Cubs (Boyd) vs Brewers (Misiorowski): 7/28/25, 6:40pm

[Derwood]

Oof, Happ

[DYMNO]

I’m well over Ian Happ. WELL over.

[UMFan83]

Brewers just trying to get Misiorowski to the top of the order again so they can stack lefties against our lefty dominant top of the order the rest of the game

[Geographyhater8888]

Meanwhile the lineup can barely make contact off of this guy. Hopefully this his last inning, cubs can’t touch him if he throws strikes.

I mean look at where they rank on fangraphs. Its not a very good rotation. They dont strike guys out and they arent very good at getting ground balls. Boyd and Imanaga are ok pitchers, Taillon is guarenteed to give up a minimum 4 runs per start when healthy and the rest of the rotation is questionable. Horton has looked better though

It…might be

He looked out at full speed

[DYMNO]

Out.

[DYMNO]

Sun Tzu tells me this game was over before it started. I say the Cubs prove him right…and get a W.

[Chicago Al]

Hope this momentum shifts to the Cubs, the Brewers fans are just irritating.

Really don't think sticking with Boyd is a smart call here.

It isn’t. Counsell has left his guys hanging out to dry far too much lately. 

[Wilson A2000]

Suarez hit in the hand (third time in a month?) and was removed from the game

[muntjack]

Misiorowski is out, let's go.

Guessing a lefty to neutralize Busch and Tucker and if we’re so lucky PCA

edit: yep. They have 3 lefties ready to take our big guys out 3 more times in this game. And the one righty in that section is 2 for his last 30

Imanaga is Imanaga, youll get alot of really good starts from him and a blowup here and there.

Boyd in his 11th season is having a career year and obviously is questionable on how much longer he can continue, hopefully it the whole year.

Rea has had some good starts but not someone you wanna hang your hat on as a starter. 

Taillon career has been good in even years and bad in odd ones, so it not surprise this season hasn't been great with him.

Then there's the young guys

 

So yea,  theyre not a good staff on paper, they have had lots of good starts and held their own to help get the team where theyre at but without adding someone who can be that game changer in the rotation, not sure how deep this rotation of guys can get them in the postseason.

[UMFan83]

Ok, 0-2 solid single against a good lefty is pretty impressive

[PeanutPunch33]

What the horsefeathers is Tucker doing lately

They have pitching up the wazoo, if we’re gonna beat them it has to be quality ABs

[Geographyhater8888]

Thata boy Tuck.

[chibears55]

Tucker Happ Zuki, gonna need these guys to start producing 

[UMFan83]

PCA needs to have one of those random home runs off a lefty

[Irrelevant Dude]

Clearly he had no intention of facing Seiya with PCA on deck.
