Cubs (Pomeranz) vs Nationals (Irvin): 6/5/25, 5:45pm

[Brandon Glick]

Another opener today. Also, apologies to Drew Pomeranz from myself. I was not familiar with his game. Man is on a heater this season.

Hopefully Tucker back in the line up, Cubs will win today.

Pomeranz was an insanely shrewd pickup. Great job by the scouts. Jed's pen construction is confounding and frustrating but he has a pretty versatile pen now. I wonder if Craig tries to ride him for 2 innings.

I was wondering the same thing. In fact, maybe him for two then Theilbar for 2 before turning  to Rea. Tigers are especially tough on lefties so those guys might not be used much in Detroit. So maybe they can get 4 innings out of the two lefties.

Can the Royals hang on here in the 10th?

Don't worry he'll be dialed in when he faces the Cubs.

Blame the Royals loss on the manager. He has a short pen with their main set up guy in the IL. He has a pitcher with a shutout thru 6 on 82 pitches, of which almost 30 were in the second inning. It is the first game of a doubleheader so he should try to get an extra inning out of his starter, who is cruising. Instead he goes to the pen and they give up 2 runs. Followed by 2 in the 8th. That starter absolutely should have pitched into the 7th.

Just win, don't want to go into the Detroit series on a losing streak.

Whitesox dipped into the Tigers pen the last 2 game so that was good.

JD: Irvin is from Bloomington, MN and was a 4th round pick

Cohen (literally next sentence): Irvin was a 4th round pick out of Bloomington, MN

PCA baby...

Great start tonight

[Derwood]

I'd like a comfortable double digit win today

I can’t explain how little I care/think about the cardinals at this point. 

[Rcal10]

Nice tag by Swanson. Pomeranz hit hard that inning.

Unless you're the Cubs

PCA makes that look routine.

Yeah that had no business being that easy

[Andy]

So PCA has a 2 run HR to dead center that I can't believe he muscled out and he just raced into the gap to snag what probably should've been a double. Just another day

Literally laughed out loud at that 500 innings graphic by Marquee

Damn, what a throw by Happ
