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

[BKHoo]

I love it when we play defense like this. 

[UMFan83]

PCA saw that he dropped to 4th in fWAR and took it personal

[We Got The Whole 9]

Perfectly played and fantastic tag by Nico

[Illiterate Scholar]

Hell of a play by both Happ and Nico, dang

[We Got The Whole 9]

Well this is precarious 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hope Nathaniel Lowe isnt 'due'

[We Got The Whole 9]

Wow thought they were walking Wood for sure 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Does Wood hit every ball 135 mph?

[CubinNY]

I know the Cubs are playing bottom feeders right now, but that are a solid team. Jed has to be so happy right now.

Fortunately it was at someone and bonus, Rea got threw the best part of their lineup scoreless.

[gflore34]

Come on Seiya make Irvin pay for walking Tucker.

[Rcal10]

I think they are going to need more than 3. Rea is shaky to me. Fortunately I think they will score more.

I can’t believe I am going to say this but we have the bullpen advantage, hopefully he can keep us in front.

Is there a estimate on when Amaya could return,  they need him back

I thought it was about 6 weeks. He isn’t coming back any time soon. 

[Eeyore]

How many near collisions has Happ been in?

I used to blame PCA but it happens with Swanson too.

Does Happ refuse to call for it?

[We Got The Whole 9]

About horsefeathers time Happ

[chibears55]

Happer with a bomb and some breathing room on the scoreboard

That didn't take long

Ok, So probably not til around the break 

[BKHoo]

If there was any player in the lineup that we would hope would just crush one, it would be Happ, right?

[squally1313]

Happ hot streak going into this stretch would be very nice

Well actually the prognosis was 4-6. I went 6. So maybe a little before the break. 

[Post Count Padder]

Do the Nats just not K much or was our game plan entirely to induce soft contact?

Despite what you’d believe browsing these threads, occasionally the cubs get lucky and the other team can’t get anything to fall (they’re beating us in xBA by like 55 points)
