Hahahaha

came one click away from buying a ticket to the game - looks like I made the right call

[Andy]

Gonna be a fun year. Wind blows out, other team homers and we don't, wind blows in, we either blister the ball into gloves all day long or just suck butt at the plate

[Jason Ross]

Mowing the lawn took a bit longer than expected. Turned the game on to check the score. Turned the game right off. 

That's enough baseball for me today. 

[JHBulls]

Boog: “Taillon strikes out a trio.”

Of all the things to say lol. 

[Hortonhearsawho]

So are we taking a bat with our top ten pick?

[Geographyhater8888]

Taillon throws the most perfectly located slider to punch out Cruz and the next pitch is a fastball right down the middle. horsefeathers this.

Using my keen baseball intellect, I am forming the opinion that the Pirates are, currently, a bit better than the Cubs.

They sound the same at times.

Sure, right now, however, the Pirates lineup is still awful and will regress.  As will the Cubs, just going to take a while.

[Eeyore]

Are the Cubs capable of executing a sacrifice fly?

[gflore34]

100 EV for Suzuki and, of course, it's an out.  If Pirate had it that ball, it's probably a HR.

also one of their starters is guaranteed to have a blown up elbow the way they throw

they are capable of literally nothing right now

[Derwood]

Wind blowing out and just popping the ball up 250 feet. Cool cool cool

[We Got The Whole 9]

Anything up and in and we pop it up

[UMFan83]

Ok this is turning into fun bad

[JHBulls]

Death, taxes and players turning crappy for a stretch after receiving a big contract. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Nice clutch hitting guys. Nice pop ups. Thought they got them out of their system in the 11th inning but obviously not. 

[CUBDOM4life]

Another pop up. This weekend has been painful. At least we’re getting our rock bottom out of the way for 2026
