Pirates (Ashcraft) vs Cubs (Rea): 8/15/25, 1:20pm

[Chicago Al]

There we go, a bunt and everyone’s safe.

[Andy]

The Cubs have the chance to do the funniest thing here

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Let's go. Come on you horsefeathers.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Going to be interesting to see how we choke this.

[UMFan83]

That's a costly mistake.  3 strikeouts?  or a home to 1st GIDP?

[WhyCantWeWin]

Bunting with a man on second is so horsefeathers stupid but with Dansby sucking as bad as he does, i welcome it

[We Got The Whole 9]

[We Got The Whole 9]

What’s wrong with the bunt with a runner on 2nd?

Counsell wouldn't allow it and told him to bunt and he got a single out of it. 5D chess by Craig.

No doubt, aided by the wind blowing out to left 

[We Got The Whole 9]

My god late on 94 right down the center of the plate

Go check Busch's numbers against leftys

It was the 6th inning , not the 8th or later in a tie game.

I bet Counsell wishes Bush was hitting now instead of Turner against this RHer 😒

[Derwood]

Might be seeing a lot of Caissie if PCA pulled a hammy

[abuck1220]

lol good thing counsell ph that 40 year old stiff for one of the cubs' best hitters in the 6th inning. 

[Andy]

I'm not reactionary Anti Turner Guy anymore, but why did he pinch-hit against a RHP?

NM I'm not paying enough attention, he pinch-hit earlier against a LHP

Edited August 15, 2025 by Andy

[UMFan83]

Bases loaded 0 outs and we score 1 run on a medium hit fly ball that if it wasn't PCA at 3rd might not have scored.

[Derwood]

Shocked, SHOCKED, that they only got one run after bases loaded, no outs

He PH for Bush to leadoff the 6th against a lefty, which was dumb

They pinch hit him last inning against a lefty.

He pinch hit against a Lefty inning before. Which led to this.

Shaw should have sent that horsefeathers meatball onto Waveland. It was 95 right down the pipe.

It’s obviously a disease process to be a fan of this team.  Because no sane person would subject themselves to this pile of turds on purpose.
