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

[We Got The Whole 9]

PCA's launch angle is insane. I think he has the highest of any Cub in the Statcast era

[Transmogrified Tiger]

he backspinned the bejeezus out of that one

[DYMNO]

Hahaha. That HR had an xBA of .210

[PeanutPunch33]

PCA!

[Eeyore]

That helps 

[Geographyhater8888]

I knew he’d hit that out just by looking at the pitch and location on stat cast. Terribly located pitch to PCA. 

[chibears55]

Just saw Harper gonna be out for the Phillies series,  that'll work. 

[DYMNO]

SHAW!!!

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hell yeah Shaw! 

[PeanutPunch33]

Shaw is playing like a 1st round pick 

[chibears55]

Shaw goes boom...

Let Go

[Derwood]

Shaw finally gets one to pull

[DYMNO]

I almost can't believe that's the 1st HR from 3B ALL YEAR. That's insane. 

[Eeyore]

If Shaw starts hitting with power, he'll be rookie of the year.

[DYMNO]

I hate bunts, except for that one. That was a beaut. 

[PeanutPunch33]

That's the first home run by a Cubs starting third baseman this year, according to JD, lmao.  That is WILD 

[Rcal10]

Matt Shaw might be a solid bat. And if he is this line up could be special.

My stream is, apparently, two pitches off. 🤬

Not gonna lie I really like Reese McGuire.  Really good defense and while not great offensively, he'll run into one every now and then.  Wonder what they do when Amaya is back

Yep,  it coming,  all those oppo drives he has had, pitchers are going to start coming inside a bit more most likely.

It's hard to say that his defense isn't top 5 at 3rd base already.  If his bat plays, he becomes an all star caliber player.

DFA and hope to stash him in Iowa 

[BKHoo]

Our catcher depth is very very good. 

[Donzo]

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