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

[chibears55]

Blew the opportunity to tie or take lead in the 8th and bam the Twins are opening it up now 

[PeanutPunch33]

Twins don't even need to use Duran anymore 

[DrCub]

Ray. Charles could hit off Hodge right now.

Dodgers offense just as bad against the Brewers. Both teams are 3 outs from defeat. Terrible night so far

I haven’t totally thought this through, but third division winner vs first wildcard is a much smaller deal than beating out the dodgers or the NL east champion for a bye right? Obviously a lot of baseball left, but dodgers look fairly human and injuries keep piling up.

That's a wrap pretty much....Brewers on their way to a win as well. Lead down to 2.5 games after tonight. Big weekend series win and a day off followed by nothing offensively. Seen that before.

Is it too late to forfeit so the beating doesnt get worse? I don’t see Hodge getting anyone out tonight.

Nice ole play by Dansby. 

[Hot Sauce]

When Dansby can’t make that play you know it just wasn’t meant to be our night. Better luck tomorrow.

home run derby

[BobbyD3]

Why am I remembering Hodge with more velo?  At this point, he's a taller version of Ethan Roberts.  To Iowa he goes! 

[Wilson A2000]

Porter Hodge does not have it this year

He sat routinely at 97-99 last year I believe. 

[PeanutPunch33]

So, 6 runs later he finally records an out.  Progress!

Jon Berti pitching much better than Porter Hodge. 

[gflore34]

No reason at all the Cubs can’t win the next two.  Twins are very beatable, Hodge may not completely healthy,, I’d like to see Little get another chance.

[profisme]

I would like to see Brujan fired into the sun please. His slug is as low as Shaw’s batting average. He truly would be better off trying to walk or get hit by the pitch every time up.

[Derwood]

Garbage time HR for Turner

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Turner with #200. A successful night.

[JHBulls]

Nice to see CC dipped into his Make A Wish basket by letting Brujan and Turner have AB’s. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

We'll always have 2024 Porter Hodge.

[JHBulls]

Cubs fans not letting Porter Hodge leave Minnesota

 

[gflore34]

Just one game and really, I don’t give a horsefeathers about the Brewers. Cubs are better and within a few weeks will have an improved starting staff.  They’ll be facing another substandard starter tomorrow, I don’t think that leave junk over the middle trick is going to work again for the Twins.
