Reds (Lodolo) vs Cubs (Pomeranz): 5/31/25, 1:20pm

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was so incredibly predictable. Can anyone on this team hit a change up? The book is clear; 90% secondary pitches and sprinkle in some 4 seams here and there.

Remember when Happ doubled to lead off the first and we thought/hoped it meant we were going to be good today?

Yep, double then a hit batter, two men on with the two RBI leaders coming up and nothing.....

[chibears55]

Hate games like this for the Cubs, cause you're just waiting for the Reds to get a couple bleeders to fall in,  a walk to end up scoring,  or some weak hitter to hit one out.

 

[Derwood]

Of course we're wasting the one appearance start Brown has had all year

[PeanutPunch33]

Today is the best I've seen Brown in a long while.  Should stick with this opener routine for him for the time being. 

[UMFan83]

Come on another horsefeathers DP. 2 from our number 4 hitter who is an a average hitting catcher hitting cleanup

He's playing too much now,  the back n forth with Amaya was working for him.

Kelly has turned into a pumpkin. Like a Halloween pumpkin after about 2 months on the porch. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Move Kelly down in the lineup already and let Busch bat vs lefties.

This inning worries me with Brown.

If we win it wasn’t wasted.

Meh. He was always bound to regress back to career norms

Oh yea, PCA definitely crossing the plate this inning.

[BKHoo]

Ok PCA. Let’s create some havoc.

[chibears55]

Another leadoff hitter on base, can we score now

[Geographyhater8888]

PCA finally laying off pitches 6+ inches off the plate.

[PeanutPunch33]

PCA is a video game 

[profisme]

When did Dansby last put a ball in play?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Hanging slider over the middle of the plate that Dansby couldn't make contact with.

He’s only 23 and made a significant jump from last season. He’s far from a finished project.
