Cubs (Horton) vs Pirates (Skenes): 9/16/25, 5:40pm

[We Got The Whole 9]

Cade in a bit of a Jimmy 

[JHBulls]

Jake Arrieta was so dominant in 2015.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hell yeah Cade

[JHBulls]

Cade, you sir, are such a good pitcher!.

[JHBulls]

Knocking Skenes out of any game in the fourth inning is a hell of an effort. 

[Derwood]

This pleases me. Don't fart this up

10 baserunners against 11 outs against Skenes, I’m good pretty much regardless 

[JHBulls]

On the subject of 2015, I can’t help feel that NLCS was a missed opportunity. The season series was won by the Cubs 7-0. Confidence was definitely incredibly high. 😞

[BKHoo]

Great job on the sac and move up by PCA!

[chibears55]

Good to see cubs hitters doing the little things to score runs 

[PackLandVA]

Hurray small ball.

[Eeyore]

Swanson hasn't done anything all day

That was part of the reason the first two months the offense was amazing.  Now if they could find their dongs more often they could make a deep run

Lol

[BKHoo]

Cade !!  You rock. 
 

5 innings 79 pitches. I’d say pull him. 

[DYMNO]

Have a night, Busch!

[Derwood]

Busch is enjoying extended batting practice tonight

[BKHoo]

Can we please blow a game open?

 

Ugh Ballesteros that was turrible.  

[sweetpeteman]

Terrible ab from Moises. Young player trying to do too much.

[JHBulls]

The 3 ball strikeout is always a fun AB for the pitcher. 

[BKHoo]

How many LOB is that?! 
 

 

[UMFan83]

There seems to be this invisible barrier the Cubs have at 4 runs that won’t let them score anymore. Once a week they are given permission to cross that threshold 

[JHBulls]

So dumb. 2nd and 3rd, no outs. And they don’t score at all. 

[Derwood]

The Pirates broadcast hasn't shown this entire at bat because their version of T-Mac is walking around showing all the dogs at Pup Night

That's what I was thinking, too.  It's like 10 or 11 LOB in 6 innings today.
