Nico has the most PA's without a HR in the majors this season (202)

Maybe he'll end that streak today.

Theyll likely want pitching prospects in return and if they're willing to trade him to a divisional team, plus he's under team control for 4 more years, it gonna cost.

Id trade Brown, Wicks, and ??

They laugh on the phone if the Cubs start with Brown and Wicks. I would guess the Pirates say they get to choose any 3 players (except PCA) in the system.

Cohen, JD, who gives a crap about Pete Rose or if he will get into the HOF. 

[chibears55]

Rea already at 50 pitches 🙄

Small sample size, but the Reds lineup absolutely rakes against Rea.  Quick math and they are 20 for 61 with 5 players hitting HRs. Take out TJ Friedl's 0 for 11, and the lineup is 20 for 50 against Rea.

Hopefully that was the "old Colin Rea", and we get the "New and Improved Colin Rea" today.

Even crazier is Rea is 5-0 lifetime against the Reds.

Justin Turner goes deep. He is coming around

[KCCub]

I didn’t think JT had 400+ still in the tank. Good to see

Rose loved the number so much he, allegedly, found a girlfriend of the same age when he was 30.

Shaw and Dansby hitting it to the wrong part of the field 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Cubs are teeing off to center 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Bruh everything is getting hit 100+ to center

[gflore34]

What's that 4 balls over 100 from the Cubs yeah, they're going to get to Abbott for a few.

[PeanutPunch33]

Justin Turner kind of looks like that wildling from game of thrones 

[Derwood]

Too many 390 foot loud outs

[We Got The Whole 9]

Cardinals came back to win 

[JHBulls]

That was a marvellous play. 

[PeanutPunch33]

That's why you keep the kid at 3rd and let him figure it out.  I swear we forget sometimes that this is a top #30 prospect in baseball 

[Jason Ross]

Hey, that Matt Shaw guy ain't half bad.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

6 Ks through 3 from Rea. Too many non-competitive pitches in the first two innings, but he’s settled in a bit.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Yooo this is some wild luck for Abbott

[PeanutPunch33]

UGH he hit that right on the screws.  Lefty on lefty too 

[Illiterate Scholar]

How does 107 mph at 29 degrees not leave GABP 100% of the time?

[Bobson Dugnutt]

That was not a 1-2-3 inning, Alex. “Unconventional 1-2-3 inning” is not a thing.

[UMFan83]

Miggy gives them an extra base leading to a run. PCA makes a nice play but then overthrows the cutoff to put a runner in scoring position blah
