Pirates (Chandler) vs Cubs (Taillon): 4/12/26, 1:20pm

[Brandon Glick]

I saw the Super Mario Galaxy movie yesterday with a cousin during the game, and despite the... questionable quality of the film, it appears I made the right call. Perhaps another cousin will request a celebration of Shrek's 25th anniversary to protect me from an impending sweep...

Taillon on the bump to avoid a sweep, what could go wrong?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Predicting Chandler throws 5 hitless innings with 6 walks 

[Jason Ross]

Harvey to the IL. Cubs recall...uh...Charlie Barnes. As someone who knows a pretty fair deal about the Cubs, I had no idea who the horsefeathers Charles Barnes was,

Taillon and a tired bullpen 🤦🤦🤦

Cool story for Charlie Barnes getting back to MLB after fours years in Korea.  Expected to see him this year just not in April. Pitching depth is getting bleaker by the day.

This just keeps getting better and better . Charlie Barnes ? Really ? Taillon pitching with the wind blowing straight out at 20 miles . What could go wrong ?

 

Regardless of how things are going so far , I have to say long term concerns are on my mind right now about the Cubs in this division .
 

Some pretty strong minor league systems in it , while the Cubs seem to be going in the wrong direction with theirs .  

Let’s hope they decide to throw big money at FA every offseason , because that’s the only advantage they have .

Cool story?  We don’t need no stinkin’ cool stories.

Matt Shaw's bad play at 1st rewarded with a defensive start at 1st today

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

could not be more predictable

[javy knows my name]

Which Pirates WON'T homer under these conditions today? 

[JHBulls]

When you expect something bad to happen, you can’t be disappointed. 

[mk49]

Ouch.

I was 2 minutes late getting the game on. Fun times.

Also, the radio feed overlay isn't working on MLB TV so I'm stuck with Cohen

it never works, it's always out of sync

I would take out of sync, that's how much I dislike Cohen, but at the moment the radio overlay is playing the Spanish radio broadcast while the Spanish broadcast option plays the Cohen cast

[Derwood]

Cohen was chill (for him) in that first inning. Maybe someone told him to stop being such a tryhard 

[Andy]

Nothing more fun than when opponent fly balls carry out and the Cubs don't

[JHBulls]

Of course a long out to the warning track in our half of the first inning. The Cubs must be the only team in Baseball where the wind at home helps the opposition more lol. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Are they really not gonna challenge a pitch that walks in a run

[JHBulls]

ABS is such a cool new system. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Ok they challenged. 

 

I'm horsefeathers done though.
