Mets (McLean) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 9/25/25, 6:40pm

[JHBulls]

Juan Soto comfortably has the most punchable face in baseball.

[UMFan83]

Shaw, still reeling from his podcast buddy’s death, gets in Dansby’s way, causing him to fall into the stands and give the Mets a run

[javy knows my name]

horsefeathers Shaw

[UMFan83]

Shota looks ready for the Game 1 start lmao

ERA over his last 6 starts: 5.10

At the point of being more comfortable with Rea pitching than Shota

[javy knows my name]

Didn't need to lose our challenge over that.

Shota in the first inning, man 

[Brian707]

Shaw horsefeathered that inning up. Thanks

I counter with "every Cardinal"

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was honestly one of the dumbest uses of a challenge I can think of. Preposterous.

[JHBulls]

Yep, the challenge was stupid. And I am also not fond of the whole SS is the captain of the infield thing, especially when the baseball is going to easily be caught by the 3rd baseman. I don’t blame Matt Shaw. Dansby should have seen Matt was going to catch it and slowed up.

It’s Dansby’s ball. It is always Dansby’s ball. Shaw should have gotten the hell out of the way. Doesn’t matter if you like it or not, that is how the Cubs have done it for years. A rookie isn’t going to change their mind.

Thats fine. It’s a loud stadium and I am sure that Shaw couldn’t hear Dansby. Just a very awkward position to be in. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Yeah, they have no chance against McClean. Maybe his back will get sore 

[CubinNY]

Damn it. They win one and I tune in and this turd burger happens

[Cubbies1996]

Yeah they can’t use Shota in the wild card round. Just can’t 

[javy knows my name]

This is just the Mets playing better than us.

And Jesus foresaking Shaw briefly on a popup

[JHBulls]

What a catch. Wow.

He looks dead tired. No jump or hop, just....flat. Nothing new but still sucks to see.

Long relief maybe

[DrCub]

Playoffs?? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[BKHoo]

Imanaga not looking good. . 

[Cubbies1996]

Once again this club knows how to erase all good momentum in an instant. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

He is terrible right now. Nothing in his repertoire is working.

[Geographyhater8888]

Lol That Baty horsefeathers face again. If there’s a game 3, Shota with his 31 home runs allowed in 141 innings will have to bail us out if Horton is healthy enough to even pitch.

This team looks really bad , really bad . There  is not one area that makes me feel optimistic about them .
