Pirates (Mlodzinski) vs Cubs (Assad): 8/17/25, 1:20pm

Assad's stuff looks really good today. But he's not commanding the fb in the zone and he isn't getting chase on his breaking stuff

I mean that wasn’t remotely close.  I don’t understand how an MLB ump can’t get that correct.

Yeah that was really bad. 

[Soul]

Assad just isn’t good today.  

[Derwood]

Lots of baserunners, but lots of LOB, which he somehow does well

[JHBulls]

Really positive signs from the offense lately. Just save some runs for tomorrow. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Sweet Jesus, it's Carmen horsefeathers Mdongzkiy or whatever the F.

[Derwood]

Warning track power

Wrigley wind takes another away. I hate our park right now.

The wind has been knocking horsefeathers down all day. The top of the order is still incapable of lifting the ball.

[BKHoo]

1 hit.   So.   Far.

Singles wind suppression

[Irrelevant Dude]

Can we get someone at NASA working on this Wrigley Field wind situation as a top priority?

[UMFan83]

FWIW the wind is still projected to be blowing out all day tomorrow. Then back to blowing in the rest of the homestand

It’s simple. We just take Wrigley Field and turn it the other way

Put home plate behind the 400 ft sign.

[JHBulls]

Everything is a conversation in this sport. Play ball, horsefeathers! 

[Derwood]

So is Assad no stretched out, or have they admitted that he's not an actual starting pitcher?

[JHBulls]

Matt Shaw saved Michael Busch there.

I was saying last season that I think Assad is best used as a reliever , maybe they'll be smart enough to do that next season 🤔

I think it was an easy catch to make. But happy to be proven wrong. 

[Soul]

It doesn’t look like this fellow throws strikes.  Stop swinging at his crap pitches.

[UMFan83]

Geez 25 feet taken off Dansby's hit?  From an easy home run to a flyout

[JBears79]

Why dont they just put like 1000 fans on top of the stadium behind home plate to counter act the wind? Is Tom Ricketts stupid
