Cubs (Brown) vs Blue Jays (Berrios): 8/12/25, 6:07pm

[Hot Sauce]

C’mon Pete, be Pete Crow-All-Star again.

[UMFan83]

PCA is struggling so badly that teams are repeatedly pitching around CARSON KELLY to face him

[Max Power]

Some horrendous ABs that inning 

[UMFan83]

5 balls and 1 strike in that strikeout by PCA

[Wilson A2000]

PCA is completely lost

[PackLandVA]

Really tired of Pete throwing his helmet and bat.

[Irrelevant Dude]

This lineup is like swiss cheese.

[Derwood]

PCA has the Javy Baez pitch recognition right now. All you have to do is pitch it in the dirt or head-high and he'll swing

[Wilson A2000]

There have been very few who have had the plate discipline that Pete has shown and been able to have sustained success

I feel for PCA.  He tasted superstardom for 2 months.   Who knows what the future will bring.   

It’s a strange thing to me.  PCA’s hitting was already known by the league.  It’s not like he was fresh up from Iowa and nobody knew his weaknesses.  For about 2 months he managed to overcome them.

Yep, he may never see a 2 month streak like that again if he doesn't get some discipline.  He's young though.

Why would you ever throw him a strike? He’s had two walks since the All Star break.

What can be done with him coaching-wise?

Put him in live batting practice and shock his balls every time he swings at a ball

I’m no masochist, but watching that seems more entertaining than whatever has been on display on the field the last 6 or 7 weeks. 
 

edit: I also realize that continuing to watch this team *may* make me a masochist.

horsefeathers Brewers are horsefeathers.  Good horsefeathers grief.  

[We Got The Whole 9]

How the horsefeathers do you take that pitch on 0-2. This offense is absolutely horrible right now.

[Derwood]

Hoerner hits rockets, right at people. Vladdy hits rockets and all find holes

[Derwood]

Teams know that walks won't hurt them. Cubs with 7 walks, 4 hits, but 10 LOB. Jays with 2 walks and 10 hits.

[Andy]

We should really thank the Brewers. If they hadn't gone supernova and we were only down 2-3 games instead of about to be 7.5, we'd all still be talking ourselves into this team

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I actually would rather see Caissie in RF to start next year than Tucker. Make the QO and get the draft pick when he signs elsewhere.

Caissie might not start the year in RF cause Jed will likely sign someone like Tommy Pham on a 2 year deal to hold down RF til May when they bring Caissie up.

I already have my way way too early vision on what next year roster will likely look like.

[Hot Sauce]

Ballgame.

Send him to winterball as punishment 🤷‍♂️

The game was over in the first inning after the Kirk single. This teams only chance at winning is to pitch a shutout and get it to extras with a ghost runner and bunt twice.
