Cubs (Imanaga) vs Twins (Woods Richardson): 7/8/25, 6:40pm

[Cubbies1996]

Excited for Dansby’s roll over ground ball to 3rd 

[chibears55]

Damn, too hard off the wall for Tucker to score and not high enough to get over, now that bad luck......

[chibears55]

Swanson got his hit already tonight 🙄🙄🙄

It is cute you think he will make contact. 

[chibears55]

Giant hole on right side just take it there

Turns out I was being too optimistic. Why wouldn’t you swing at ball 4!?

[UMFan83]

“Thank God Dansby is up here” said no one ever

[PeanutPunch33]

That's just awful

[profisme]

I would rather see a pitcher hit than Dansby with RISP. That is how pathetic he has been in that situation. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Swanson is inevitable.

 

[Soul]

Swanson was so late on those fastballs it’s like he decided to swing after the ball was past him.

Im still curious as to what will happen with him next season with no more ESPN games.

Will he do more games or what will he choose to do if whomever takes over for ESPN wants to hire him, will he be able to still do Cubs games?

 

Anyone know when his Cubs contract expires?

That’s all I could find. Just “multi-year” extensions, not when his contract expires.

I get a really bad feeling about sending Imanaga back out there for the third time through the order.

Tried to pull all 3 of those pitches that were on outer half instead of just going the other to where he had a giant hole to hit through. 

 

Don't know why CC just don't flip him and Happ just to give them both a different look in the order and maybe they can get going.

Same when I had looked before, couldn't find anything exact for him or JD

[KCCub]

Misiorowski is a freak, wow.

Him and Boyd as of now are the only guys in the rotation that they can count on to go deep and save the pen that  will be needed more for the other 3 starters.

[Cubbies1996]

This is the inning. I can feel it 

[chibears55]

Theyre not getting shutout, once they get a run across , they'll get a few to take the lead.

[UMFan83]

Dodgers had 2nd and 3rd and 1 out and didn’t score. Brewers still lead ffs

[731.4life]

Chris Segal is animated behind the plate.

[We Got The Whole 9]

So Shota is basically a pitch to contact extraordinaire now. Only 3 games this season has he posted a 7+ K9. What the hell.

And the Cubs are in dire need of some pulled fly balls.

[profisme]

Nico needs to stop swinging for the fences. I remember when Theriot thought he was all of a sudden a power hitter. 

[Derwood]

Can we admit that Dansby just can't catch up to 97mph anymore?

Dansby can’t catch up to 79mph anymore
