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

[UMFan83]

This would be the 4th series loss in a row and 6 of our past 8 series. But hey we haven’t gotten swept yet

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

What an absolute joke.

[chibears55]

I swear, the last few weeks it feels like im watching September baseball with this team eliminated from the playoffs and everyone is just going through the motions waiting for the season to end.

Time to stop worrying about what the Brewers are doing as far as cubs go, just need to hope the Cubs can figure it out over the final 30-40 games and get positive momentum heading into the playoffs. 

 

I hear you. I feel like since we’re playing a big series against them starting tomorrow. It matters a little bit more.

Ben Brown getting important innings is not serious baseball

[DrCub]

Just tuned in.  Two hits?  Are you ******* serious?

He’s a AAAA player. Stuff too good for Iowa. Doesn’t know how to use it in the majors.

[UMFan83]

Sad that I saw Tucker leading off and thought “damn that sucks” and sure enough he weakly grounded out

[nihilist]

Reds are about to break brewers streak, tied up. I think it's important because cubs could get swept if they are still on this tear

Is Tucker's transformation into Jason Heyward complete?

[JBears79]

Its pretty impressive just how bad Kyle Tucker is. Cant believe he was being talked about as a 500 million dollar bat. No wonder Houston traded him. This guy does not perform under pressure and is mentally weak

[Papa Cub]

Okay - I’ve seen enough - this team flat out sucks!

Win, lose, or whatever……I get no enjoyment from watching this team. A bunch of lifeless, below average coaching and ball players. Don’t tell me about their record or where they sit currently in those standings. This team is straight garbage. At least football season is here because this team has ruined baseball for me. With this ignorant and incompetent manager, this team will continue to be straight garbage. 

[UMFan83]

Tucker 2 for his last 21

[BigSlick]

At the very least, the Brewers now have to deal with the reality that anything short of a World Series win is a profound disappointment because you can’t squander the insane good fortune they’ve had

Yes, football season. That will surely make things better

Lmao..

Leave runner stranded on 3B less then 2 outs, and of course Pirates come up and take the lead afterwards. 

 

That at bat by Matt was pathetic. 

[Derwood]

Reds have bases loaded with 2 outs in bottom of 9th

[JBears79]

Runner on 3rd. 2 strikeouts incoming

and.....they pop out to SS to go to extras. Surely no shenanigans will happen now!

[chibears55]

If Counsell had any coglioni, he would just bench guys for a couple games and just play Castro Caissie and Turner

They will win in some bizarre fashion that’s never happened in baseball history before, and you know it

4 straight balks or something

[BigSlick]

Is Kelly Back???

[UMFan83]

Well that's one way to get the job done.  I thought PCA might try to score there lol

[nihilist]

That's a super bloop
