Reds (Singer) vs Cubs (Rea): 5/6/26, 6:40pm

[chibears55]

Gonna need to bring up a fresh arm or two for tomorrow, Martin definitely needs to go, maybe Maton too.

[chopsx9]

One by product of this win is that I hope this helps cement in PCAs mind that he doesn't need to pull everything.

[Bertz]

lol

lmao

[UMFan83]

The PCA HR was a HR in exactly one major league ballpark 😂

[Soul]

Really can’t believe this team right now, LOL.  Relish it.

will boldly predict the cubs won’t release the guy they signed to a 2/$14 mil contract that actually looked good tonight

I had to do some research.  Here's what I found.

Three consecutive walk-off wins in MLB is extremely rare, marking a historic event when it occurs.  In 151 seasons of Cubs history, for instance, they have only achieved three straight walk-offs against the same team once (May 2026).

If we don't win tomorrow, it's a shame.😄

What are you talking about? Maton isn’t going anywhere.

Put him on IL then 🤷😅

Having both a 10-game and 8-game winning streak before May 7 was not on my bingo card this year

Why? He has been fine since coming off the IL. He is a main part of the pen. Stop with silly hot takes based on 4 appearances.

BTW, happy Kerry Wood game day to all who celebrate:

 

[Rcal10]

Cubs resigned Velesquez. Might see him soon. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Ethan Roberts pitched an inning in Iowa recently on rehab, I wonder what his status is.

[bukie]

There are now just 2 teams over .500 in the AL, the Rays and Yankees.

There are 10 teams over .500 in MLB.

There are 5 teams over .500 in the NL Central.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Well it was my turn to fall asleep and miss the beautiful chaos. They were up 4-2, I was really hoping to wake up to a blow out, but alas. 

 

Kudos to the resiliency of this team. Just remarkable. And this forum never gave up. People were rightly pissed at Counsell but I dont think I saw any defeatist posts. Theres a true vibe right now that we are never out of it.

 

PCA's first Wrigley HR this year! 295/367/537 over his last 2 weeks guys. .3 BBK is not great but its improvement. 2 huge clutch hits in this series. Really nice to see him go to the short gap. Its right up there with RF in Yankee Stadium for its cheapness. Take advantage! 

 

It would be so heartwarming to win on our 10 year anniversary. Keep this horsefeathers up, please, all the way through November. 

 

I really want Jed to jump the market. Go get some young guys that aren't really working out with their current teams the way the Brewers did last year with Priester and Vaughn. You have plenty of ammo!

They had 7 walk off wins all of last year. They already have 6.

I fell asleep early in the 7th. Woke up and saw my phone was full of texts similar to the game thread. Scrolled down and saw they won.

I have found Reds highlights for this series. From left to right

Inning 1-4, Inning 5-8 and finally Inning 9 and 10

[Geographyhater8888]

I’m glad the injuries haven’t bit them in the ass yet and they’ve knocked off these wins. Once the magic wears off they might up treading water for for a month+ if the rotation injuries keep piling up. If they finish 65-60 the rest of the way they’ll make the playoffs. 

kind of remarkable how they’ve won 18/21 allowing 4.1 runs/game.

Commenters on Red Repoter are blaming the Cubs late inning magic on Bregman orchestrating some kind of cheating ring involving having cameras in the outfield bleachers to decode signs.

Those dumb mother horsefeathers forget that pitch com exists to prevent that very thing from happening.
