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

Okay. Maybe saying Brown sucks gives him strength. Another K please. 

[Soul]

AAAA ump doesn’t help with Ben’s AAAA stuff.

[BigSlick]

You know I realized that the only pitcher on the Cubs roster I actually hate and dread seeing in a game is Ben Brown, which is a rare compliment to the Cubs

[squally1313]

Get the strategy with the DH tomorrow. All these close games is not ideal. Hopefully we get out of this and scratch one for palencia to wrap up 

[Soul]

There he goes.  I guess Counsell needed someone to eat innings no matter what

[UMFan83]

wow that dude sucks haha

[squally1313]

Good horsefeathers Caleb, let’s go get two. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I'm tired, boss.

It should not be this hard to beat a last place team at home lol

[UMFan83]

at least PCA is looking much more competent out there

Exactly, these 3 games should of been all easily won 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

The 2-0 pop ups are unreal 

[UMFan83]

OF COURSE its a rare ground rule double to prevent the go ahead run from scoring.  horsefeathers hell.

Cmon Nico

edit: I mean Dansby...smart move Pirates

horsefeathers that’s unlucky 

[squally1313]

Anyways bench him for Caissie 

[Eeyore]

You don't see that at Wrigley very often 

[We Got The Whole 9]

I think we are 0 for our last 30 with the bases loaded can we please end that crap.

He’s clearly out of his hitting slump. Would be cool if everyone else joined him!

[chibears55]

Swanson gets another chance

[Andy]

Oh boy, ground rule double costs Cubs a run and we all know where this is going

[Hot Sauce]

Dansby is gonna get it done here. I feel it.

[BigSlick]

Dansby isn’t as generationally awful as he once was with RISP, but do you know what would make me stop ragging on him for it? If he got a hit or even a grandy here. I’ll forget everything buddy 

[BigSlick]

Alright well. Fine. 

[chibears55]

It was productive and they have the lead

[UMFan83]

I thought for sure when he got to 2 strikes he was either striking out or rolling over on a grounder
