Cubs (Imanaga) vs Dodgers (Wrobleski): 4/26/26, 3:10pm

[UMFan83]

I'll accept 1 of 3 in LA, but it sucks how vastly we were outplayed most of the series.  If Pages doesn't misplay that flyball on Friday we might be in a different position.

But ultimately its just 3 games out of 162 with a really beat up pitching staff so if we don't come back today take the win and go to SD and try to win a series.

Well, this has turned into a crappy day and now I am constipated after 2 and a half hours of Rick Sutcliffe.

1 of 3 in LA, hopefully they can get 2 in SD and finish the trip 500 before returning home

Yep, win the SD series and it is a great road trip. Tough to play these two teams out West.

just one of those guys with a great arm that's never been able to throw strikes.

The new guy, Rios threw 10 strikes out of 13 pitches.  Let him pitch one more inning.😁

[UMFan83]

12 baserunners and 0 runs scored is kind of annoying, albeit only 4 reached via a hit and none since the 4th

[chibears55]

0 for 20. Yikes

If Hottovy fixes him he could def stick

Yeah, I hope he will.  We could always use a decent pitcher.

And not even against their better pitchers.  Not a great showing.

Not against our better pitches either outside of Shota.  Of course the rest of ours are on the IL.

Cabrera at this point I’d say 🤷‍♂️

[NorthsideAvenger]

Cubs last day off was the 16th, I believe. I'm chalking up the last two games as the Cubs being tired. Cubs next day off is Thursday I believe. If the Cubs can get one in S.D. I will be ok with a 2-4 trip.

We don't have a true ace, but I would say Shota is still our ace.
