Nationals (Lord) vs Cubs (Boyd): 9/6/25, 1:20pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

[Bertz]

Wind's blowing out to RF again, though not quite as hard as yesterday.

Between the wind favoring having a lefty on the mound, the Nationals being horsefeathers against LHP, and the general gap between Boyd & Lord, this is about as lopsided a matchup as we could ask for.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Lord heavily relies on the 4-seamer, could be a good matchup.

[17 Seconds]

give me the blood, lord

I feel we, as Cub fans, say something similar several times each week.

[UMFan83]

1 pitch, RISP

[UMFan83]

2 pitches and 2 runners on

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Uhh...?

[UMFan83]

3 pitches, 3 hits and a run 

[mk49]

3 pitches, 3 hits.  

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

That was bizarre.

[UMFan83]

horsefeathers being shelled

[Eeyore]

At least they held it to one run

[Eeyore]

I blame myself for the run. I was watching some bad football games .

[We Got The Whole 9]

Nats had a pretty clear plan of attack. Lets see how we adjust.

[Eeyore]

I like that Busch saw a lot of pitches

[UMFan83]

They move everyone else down in the lineup but Seiya hasn’t hit in 10 weeks and he’s still 3rd every game

last 42 games:

188

.328

.243

.571

Nats exit velos today 

[Andy]

I have no idea how that pickoff wasn't a balk, but I'm not complaining

Is he still number 1 in RBIs? 

[UMFan83]

When the Cubs aggressively go after the first pitch as a strategy they have like 1 hit in the 4th inning and the pitcher is at 35 pitches. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

All but 1 first pitch strike has been smacked for a hit

[BKHoo]

Boyd isn’t fooling anyone today. He has been giving up a lot lately.  7 hits already. 

[chibears55]

Nats gonna add 1 here and there for 4 runs today and the cubs are going to struggle aren't they.... 

Watch Tucker get put on IL Monday🙄

[Derwood]

Another "pitcher who doesn't strike anyone out" out here like '98 Kerry Wood
