Pirates (Skenes) vs Cubs (Horton): 6/13/25, 1:20pm

[abuck1220]

quite a swing from that blown strike 2 call my goodness. 

[BKHoo]

The strike call was embarrassingly bad but we will take it!!!!

[PackLandVA]

I think Nico stepping on the pinky of Frazier helped secure the out.

[profisme]

Steal second now?

[chibears55]

Maybe this inning someone will get that knock and drive in a run, who wants to be today offensive hero

[profisme]

Did the team stop stealing bases abruptly?

And then the ump gets called out by the hitter after a bad call like that and ejects the player. Probably because the ump feels like he’s just been embarrassed on top of making an embarrassing call. Ironic.

Happ dong here would be nice

[Tryptamine]

This has been a pretty badly managed game so far.

[chibears55]

Guess this is when the Pirates score 🤦‍♂️

[UMFan83]

2 pitches and there's a runner on 3rd ugh

I guess you can bunt a runner to 3rd in a scoreless game where 1 run is huge. Who knew?

[Tryptamine]

Keller with the horsefeathers throw, 1-0.

[UMFan83]

you were never going to get him at home come on.

1-0 Pirates

[BigSlick]

I havne't watched a minute of this game but you're not allowed to have 7 hits and 2 walks and have zero runs

i dont make the rules, i just enforce them 

[Tryptamine]

Keller looked pretty bad last night and he's resuming it today.

Catcher running. Zero reason to concede the run. A throw to the catcher and he's out.

[Irrelevant Dude]

It cannot be stated enough how terrible Zaidman is on the radio.  He gives you no idea what is actually happening.

"Keller fields the ball and throws a strike to homeplate, but it's an errant throw."

I think this is his 4th appearance in 5 days....he's tired fer crissakes

[chibears55]

Funny game here..

SP matchup favored the Pirates but Horton matched Skenes for 6 innings.

Bullpen favored the Cubs and so far it the Cubs pen that gave up the first run

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Couldn't agree more....he HAS to know somebody up high in the Cubs organization. He sucks.

Exactly, which brings us back to why there was no reason to pull Horton after 76 pitches.

[BigSlick]

cubs are not allowed to lose this game, again, i dont make the rules. you have to figure out a way to win

He fielded it running towards the base path and directly in front of the runner.  Obviously the IF was in for a reason to get him at home but once that ball was hit it should have been thrown to 1st IMO.

He's given up 1 hit so far 🤷‍♂️
