Cubs (Cabrera) vs Rangers (Leiter): 5/9/26, 6:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

All right, so now we're into a double-digit win streak. A good matchup for the Cubs on paper, though Leiter was considerably better last year than he has been this year.

Ben Brown threw at least 40 pitches last night

He did. But he is now starting. So he probably shouldn’t even be on the list of pen arms.

Feels like Ed is due for an outlier start. The 6 innings/3 runs thing can't go on forever.

Leiter? Quantrill? Rocker? What decade is this?

They even have a McCutchen on their roster! Gotta be Andrew’s son I’m guessing.

Checking in from Globe Life Field.

Hoerner now hitting under .200 over his last 10+ games

This stadium sucks.

It's an abomination. Someone from MLB should have stepped in

it's so dark.

Another inning with RISP - Hoerner is making decent contact, but man is he in a bit of a funk (for his standards).

Cabrera has no control over that fast ball.  Could be a short night for him 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Does Cabrera actually suck?

I have not been impressed so far.

[JD94]

Cabrera has electric stuff. Just feels like with the success we’ve had developing pitching over the last several years, they figure out how to put it all together. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

He might be at his worst when its 0-2

[We Got The Whole 9]

Not sure how much blame he gets there for the hit but it should have been another walk.

He doesn't suck.😐  He's not great, but he's very decent.  We just need to score more.
