Cubs (Horton) vs Astros (Walter): 6/27/25, 7:10pm

[Derwood]

As soon as Boog and JD started the game talking about Horton's low BB% in the majors, I knew they had jinxed him

[Derwood]

JFC, Turner is barely running faster than walking out there

[gflore34]

I'm a Shaw believer he might even have a good week or two but, holy horsefeathers, his struggles at the plate are getting tiresome.

Boog said before the game that the Cubs are 29th in average and 27th in slug vs lefties since late May. Checks out. They need to find a solution to that and quickly

it feels like an accomplishment when he hits it out of the infield

Hopefully Horton can pull another rabbit out of a hat

He had three balls in play with a .490 xBA or higher. Only one hit. There's improvement. 

Tonight's first PA wasn't great but yesterday was quite good regardless of result.

[PeanutPunch33]

Just get him out of the game 

[Cubbies1996]

Horton is getting screwed. And that leadoff triple would’ve been cool to score now

[UMFan83]

Please get pitching

[Dfan25]

It’s going to be a long weekend . 

[gflore34]

Game over.

 But at the same time he hasn't done anything to meaningfully change his future projection, especially since he's already gotten moved off the infield.

For a player that is 22 and has 32 professional games going into the year that seems like a pretty big win.  Wasn't he moved off of 3B just because they already had a 3B?

[CubinNY]

Horton shitting the bed

[We Got The Whole 9]

Maybe yall can back the rookie up and light this horsefeathers Chump up now please?

[PeanutPunch33]

Insert almost any left handed bum vs this lineup and it’ll be 6 IP 1 R 

[gflore34]

While Horton did a good job on his last start at Wrigley.  He's yet to have a dominating game, I'm beginning to wonder if it's going to happen at all this season.

[BigSlick]

The baseball gods hate it when you strand a runner on 3rd with zero outs. We are receiving their just punishment. 

[JHBulls]

Let’s hope the Rockies aren’t horsefeathers this weekend. 

[PeanutPunch33]

They can’t even get a couple of horsefeathers runs to make it interesting 

[CubinNY]

Altuve has the swing of a baseball player in the 1930s.. I mean that in a good way. 
 

I love Cam Smith. 

[soccer10k]

Welp time to turn this one off.

[Derwood]

welp

[s2obed]

We traded the wrong 3B ;(

MLB scouts are like meteorologists. Can continue to be wrong and still have a job.
