Cubs (Taillon) vs Angels (Hendricks): 8/24/25, 3:07pm

[UMFan83]

Well here we go. I was hoping yesterday was a turning point and maybe it still is but the offense is still stuck in that 4 or less run scored vortex most of the time

[UMFan83]

Reds 3 outs from victory up 6-1 so Cubs lead will likely either remain at 8 or down to 7 depending on how this 9th goes

[Soul]

Bruxism time.

[Derwood]

Palenica can't be giving up 2 strike hits

[UMFan83]

Leadoff single...

[BigSlick]

Plz figure out a way to win it would be very nice for me

He seems to a lot but I'm too lazy to verify

[Hortonhearsawho]

97 is pretty low for Palencia maybe he might benefit from a couple days off too.

[Derwood]

He's Marmol'ing his way through this inning

Can we get a nice ground ball right at Dansby please.

[Soul]

Pressure rising.

 

[UMFan83]

You are killing me Palencia.  Not as sharp as he was earlier this year.

[BigSlick]

I don’t like this 

 

Palencia has been a bit wild and has been toying with blowing the lead several recent games, I would hate for things to collapse here 

[Soul]

He’s lost the handle

[Caesar]

97 and flat

[BigSlick]

This feels like a game they lose, especially because it’s a Sunday game-to-sweep game 

[chibears55]

Palencia blowing this one, he has zero control

[BigSlick]

Ok, Out 2 is huge 

 

just get this last guy my man pleaseeeeee

Got a gift with the Angels hitter swinging at a clear ball on 2-0. No idea why he wasn't taking there.

[chibears55]

Ok, let get this guy

[chibears55]

9 hitters don't beat us... 😏😏

[Soul]

[soccer10k]

There we go!

[UMFan83]
