Cubs (Rea) vs Reds (Greene): 9/18/25, 6:15pm

[Ding Dong Johnson]

We’d have 1 hit if Mo Baller wasn’t too fat to duck.

[mk49]

Wow, Rea is impressive today.  The best I've ever seen.

[chibears55]

Looking to be just a 2 hour game if it stays on this pace.

[mk49]

Mo is still in the game.  

[mk49]

Seiya, the Greene killer!

[Rex Buckingham]

I know he's actually hitting the edges of the zone... but it feels like he's getting every borderline call and its annoying, even if they're correct calls

[mk49]

I don't even remember when the last time Seiya hit a double.

Mo's last one was a ball for sure.  And, yes, there were at least a few like that.

[UMFan83]

No no no

Satisfied but then again the Brewers are currently losing and it would be nice to put some doubt on their heads

The instant bailout, lol

[mk49]

I just felt sad, because I felt really happy to see the first hit, and it was by Seiya.  We really need him to start hitting more.  

[Derwood]

We're about to waste Rea's best start of the season, aren't we

Just about, but we don't know yet.

[mk49]

11 K!  Pretty crazy.  We're still in the game, just because of Rea.  I never expected to see him pitch like this.

Rea pitched like ass in plenty of wins, I'm sure. Baseball.

[chibears55]

When was last time cub starter had double digit Ks

Let get some runs already

Maybe, by Shota last year?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

“Was it bad pitching or superstitions that got you?” That was a good one by AJ

[Derwood]

AJ weirdly looks just like Ian Happ

[gflore34]

Greene pitching quite the game, too bad for the Reds that it's probably not going to mean squat.  So sad, well, not really.

[mk49]

I guess Craig is testing Soroka, and hoping he will finish the game.

Given the way it started with him, it be something if ended up being a decent contributor after all.

That's funny because we were at Buffalo Wild Wings when the pregame was on TV and I thought "Why the hell is Ian Happ in the booth"?  Granted, my eyes aren't what they used to be.

[chibears55]

Who knocking Greene out with a HR

😏😏

[Cubbies1996]

Some of these check swing calls are highly questionable
