Cubs (Imanaga) vs Brewers (Ashby): 10/6/25, 8:08pm

[ILMindState]

No horsefeathers way

[Cubbies1996]

lol what a joke man. 

[Connor McConnor]

I think some of us could hit Shota at this point.  It just rolls right on up there. 

[Geographyhater8888]

I hate that Vaughn piece of sh t. 

[soccer10k]

Shota over 1.5 runs allowed and over 2.5 runs allowed was such easy money.

[BigSlick]

Ok. I think thats the nail in the coffin - the Cubs aren't gonna win this series. Its written in the stars: We're not allowed anything nice. The second something good happens to us they respond IMMEDIATELY. We aren't allowed even a half inning of peace. That's a bad sign. Brewers get to be the team of destiny, thats fine. They've certainly deserved it for a while. 

[chibears55]

Lmao...

Why not clinching sooner hurts, couldn't get these starters any rest at the end.

 

[s2obed]

Trash 🗑️ 

[Gjfificifjdej]

Don’t worry guys he’s just a fly ball pitcher, some stat you’ve never heard of will blame him being completely awful on luck or something like that 

[Soul]

No one can explain how Vaughn goes from horrible to “major acquisition“ literally on the bus ride up I94

[SpongeWorthy]

what was the EV on that homer

[Jason Ross]

I mean, credit to Vaughn. Shota didn't want it there, but that pitch is inside and off the plate. That's not where you'd typically see a home run hit from. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

That goofy horsefeathers reminded me of Frank Schwindel in his reaction to hitting a homer.

Shota threw last week on 6 days rest and is throwing today on normal rest.

[cl smooth]

Still love Shota Imanaga!

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm not even mad at Shota.  Two dink hits followed by the one home run.

I'm more pissed about Andrew Vaughn somehow becoming a superstar player.

[DrCub]

I can’t wait to see what load of second and third tier starters Jed gives us this offseason.

That wouldn’t have mattered. Boyd and Shota are cooked at this point.

109

I can't believe the home run.  I wanted a splitter there.  A bad pitch selection and location.  At least, all the hits, including the home run was super hard hit.

seriously sounded like a broken bat on the PA at the bar I’m at

[Stratos]

Did Busch play the field?

[Papa Cub]

What a damn joke Shota is - well, at least I won a bet out of the deal (first run homer) - it’s like taking candy from a baby with that joke of a pitcher.

They just don’t have the pitching to keep up with the Brewers.

Yeah shota had established the inside corner already in that inning not nearly enough of the splitter away
