Reds (Abbott) vs Cubs (Rea): 5/30/25, 1:20pm

[Brandon Glick]

I predict the Cubs will win tonight. Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson have both historically crushed Abbott.

Good day for Nico's first dinger.

Looks like a good day for a Tucker/PCA blast. Maybe Shaw oppo shot??

Is the wind blowing out?

Must be why they’re starting two guys in center field

Nevermind. I just checked Nico’s career HR spray chart. He isn’t going deep today. 🤣

Do they patrol CF side by side? From the I-formation? I’m genuinely intrigued by this.

Left field close, it an automatic out if they hit it there 😅

Let win another series....

Off to a great start 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Gonna have to go dong for dong today

[WhyCantWeWin]

So every ball in play has been over 100 mph

[UMFan83]

Reds seemingly see Rea well.  6 ER in his last start, now a HR and double in the 1st today.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Only 99 there for Lux…. So i guess that a positive?

[UMFan83]

2-0 now.

Cubs have a pretty tough June coming up, would like it if our pitchers dont all turn back into pumpkins.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

This feels like one of those 16-2 type games.

[JHBulls]

So Colin Rea might just suck today. 

[gflore34]

Pissbirds will lose tonight - Leiter.

[JHBulls]

Pitcher gives up runs, men on base and then it happens, pitching coach comes to the mound and the pitcher turns into an ace.

Name a better duo. 

[BKHoo]

Fortunate to be down only 2. 

[gflore34]

Cubs will score a few today, several with big career numbers vs, Abbott.

[UMFan83]

Last weekend the Reds and Cubs played a 3 game series where no inning ended tied.  Unless the Cubs score 2 in the bottom of the first, that streak will continue.

The Reds have scored 2+ runs in all 4 of the 1st innings so far, and 11 runs total.
