Cubs (Horton) vs Nationals (Trevor Williams): 6/3/25, 5:45pm

[Derwood]

This first base umpire is built like Ed Hochule. What happened to my pot-bellied old dude umps?

[DrCub]

This team will never see another fastball.

Is it possible that Hoerner lost power over the off-season?

His EV is above his career average and he's posting a career high LA. As well, his wRC+ is one point away from his career high. 

Power league wide is down. Its largely presumed to once again be the baseball. I would guess thats the answer. Nico has been very good.

Not complaining about his hits, it is just shocking how little power he has. That is all.

I know. Was attempting to answer your question. 

Hes not lost power. The baseball has lost juice. 

[profisme]

Need a strikeout right now

[profisme]

Team looks lackluster tonight 

[BKHoo]

Busch that was terrible. Easily an error. 

[JHBulls]

These days, 4+ runs to win seems like a mountain to climb.

Should have been an error. At the very least he has to stay in front of that ball and even if it hits off of him he has time to pick it up and step on 1st. Just a bad play.

My goodness, I love PCA. 

[profisme]

PCA is a better Javy. 

[CubinNY]

PCA is so much like Javy

[DYMNO]

DEKED.

[We Got The Whole 9]

He really is another Javy lol

[JHBulls]

To think that the Mets traded us PCA because Javier Baez had the “swim move “ perfected lol.

[profisme]

That was funny. No way that the 3B should have cared about PCA there. 

[DYMNO]

Busch heating up. You love to see it.

[DYMNO]

Nice job there by Dansby.

[profisme]

Need a shutdown inning from Cade now.

As if any 3rd baseman thinks they can outrun PCA to 3rd base, especially when PCA is closer to getting back to 3rd than the fielder was. 

[CubinNY]

not the best outing for Horton

Cohen is so awful. His inane anecdotes are often poorly timed, and he always has to have the last word. I don’t know why Boog keeps missing road trips, but I hope it gets figured out soon. 

[CubinNY]

He keeps leaking out over the plate 

[profisme]

Matt Shaw is so good at going the other way with it.
