That was refreshing,  Cabrera mowed them down. 

 

Let the comeback begin now.

Not going to happen today, they're missing meatballs can't do anything with them.

14 pitches and 2 fastballs to PCA. All above the zone.

Team wide offensive slump? Are we already in September?

Wtf just happened? I went to the bathroom while Cabrera was pitching in the 7th inning and fewer than 10 minutes later, Flexen is pitching in the 8th. If our hitters had a six pitch 6th inning, then how short was the 7th?

the Cubs have won 4 in a row, 7 of 8, and 10 of 12

[UMFan83]

2024 Wrigley:

Cubs - .670 OPS

Opponents: .638 OPS

2024 Road:

Cubs - .747 OPS

Opponents - .746 OPS

 

2025 Wrigley: 

Cubs - .747 OPS

Opponents - .696 OPS

2025 road:

Cubs - .842 OPS

Opponents - .730 OPS

 

Maybe its too early to say anything definitive about 2025 Wrigley since we haven't even hit June and the weather has been up and down but why is Wrigley such death to hitters the last 2 seasons?

Gotta move in the right and left field corners

[Outshined_One]

Well, at least it won't be a shutout.

[WhyCantWeWin]

[We Got The Whole 9]

Let's get a walk/single and a Seiya slam this time

[Outshined_One]

Boo.

[PeanutPunch33]

That was such a buzz kill 

[squally1313]

Flexen is pretty valuable in a bullpen saving way. The bad thing is that he’s only here because the guy we signed for that job is in the rotation, and the worse thing is that we might have to sign another flexen soon when this flexen has to fill a rotation spot. 

[gflore34]

I hope Wicks is ready for the next Reds series, if the Cubs could line up Shota, Boyd and Wicks I like their chances.

[PeanutPunch33]

Not having Shota really sucks.  This game had 7 IP, 1 ER written all over it 

[CUBDOM4life]

If my math is right, the Cubs bullpen hasn’t allowed an earned run in their last 25ish innings

[UMFan83]

I know people were saying Abbot was serving up hittable pitches that we weren't capitalizing on but is it possible he was just really good today?

[UMFan83]

lol PCA seems to get a lot of those bloop hits in between mashing the ball

[JHBulls]

If nothing else, this team is never boring. 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Fake rally time!
