really don't love the reach there by Tucker, his eye at the plate is about all he has going for him right now.

essentially icing PCA here, needs to make sure at least one gets in during his PA

It was so far out of the zone like what the helly

[Jason Ross]

Got one.

[chibears55]

How many times have we seen 2 guys on and no outs with Tucker Zuki and PCA due up in the last couple weeks and got nothing? 

Something good gotta happen once soon

[profisme]

Got us on the board and just missed a big fly.

[s2obed]

Well that was quick. 

[UMFan83]

nevermind I just assumed they would bring in a lefty for PCA

[Cubbies1996]

Stupid wind. So tired of this 😂😂

JD is covering it now, but Ashby is unavailable and Koenig has pitched two of the last three, and I've yet to see them go 3 in 4 this week, so they might not have it as an option.

Stupid heart of the lineup ya mean? It ain’t the wind lol. 

[chibears55]

2 on for the 2-5 hitters and get a weak grounder walk and 2 flyballs 🙄🙄🙄

At least they got 1 run

eh....blowing the opposite way, hard, maybe, but just 91.7 off the bat, and you could tell Happ knew he missed it

PCAs sac fly was 96.4 off the bat and Happ 91.7…  compare that Turang’s homer of 108.2. Not the wind

[BigSlick]

on the other hand, Imanaga has really settled down and is cruising now 

[We Got The Whole 9]

PCAs launch angle was 48 on that one 

[Tryptamine]

Can they just put up 12 runs in a game so for at least one day I can feel better about offense?

[Cubbies1996]

God I hope they DFA McGuire when Amaya comes back this time. He’s useless now 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Man some of these chases 

[UMFan83]

Remember when Reese McGuire hit 2 HRs in his first game with the Cubs?

Knowing this team, it'll be 12 in a day followed by a week where they only score 4.

[Tryptamine]

9 baserunners today and 1 run, that's suboptimal.

That’s what happens when you sit your hottest bat

[abuck1220]

guy with an 88% sb success rate singles to start the inning and never tries to steal against the sidearm-y righty pitcher. come on.
