Cubs (Taillon) vs Cardinals (McGreevy): 6/24/25, 6:45pm

[Andy]

I'm going to choose to believe PCA wouldn't have done that if the first pitch had been correctly called a ball

[profisme]

PCA needs to spend an offseason with Brett Butler, the baseball player. He probably has already met Brett Butler the actress.

Just now, profisme said:

Did Tucker miss the sign there or did PCA do that on his own? Either way that was really dumb.

I would guess PCA did it on his own.  And what sucks is he might not have bunted if the umpire hadn't called a strike on the previous pitch well above the zone.

[Rcal10]

If PCA did that in his own he needs to sit tomorrow. That is 2 boneheaded plays that probably will cost the Cubs a win. He is a great young player. But lately his head has been in his ass. Missed 2 fly balls Saturday and now this nonsense today. 

[Geographyhater8888]

PCA, the one consistent run producer and productive both at the plate and in the field has costed us 2 runs, Great timing.

[Outshined_One]

horsefeathers A, Dansby.

[Andy]

I really wish Dansby would've done something there.

[Derwood]

Dansby would do better with RISP if he just didn't swing at all

[Geographyhater8888]

Please put Busch in the 5 hole. I don’t care if it’s lefty lefty, Swanson is a liability with runners in scoring position.

I'd advice that we not sit one of our best hitters in an important game against a division rival.

5’10”, 260 lb right fielder dives into the netting to make the play. Sure.

PCA should have done something. Anything except a stupid bunt. 

[Wilson A2000]

PCA has not shown himself to be a good bunter. Aim for a line.

[JHBulls]

Shaw hit in the head by the ball. PCA thinks there were 3 outs and gives away a run. PCA with an all time crappy bunt with 1st and 3rd, 1 out, when he’s hit 21 home runs for the year.

It would be a baseball travesty if the Cubs won today.

I am here for it.

I’m convinced Counsell likes staggering the lineup L-R-L-R.

The senseless bunt attempt and outfield error is the difference between a lead and trailing. Of course it happened to be a mistake by our most reliable player.

I would just like Counsell to change the lineup a little. Dansby in the 5 hole hasn’t worked all year. Switch him and Nico around. Do something. Can’t keep trotting the same lineup out there and expect things to change. 

[Derwood]

The hand-wringing about PCA in this thread is stupid. Calm down

First and third and one out for a strikeout prone LHB vs a tough LHP is not a guaranteed run

[s2obed]

Is JD calling plays from booth? He made the comment about a potential bunt by PCA and he proceeds to bunt. What a waste to give away an out.

horsefeathers it. Give me Eugenio Suarez now. 

[abuck1220]

shaw does a weird 1/8th swing at every pitch he takes and I hate it

Let's wait for the MRI, then we can talk about a Suarez trade.

[Hot Sauce]

Nico is trying to win us this game. 

[profisme]

Every unathletic white dude on the field is making crazy defensive plays. I hate St Louis sooooooooooooooooo much.
