Cubs (Boyd) vs Nationals (Gore): 6/4/25, 5:45pm

[PeanutPunch33]

Great battle between these two starters 

[chibears55]

How about a run or two here now, don't really wanna see that first inning come back to bite them in the ass

[JHBulls]

So one of those games where crappest bullpen losses?

[UMFan83]

23 straight Cubs have come up since their last hit back in the 1st inning. 

[Dfan25]

At 94 pitches , it’s possible Gore gets and out or two in the 8th . 

[Derwood]

What a punchable face

[DYMNO]

Welp.

I know the Cubs have the resources. So they can get it done if the Nats are open to it. And I sure hope you are right and they are. Just for discussion sake, does Wiggins, Christian Hernandez and any other bat the Nats want from the system get it done and would you do it? Maybe a small 4th piece is added. 

Its likely multiple prospects you dont want to trade, plus more. Like Ballesteros/Caissie/Alcantara tier stuff plus others. 

 

Essentially, if you aren't kind of throwing up typing it out, if it doesnt make you feel like "Is this too much?" Then it probably isnt realistic. 

 

I despise the guessing game of what it might take so this as deep as Ill go. But thats how Id explain it. It should make you feel real pain if youre going to suggest it.

wow, that is gross

He looks like he sounds, If voices were punchable…

[PeanutPunch33]

Really hope the Cubs can scratch out a few runs because I want to see Boyd go the distance 

[UMFan83]

Cubs have 3 HRs in their last 8 games and THAT hit goes out for Washington

[BigSlick]

Thank god im not watching this because i probably would have lost it seeing that first inning

[chibears55]

It gonna be one of those games isn't it ?

Bases loaded no outs in first, don't score, then get shutdown the rest of game.

Boyd looks untouchable the whole game, gives up a solo shot that barely made it out and that the winner.

 

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[UMFan83]

Any chance Tucker can PH? 

[UMFan83]

Would be insanely annoying to lose a game 1-0 after getting 3 singles to start the game and then not getting a single hit the rest of the game. Especially with the Tigers and Phillies looming. 

[Rcal10]

It happens. Gore is tough. I knew once they didn’t score he was going to be tough to score on. Still a chance, but even good teams lose once in a while. 15-5 them last 20 isn’t bad. And they haven’t lost yet!!!! 

[soccer10k]

This is going to be an annoying loss.

[WhyCantWeWin]

An 8 inning CG loss would be nasty 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Well alright, wont be as nasty now

[DYMNO]

Ugh 

[Derwood]

This game sucks

[UMFan83]

Boyd didn’t look as sharp to me in the 8th. Think the Cubs were hoping they wouldn’t have to use the pen

Yay! The Nats might need to activate the mercy rule in the 1st inning.

Agree. I think if the Cubs were tied or winning Boyd wouldn’t have pitched into the 8th.
