Cubs (Rea) vs Phillies (Abel): 6/10/25, 5:45pm

[Derwood]

Feels like the Cubs are getting a steady diet of top-of-the-zone fastballs for the past few weeks

[We Got The Whole 9]

Shaw gets himself out chasing too much. A little too anxious.

He's an aggressive swinger. We saw this from PCA when he first came up. Saw this with Ballesteros. Nico is this as well.

The Cubs like the profile of "aggressive swinger, lots of contact". It takes a bit of time for these types of rookies to adjust to the concept of "just because I can hit it doesn't mean I should hit it".

I think after he let that little spinning fart go by he overcompensated 

[JHBulls]

Can Boog stop reacting to HR’s the exact same way for both clubs? He’s not on a national broadcast.

[Derwood]

Rea giving up a ton of hard contact

[Derwood]

Also, is Brandon Marsh the grossest looking person in the majors. I feel like I can smell him through my TV

[javy knows my name]

Colin "Rocket" Rea

[Rcal10]

I hate to say it, but I think Flexin should take Rea’s spot in the rotation if they don’t get a pitcher soon.

Have you seen how much money razors cost these days? There is no way Brandon could afford one. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Please walk Schwarber and take your shot with Bohm

It's his greasy hair

He’d need to take out a small loan for shampoo and conditioner. Don’t even get me started on how much scissors cost these days.

Another Homer in the upper third. Good to see.

[JHBulls]

Ian Happ with the bomb.

Ok boog definitely sounded happier about Kepler's dong than Happ's just now

He often thinks because he has to be neutral on the national broadcasts he does, he needs to also be neutral on Cubs games.

Yea he does that alot...

Wonder what gonna happen with him next season now that ESPN won't be doing games, if he signs elsewhere it possible they Cubs could allow him to leave.

Boog must have been reading this thread. Said Cubs HR’s are the only ones that matter. 😛

[We Got The Whole 9]

A big hit from Tucker here would do wonders 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Or he can chase and get himself out instead of taking ball 4 and bringing in a run
