Cubs (Horton) vs White Sox (Civale): 7/26/25, 6:10pm

[Derwood]

No one is hitting it out of the infield

[BigSlick]

Good lord man this is a nightmare

[javy knows my name]

Terrible pitch selection really bailed dude out

[profisme]

At this point I would almost prefer Dansby just not swing with runners in scoring position and less than 2 outs. He is so impressively awful this year in that situation. Then of course Nico does the one thing he should never do, hit it in the air. This team is on the struggle bus.

Why does this slump have to overlap just in time to play the f****** whitesox?

Over/under 0.5 squeeze bunts in the Counsell era 

[PeanutPunch33]

Cade got away with one there 

[Derwood]

Cade giving them what they need and the offense is laying a giant turd. 

[Rcal10]

Well if there is a positive, Cade has looked very good. 

[gflore34]

Over under on the number of pitches it take to strike Busch out?  I'll say over 3.

[Derwood]

Cohen sucks so bad

[Rex Buckingham]

Civale coming out may save this game for us

[PeanutPunch33]

Civale was at 69 pitches and they took him out? I’ll take it

3rd time around the order, opportunity to put a lefty in there during a stretch of 3/4 left handed hitters

[Derwood]

lol

I expect they are trying to keep his numbers as good as they are to trade him.

He went through a slump earlier, this one seems longer, nearly a month?

[UMFan83]

At least we're not the Tigers, about to be 1-12 in their last 13

[PeanutPunch33]

I've heard chatter about the Cubs looking at 2 starters, like a big fish and then someone like Houser.  I think Cade's recent performance puts all that talk to rest.  Just get 1 big fish like Ryan and this rotation is really damn good when Taillon gets back

But how many innings are the Cubs going to let Horton go this season? 

[Neuby]

 Randal Grichuk to the Royals. Maybe they won't sell after all
