 1 out in 2 straight innings with a chance to tie/win and struck out both times

[Chicago Al]

PCA really wanted that hero moment.

That’s kind of what I thought. I’m surprised he even took one of the pitches

[chibears55]

Need a wild pitch

He seems like he’s pressing a little bit since the HR barrage. Granted it’s only been a couple of games though 

[Hunter]

Dansby is not the hero.

 

[squally1313]

The PCA AB was 

• against a very tough LHP and we should temper our expectations in that situation regardless
• a microcosm of the voiced concerns about PCA being in the 'I'm god and can hit everything' part of the cycle, which usually is the first stage of the slump

[UMFan83]

Of course he smokes one right to Chapman

[WhyCantWeWin]

That’s annoying 

[Derwood]

He couldn't have hit it any harder

[chibears55]

Damn, as much as it was cool that Busch walked, it would of been better if he pulled the ball and got Suzuki to 3rd for Hoerner 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Can the bullpen hold one more?

[Dfan25]

Hodge should have gone back out

Ugggh,  no faith in Pressly keeping that runner from scoring
