Cubs (Taillon) vs Reds (Abbott): 9/21/25, 12:40pm

[Brandon Glick]

It probably doesn't "matter", but it'd be nice not to get swept by the Reds...

[Neuby]

No Mo in the lineup.

[PackLandVA]

And no O in the lineup either.

[Stratos]

I refuse to watch these games out of respect for myself.

Good idea. Don’t watch the games in the best year the cubs have had since 2018.👍

[gflore34]

Tigers down 3-0 after five, they've had two base runners on in every inning.  Think, at least, twice with 0 outs, just can't buy a big hit.

I did the that in 2016 when the division was clinched in the middle of September. But these days I feel like it’s a waste of money, as I’ve paid for MLB.TV, if I don’t watch as many games as possible. So I am watching horsefeathers Baseball. 
Do I hate myself? Probably. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

I was originally surprised at no Shaw vs a lefty, then I realized he's probably attending a funeral 

[JHBulls]

A week left of Boog and JD and then we get national broadcasters every night. That makes me sad. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Pat sounds disgusted, lol

[mk49]

Santana finally hit.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Getting absolutely embarrassed with RISP this series 

[chibears55]

Missed both Friday and Saturday game plus the first 4 of this one but im watching now, so it time to score a few.

[Derwood]

Seiya is one off from his career high in K's

I watched them when they were good, which was before the summer.  It was awesome.  I also watched them when they were average since then.

I'll let them heal and rest up and do their post-clinch thing in prep for the playoffs.

[chibears55]

Cubs went into shutdown mode after clinching a playoff spot. They acting like they dont need to carry any momentum into the playoffs 

[Cubbies1996]

This team is so unserious. Terrible to watch. 

[Hortonhearsawho]

This is what we have to look forward to in the 2 playoff games that we will be participating in I see.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Boy, that Great American Ballpark. The ball really carries there.

[UMFan83]

I’m sure this will be the year I win the Cubs playoff lottery and they’ll end up playing in SD

Yea, I have a bad feeling theyre gonna get shut out in both games

[Derwood]

Losing 1-0 twice would be rather Pirates-esque (I type as the pirates put a 10 spot on the A's)

[cubfansince77]

Team looks disinterested and flat. Completely outplayed for a likely 4 game sweep at the hands of the mighty Reds. Not playoff ready it would appear.

[Derwood]

So

many

popups

Was gonna say, this game might be the record for weakly hit fly-balls and pop-ups.
