Diamondbacks (Gallen) vs Cubs (Rea): 5/1/26, 1:20pm

[Brandon Glick]

Former almost-a-Cub Zac Gallen is pitching well this year. Hopefully the real Cubs can get to him.

Gallen's ERA is good but his underlying numbers are not.  1.36 WHIP.  Hard hit rate is pretty high.  He's a candidate for regression - hope it starts today.  Weather may help him though.

Gallen's xERA is 4.95.  Maybe, the wind will help him today, but the Cubs should be able to score some runs.

Boog and JD

Somebody post the GIF of Vargas changing gears between home and 1B.

[chopsx9]

I'm stunned - but thankful - that Bregman beat that out.

[PeanutPunch33]

LOL 

[JHBulls]

No wonder the Brewers scored 28 runs in a three game series against the D’Backs lol. 

[chibears55]

That was a fun bottom half, Busch with a big single 

[PeanutPunch33]

Nico left the game, wtf 

[JHBulls]

Which Baseball God did they piss off this year? 

[Jason Ross]

Here's to hoping it's another case of the butt cramps...

Of course that happens right when I'm implicitly questioning whether Pedro Ramirez would ever get called up with the Cubs over in the Minors forum.

[Geographyhater8888]

Now it’s Nico. What a horsefeathers joke.

"Left side neck tightness". 

I'll take it. That doesn't seem the worst.

Admit it, you're internally debating whether the better callup would be Triantos, Ramirez, or Rojas if Nico needs some time off, and it's an oddly entertaining internal debate to have.

Taylor really enjoyed saying that one.

One of my favorite things is that my work filter blocks gifs from time to time (when our school filter is working an when it is not is a random number generator it seems), and when I look at these on my computer I just get the description and I get to wonder "Man, I wonder what Squally sent". Then I get to check my phone, which is on my network to see what it really is.

"A Man in a Suit and tie is talking to another man in an office" is this one.

Busch needs to pull more fly balls. Hitting em harder, but to CF
