Cubs (Taillon) vs Mets (Holmes): 5/9/25, 6:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

The best of the East and Central clash tonight.

[UMFan83]

Already losing 

[JHBulls]

Ryan Sweeney sounds instantly less annoying that Sut. 

[Derwood]

Fun start

[DrCub]

Yay we suck again!!

[JHBulls]

Even PCA looked shocked… 😞

[chibears55]

They can't steal bases anymore, fun offense is over ☹️

[Derwood]

This does not feel like a fair pitching matchup

[Andy]

Oh so we're getting this Taillon tonight

[UMFan83]

Are we doing the May swoon for the 3rd year in a row?

[Dfan25]

I don’t think this weekend will be good at all . Hopefully they can avoid the sweep . Seems like a lot of hitters are going bad at the same time . 

[chibears55]

Series is off to a bad start, can't afford to use up the pen tonight with Horton going tomorrow and on a pitch count most likely.

I’m not too worried about pen use. Right now they have an extra guy in the pen. If Taillion gets rocked early they can always use the guy they are going to send out tomorrow when they activate Horton. And Taillon still may very well go 6. It might become an issue🤷. But I think your panic is way to early.

Way it's looking now it'd be a horsefeathers miracle if they get a hit, let alone a run.  As been said team wise month long hitting slump in queue.

[Derwood]

That's not helpful, Dansby

[Derwood]

The ump's this week...oof

In his defense, MLB.com's baseball savant had both the pitch to Nicky Lopez and Ian Happ as strikes. Particularly north/south, Marquee's on-air k-zone tends to be smaller than Savants. With that said, I dont believe Savant takes into account height into their live-zone. Whether Marquee does or doesn't, Im unsure. 

[gflore34]

Yeah, this game is way, way over just a matter of how much they lose by, be real nice if they could avoid a sweep this weekend.

[CubinNY]

Yikes! I just got home. When Jamo is off he’s off

[JHBulls]

At least Dansby Swanson’s wedding photo looked nice. 

[Derwood]

Apparently Dansby's wife being pregnant has made him forget how to play baseball

[Clem Fandango]

That's our Gold Glover!

[DYMNO]

I’m not having fun. 

[Dfan25]

Welp , I can probably safely skip the rest of this one . Hopefully the kid can hang in there tomorrow .
