Pirates (Heaney) vs Cubs (Taillon): 6/12/25, 7:05pm

[Brandon Glick]

Easiest series left on the schedule this month. Let's get some wins here.

The Pirates play hard, they swept the Phillies recently.  I'd be satisfied with 3/4

Yep, 3 of 4 would be awesome 

Love to see the bats rolling again,  and some good pitching these games

Speaking of Pirates, today is the 55th anniversary of Dock Ellis’ infamous no-hitter.

3/4 be would great, of the Pirates, Marlins and Rockies, the Pirates, after the Rockies, might have the worst line up.  They've better pitching than the Marlins or Rockies which helps to keep them games but, their line up? A total WAR of 3.9, PCA' WAR is 3.9.  And even though statistically the Marlins line up may be worse than the Pirates, the Marlins, no matter how ****** they are, always give the Cubs fits.

Heaney isn’t bad. Wind blowing in. I doubt they pound him but i do expect a win. I think a lot of people expect way more than what is reality. They don’t have to dominate, just won. But Heaney isn’t bad. 

[UMFan83]

Can we do the thing where we get baserunners and score runs?

[profisme]

Gonna be another one of those horsefeathering nights huh?

We’ve been scoring less runs per game in each  successive month.  Maybe this is the real offense.  

[We Got The Whole 9]

27 pitches through 3... 

[We Got The Whole 9]

At least Jamo is up to the task. 

[profisme]

Well I think PCA is good. 

[Tryptamine]

Jesus that was head high and he smoked it.

[DrCub]

It feels like PCA hits more bad pitches for HRs than good pitches. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Good adjustment. He had taken some real bad swings on fastballs and then does that

[chibears55]

MVPete gets them on the board 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Lmao how do you hit that out 

[PeanutPunch33]

MVP

You be as talented as Pete Crow-Armstrong. 

[Jason Ross]

I'm not sure "Pete hits 40 home runs" is even the 99% outcome.

With this said, may "we don't have a star level player" in our MiLB system never be uttered again. Because I've heard it too many times.

Brewer super prospect Jacob Misiorowski is through 5 no hit innings in his major league debut against the Cardinals.
