Cubs (Taillon) vs Pirates (Ashcraft): 9/15/25, 5:40pm

[mk49]

Nico's BA is .300 now.  

[chibears55]

Busch demolished one..

Too bad Shaw got caught stealing  up one..

 

Nico going for that batting title, I think hes just 5 points behind Turner now

[chibears55]

Love it, let get another one home now

And his OPS is about to pass PCA’s. At one point in June they were 375 points different. 

[mk49]

PCA has been the worst hitter for a while.

I haven't paid attention. With the passing of Cassie, did the cubs call up an outfielder or are they going to keep playing infielders in the outfield?

Surely I am not the only person who googled Owen Cassie and now relieved that he’s still alive.

Pete got a hit?

[mk49]

Pete got an extra hit + stole the 3rd base.

So Busch pulls into the team lead with 28 HR tied with PCA and 1 ahead of Seiya. Will any of them get to 30?  Seemed destined to have 3-4 hit 30 at one point. 

[mk49]

The Cubs offense looking good, against a pretty good pitcher.  

[JHBulls]

JD looks like he’s dying inside slowly lol.

I think Buschy has the best chance.  We were pretty sure both Seiya and PCA would hit over 30 two months ago, though.

Am I the only one who thinks Boog sounds creepy anytime he talks to MacGregor?

30? I was hoping for 40

I said OVER 30, which includes 40.😁

[BKHoo]

I realize it’s the Pirates but Jameson looks great so far. 

[BKHoo]

PCA!! PCA!!

[JHBulls]

PCA destroyed that. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Please get 30/30

[Ding Dong Johnson]

This would be a great part of the season for Pete to start hitting like first half Pete. Maybe the days off will get Seiya there too.

[chibears55]

PCA !!!

He really needed that one, i really didn't want to see him pressing the final week trying to get 2 for 30.

Hopefully he'll relax a bit and hits starts coming for him along with number 30 now.

No, he is very creepy with her and creepy overall. 

I was never a Boog fan even before he came to the Cubs, he just irritates me.

PCA and Suzuki were headed to 40 plus at one point and then they both died heading into July 🤦‍♂️

[muntjack]

It's funny thinking how well PCA hit that ball, seemingly with all he had.  Then comparing it to what Schwarber did in the wild card game.  Miss that guy.
