I was surprised there was no comment from the booth after that caught stealing. He ate dirt, came up with a cut on his nose, and that's what they were tending on the bench.

And his face slammed the dirt pretty good.

The only way to throw out PCA when he is on the move is the pitch out, which for some reason doesn’t seem to be a thing in baseball anymore. 

Or pray you get him on the hand to foot exchange.

Don't worry the Phillies will have it figured out by the time the Cubs go to Philly.

Just like the last series with those horsefeatherss, struggling coming in, then, right the ship for and against the Cubs.  They were ass against the Cardinals as well.

Tucker will be fine. He just ate it pretty good on that slide but I can’t imagine he misses time from it.

While bad for his looks, that's good for the Cubs, no hamstring-oblique BS.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Another 2 out RBI. Make this a laugher please.

[gflore34]

Time for Shaw to hit a rocket.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Go long, Shaw.

Welcome back to the lineup Michael Busch

Considering he took he took at bats after the slide and doubled, we all hope so.

Whatever happened,  happened on the swing in his last AB

[Hot Sauce]

Suter looks like he’s bracing to catch an elephant turd with that crouch.

[JHBulls]

I think before Boog goes to Lubbock Texas, he should perhaps go to a Cubs road game. Just saying. 

[Hot Sauce]

I love that Patti in Lubbock is getting love from everybody. 😄

That's the injury of the year - oblique - isn't it?  If so, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!  I'd been okay with bloody, swollen nose if I had choice.  Probably has that in addition to the oblique.

The walks to not so good hitters like Espinal are the killers.  Score some more runs.

As long as nothing is broken, not serious at all. Possibly still sore tomorrow but should be good to go for Washington.

That was a good battle though. Sometimes you’re gonna lose those. Hat tip to Espinal and let’s get the runs back.

Gah, I had to leave after the 2 out walk and thought well he’s cruising and there’s 2 outs no worries. Hopefully we can tack on some more

It does happen, he's really bad, running a -0.3 WAR (-0.4 O, 0.1 D) so far this season, best he's ever put up was three years ago a 2.4.  Don't know why he's hitting second for the Reds.

[Hot Sauce]

Vidal Bruján is the 2025 version of José Macias.

[gflore34]

Then we have our own really bad hitter, Brujan, swinging at ball 4.  Should have had the take sign for him.
