Cubs (Taillon) vs Tigers (Holton): 6/7/25, 12:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, the Cubs don't have to face Skubal today. That's an improvement.

[gflore34]

Cubs will win today, get the game back on the pissbirds (Yamamoto).

Dansby is better than Kelly, but his ugly RISP numbers don’t play well in the cleanup spot

The other day he hit rockets, just got under them a bit, thought a hot streak was in queue.  Maybe today against a much, much lesser pitcher.

Busch is finally getting a start vs a lefty. 

[BKHoo]

When is the last time we lost the first two games in a 3 game series?

 

let’s not let that happen today?

September 2024 in Colorado.

The starter is actually an opener. He is only going one inning. Busch is hitting 7th with the thought he gets the righty in the second inning.

PCA was impressive against a tough lefty yesterday, it seemed like the only thing he couldnt do regularly was hit lefties. We might be seeing another level to his awesomeness

Hopefully he gets to face the opener in the first inning!

Looks like Boog didn’t want to be a running joke anymore.

It a big series nationally so he has to be there at least one game to say he was there.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but on the other side of the coin, when's the last time we swept anyone that wasn't the Rockies or the White Sox.  I think this is a really, really good baseball team.  Hoping they can make some moves at the deadline to become great.

April. Does your doom boner ever go flaccid?

[WhyCantWeWin]

Montero is pretty mediocre, surprised they cant hit him so far

[We Got The Whole 9]

Why does this team that doesn't strike out much tend to strike out a lot against pitchers that dont get a lot of strikeouts?

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a terrible call

[DYMNO]

Egregious 

[Derwood]

This might be the worst umpiring we've seen all year. JFC this zone

[Dfan25]

Strike balls challenge system can’t come soon enough

I've been much more optimistic these last 2 years.  It takes practice. Hahaha.

Who did we sweep in April?  You are probably right I just can't remember.  I remember we blew an opportunity vs the Rangers and Padres at home, along with losing the bullpen implosion vs the Dbacks.
