Cubs (Taillon) vs Astros (Valdez): 6/29/25, 1:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

Can the Cubs get win No. 50 on the year?

[Southpaw19]

With this lineup, and recency bias against Taillon - I don't foresee a series win here. 🤔

I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

[Geographyhater8888]

This has 6-1 loss written all over it.

Let Buschy start

[Eeyore]

A Sunday rubber game?

 

These always turn out great 🙄

[Rcal10]

Be happy they won yesterday. Today does not look good. Hope I am proven wrong. 

[CubinNY]

Tough match up today. It’s baseball so anything can happen 

[JHBulls]

Cardinals about to sweep Cleveland. So annoying.

[Geographyhater8888]

Jamo vs the Crawford boxes, Cubs vs a left handed starter, Cubs vs a dominant left handed starter. Any reason for optimism today?

[UMFan83]

Damn, Seiya hit that one well, just held up too long 

[chibears55]

Taillon gonna shock us all today and have a QS.

Bats will do just enough to get this W

4-2 Cubs

Bummer. That was a good opportunity to score one

[Derwood]

Soft contact to Isaac. 

[Derwood]

BABIP gods are smiling on Houston today

[PeanutPunch33]

Jamo is so mid 

[Andy]

This is gonna be a rough day for Taillon

[cubfansince77]

Taillon is just....bad all of a sudden. So good earlier in the season and it's as if he's ran out of gas. We have virtually no shot today with him on the mound....none. His ERA will balloon past 5 today. Failed signing by Jed. JT is a nice guy, good teammate, etc...just looks old all of a sudden.

left out a few facts

[Cubbies1996]

Got incredibly lucky in that Altuve AB. Great pitch to strike him out but the one before just hung there

That's why I roll my eyes at the Mitch Keller rumors.  He's Jamo 2.0.  

[Geographyhater8888]

Is Yadi Molina Houston’s hitting coach? They’re exceptionally good at aiming grounders between fielders.

[UMFan83]

Nice he got out of it without damage but 31 pitches is going to make it tougher moving forward.

[Derwood]

He gave up two soft hits then retired the side. Buck up, you ninnies
