Cubs (Assad) vs Rays (Rasmussen): 4/7/26, 5:40pm

[Irrelevant Dude]

I tried to turn the game on the radio on my way home tonight and they had the Bulls game on 670 instead.

I found the Cubs game on 104.3 FM only, which is mostly just static.  Are they really going to preempt Cubs broadcasts on their high-powered AM station for Bulls games that nobody wants to listen to?

Nice to see Shaw get going.

Get a couple runs here, they could get another inning out of Assad

[chibears55]

Don't blow this bullpen 

[Rex Buckingham]

Great effort by Assad

[Bull]

Assad looked good. Let's hope he continues to beat his FIP. They need him to be a dude.

PCA a no doubter

That’s MAGIC 104.3!

Jobu is pleased. Bats are awake.

Jobu wanted Cade 

[Derwood]

Busch didn't eat his Wheaties this morning

[chibears55]

Busch probably had about 1900 feet of distance in his 5 outs 😅

dear lord Maton is straight ass

[PeanutPunch33]

Assad has always been pretty good, no idea why he's always rotting in the minor leagues and Ben Brown gets featured 

[Papa Cub]

Phil - cmon man 

[Irrelevant Dude]

This guy's a bum.

[Tryptamine]

Maton has been immensely disappointing so far

[chibears55]

Did Hoyer really give this guy a 3 yr deal

 

[JHBulls]

You might want to do a bit more than only checking on your pitcher, CC.

Can't judge anything based on a week or 2.  Also can't judge much from last year given he was only 22 and had only around a month of PA in the minors

Cam Smith has always been a really good prospect and athlete.  I think the trade was stupid regardless of how he turns out.

Exactly how I feel.  No doubt in my mind that trade only happened because some guys in the Cubs FO were fighting to save their jobs going into last season.

[chibears55]

I can see a phantom injury in Maton near future for an IL stint

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

finally threw a good curve ball

FIP

Maton looks like he was about to cry on the mound. 

[mk49]

I don't like his face on the mound.  He looks super serious and nervous.
