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

[DYMNO]

To be honest, I am kind of over Happ as the leadoff guy.

Shaw hit a HR before he was sent down. Was it a pintch hit or did he play 2B that game?

Pinch hit

[We Got The Whole 9]

This has been a really good series for the pen. Starters going deeeeep.

[PeanutPunch33]

The Cubs may want to get Palencia in there today, just to give him some work.  He hasn't pitched in like 8 days lmao

Really impressed now with how CC is managing the pen.  He keeps these guys healthy 

[Rcal10]

I think I would let Taillon start the 8th. Go batter to batter. Maybe he doesn’t finish the inning but let him start it. 

[DYMNO]

SEIYA LATER!!!!

[We Got The Whole 9]

5 bombs

Have a day Zuki

Dong party

[Eeyore]

He must be enjoying playing right field again.

[Illiterate Scholar]

3 more 100+ mph bullets from Seiya. That's what he does

[PeanutPunch33]

I've been saying for 3 years that the Cubs have an all star in Seiya, some people laughed at me.  This is who he's ALWAYS been when healthy 

[DYMNO]

This offense is so much fun. I can't remember them ever being this deep, with threats all throughout the lineup. This team is special.

Hey, not me! 

[DYMNO]

And this bullpen deserves a TON of credit. They have been nails of late. 

[PeanutPunch33]

C'mon Thielbar, don't ruin the fun 

[chibears55]

I always thought pitchers always had the 3 basic pitches since High School.

FB Change and Curve, or has that changed nowadays

[PeanutPunch33]

I've seen some bad ones behind the plate over the years, and this guy has to be up there.  Awful ump

Certainly not the case. Most prep pitchers are running a fastball + one other pitch set up. They might occasionally work in a third, but any prep pitcher who's got three developed pitches out of HS is pretty much a unicorn now a days. 

Slider is very popular for the 2nd pitch.

There are some who have better feels for the changeup but its not a very popular pitch in the HS ranks outside of a show me.

Feels like Palencia always struggles in that second inning

[WhyCantWeWin]

Man this ump is ass

Ok, I just remember back when I played in HS in the 80s most everyone had the curve and changeup to go with the FB.

I was a catcher and it was always 1 FB 2 curve and 3 change   lol

[JHBulls]

W!

Good win and fantastic record. 40-24 and no rainouts for the year still. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Great throw and great tag
