Guardians (Bibee) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 7/2/25, 7:05pm

[Cubs206]

Suzuki is Japanese for clutch

[chibears55]

Yes Zuki, hit it in just the right spot 😅

[PeanutPunch33]

What would a Seiya extension look like?  I know he probably wasn't thrilled with becoming a DH but the results don't lie.

Maybe 3 years 66 mill? 
 

[SpongeWorthy]

gotta slide homie 

[UMFan83]

lmao PCA seems like he was trying to force a throw to 3B and didn't have a plan for stopping if he actually beat it.  Either that or he 100% expected a throw home and was surprised when the ball came to him at 3rd and didn't slide.

Don't like another out on the bases but I'll take the nice hit and extra run.

PCA gets another..

Why didnt he slide 🤦‍♂️

[Jason Ross]

On one hand, kind of dumb PCA didnt stick at 3b. 

On the other, it just stops the inevitable Swanson-ground-out followed by the "he cant hit with runners on" talk...

So...like...not sure which is worse?

[chibears55]

Should of just ran home after overrunning the base ..lol

Getting out on the bases so that Dansby is guaranteed to hit with no one on base is galaxy brain thinking by PCA

[chibears55]

Glad to see they got some runs on this guy who around 100 pitches in just 4 inni

[CubinNY]

PCA gotta slide. He’ll learn

[JHBulls]

Weird that Quintin Berry was pissed after being 15 metres away from PCA and hiding himself behind the 3rd baseman and ump. Quentin, position yourself where PCA can see you.

Does Quentin Barry need to be halfway to home to tell Seiya to keep going?

PCA wasn't looking at anybody, he was flying and had 3B on his mind from the get go...   im sure he was expecting a throw home and was surprise they ball was there .

Seemed pretty clear he was pissed at himself

Yes, gives him time to throw the hands up if needed.  The problem with that play was just the fact PCA was expecting the throw to go home and the cut off guy made a smart choice by going to 3B hoping for something like that to happen. 

[chibears55]

Maybe Swanson should leadoff, less opportunities to bat with guys in scoring position 😅

[chibears55]

Love to see 2-3 more from Cubs, be a little more comfortable 

[UMFan83]

Love Shaws defense but his ABs and contact quality are so crappy

Barry was too far down the line. You don’t have to be that far down the line to stop Seiya. 

[Outshined_One]

I get that Pressly needs to earn his way back, but I'd rather it be in mop up situations.

[UMFan83]

Brewers lose, so the Cubs will either gain or lose 0.5 games today

[Cubs206]

Would be nice if the lead off hitter could lead off an inning with a hit. At least he walked before. 

[chibears55]

Is it me or has Happ really lost a step or two this season, even in the OF getting to some balls he just looks slower.

[BigSlick]

baseball is good again a-woooo
