Cubs (Flexen) vs Yankees (Rodon): 7/11/25, 6:05pm

[BKHoo]

We need robo umps now!!

[PeanutPunch33]

Should be first and 3rd 1 out but this dork ump 

[Chicago Al]

I could be wrong but I haven’t seen one of Rodon’s sliders actually being in the strike zone.

[Derwood]

Rodon is a tough matchup for our lefties. That pitch moving down and away is going to get a lot of swing and miss

[Derwood]

This ump is going to force some weak contact with people having to swing at pitches at their shoelaces

[PeanutPunch33]

So what’s the plan after Flexen?  Asking him to go more than 4 seems like playing with fire..

[CubinNY]

I hope they put the challenge system in next year. I’m so sick of the bad calls

Pomeranz? Hicks?

[Geographyhater8888]

So much for that randomness factor so far.

I hope Hicks gets a shot.  Would be huge if he can go a couple of innings 

[soccer10k]

Not ideal letting two guys reach before Judge.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

You guys know his name is Wicks, right?

[Illiterate Scholar]

Would be nice if the strike zone could even out a bit. Swing would have been different on 0-2

Berti 🤷‍♂️

[Eeyore]

Some day, the cubs will learn about preventing the runners from advancing instead of throwing home.

Doesn't matter now 😕

[PeanutPunch33]

Bats better get active soon or this is another long night 

[CubinNY]

One inning too many

[Derwood]

My pirated stream is choppy as fuuuck. Very annoying. I've tried 3 or 4 sites and it feels like they're all tapped into the same crappy stream

[chibears55]

That escalated quickly....

Go to Amazon and buy a Superbox, you’ll never miss a Cubs game.

I was frantically googling thinking Cubs had acquired Jordan Hicks
