Rockies (Palmquist) vs Cubs (Taillon): 5/26/25, 1:20pm

[UMFan83]

Interesting route by the RF on Seiya's double lol

[Derwood]

Did Pink Hat Guy die or get banned or something? Haven't seen him all year

[gflore34]

Shaw is going to mash today, think he'll get a good look and hit the ball hard.

[ryanrc]

This is a great series for players to work on their weak points. Have all the guys like Hoerner, Turner, and Happ swinging for the FENCES as often as possible. Have Suzuki, PCA, and Swanson aiming to draw walks or take singles. Mix it up. 

As far as pitching, I hope we give Chris Flexen a spot start. Let him prove he can take Ben Brown's rotation spot for awhile. Also, let Ben Keller get a nice long look, too. 

I hate it when GMS are boring and fail to use these opportunities to test things out. 

[Tryptamine]

Well this has been a very underwhelming offensive start.

It always feels like these "the opposing starter sucks so this should be an easy win" games end up being more difficult than they need to be

[UMFan83]

This dude's first 2 starts: 8.1 IP, 16 H, 11 ER, 5 BB

Seems to be doing better today but I suppose it can't get much worse.

I’ve seen him a couple of times. Maybe he’s taken a leaf out of Boog’s book, but where Boog doesn’t travel outside Chicago, Pink Hat Guy can only leave the nursing home 1 or 2 times a month.

I get what your saying but that how you lose these games by not going after them hard from the start and just playing like it ST

[We Got The Whole 9]

This guy has a 2.0 WHIP, get your horsefeathers together Cobs

Too early, gotta wait til the 6th inning 😅

[JHBulls]

You’d kind of hope that Coors Field does moundball for the four season ticket holders they’ve got. Surely you’d need an incentive to go to a Rockies home game.

horsefeathers off wind. 

[Tryptamine]

Well the wind kept that from a HR.

[UMFan83]

Geez that’s a HR probably in 70 games per year at Wrigley

[WhyCantWeWin]

The wind killed that one 

[We Got The Whole 9]

393 feet flyout to RF?!

They are somehow 10th in the league in attendance

Things I didn’t expect to read. But there you go.

Have you ever been to Coors? It’s my favorite ballpark in MLB. Not a bad seat in the house. Even the rock pile

actually, they are playing a bit like I suggested. Happ just swung for the fences... really not so far off from my suggestion so far....

[PackLandVA]

Wind didn't keep that one in the park.

[Eeyore]

That was impressive 

[UMFan83]

Did not expect to struggle to beat the Rockies today. 
 

need one of those 6 run innings
