Mariners (Gilbert) vs Cubs (Rea): 6/22/25, 1:20pm

[javy knows my name]

Solano has to be one of the worst regulars in baseball, right? We're making him look like a monster

[PeanutPunch33]

lol, never mind 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Damn they got Pete 

 

Raleigh you monster

[PackLandVA]

Perfect throw

[chibears55]

Wind blowing out a hundred miles an hour with a power bat up, no need to steal.

Doesn't matter, another strikeout

Disagree. I wanted him in scoring position.

Busch looks completely baffled by Gilbert

Not with Busch up there, it also took away the hole with the first basemen on the bag.

He could of attempted with Nico up there, maybe even do a hit n run.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Shaw's approach is killing me. Work a horsefeathers AB and get them to give you something to hit.

We're toast against this guy. I can see why he's had the year he's had. He must mix about 4 or 5 different breaking balls in his arsenal. Rarely throws a fastball and when he does it's a crisp 96mph or so. Rea with another fastball to Raleigh...he's a slow learner as is the Cub staff this weekend. Stop giving him pitches to HIT fer crissakes. 

[PeanutPunch33]

This certainly won't quiet the "Cubs under perform vs good teams" crowd 

[cubfansince77]

Seiya sure does struggle in RF...damn Craig, just DH him the rest of the season. He's all thumbs out there.

[chibears55]

Zuki showing why he's a DH today 🙄

[Eeyore]

Brujan has been flashing the leather 🙄

[Geographyhater8888]

Alright. Now hit 4 solo homers and a bases loaded fielders choice rbi at the bottom of the inning and we have the lead, 

[UMFan83]

Well. Winning 9 game homestand after a winning 9 game road trip. Can’t stress about what other teams are doing just gotta handle our business. 

[PeanutPunch33]

This is why I've been so adamant about the Cubs exploring Suarez or Bregman as a trade possibility.  You really can't have enough offense when going against elite SP, come playoff time.  Shaw is nice but a year away.  Half season commitment on Suarez and might not cost too much.  Most contenders don't have holes at 3rd.

Did the Cubs promotions department think this Illinois State Cubs cap giveaway through? It's white and red with a cardinal on it.

Toast against Gore too, Skubal, Skenes, Wheelers and I guess Flathery is really good too. 

[JHBulls]

A nice 25+ pitch 5th inning to get Gilbert out of the game would be nice.

They were 4-5 on the road trip.

For the next idea, they are going to sign up the broadcast booth to call games the way photographers used to photograph games

Whoops  well whatever. Clearly not playing great baseball and 9-9 in our last 18

[cubfansince77]

McGuire has been a damn solid backup catcher since he's come up. Real pleasant surprise indeed. Amaya started a throwing program about a week ago,
