Cubs (Brown) vs Braves (Sale): 5/14/26, 6:15pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, the Braves series hasn't been going great. Will Ben Brown continue his amazing run? If yes, should be a great pitching matchup tonight.

It would be very baseball to take 1/3 in this series with the 1 being against Chris Sale

I thought that curious as well.    

And I know every team goes through this not just the Cubs, but man when we go through these stretches were no one is hitting for a sustained period of time, it seems like it will never end.

Yeah I thought the first two were winnable with this one being the toughest to get.

 

Watch the Cubs win 10-2

Be nice to win this one and get rid of the bad mojo before the Sox series

Wasn’t even close. Terrible call.

That’s how its going this week for the Cubs. Strike out on a checked swing and a well hit ball swung a fraction of a second too early.

This ump is complete trash

[chibears55]

All other Central teams loss yesterday and came back to all win today,  hopefully that a good sign for the Cubs to get a win. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Sale is on another planet

Dansby is a disaster at the plate right now.

Getting on base, not getting the big hit

[PeanutPunch33]

Ben will make himself a lot of money down the line if he keeps pitching like this 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Even if we do get swept, if this series ends with Albies not getting a hit, I'll never be more convinced this is our year. 

[chibears55]

Brown has turned into a completely different pitcher this season. 

As much as I liked having him in the pen for long relief,  it would be huge for the rotation if he ends up cementing a spot the rest of year. Very pleasant surprise 

[UMFan83]

The Cubs are averaging 0.66 runs per 9 innings over their last 41 innings 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Please for the love of god, stay healthy Ben

[Geographyhater8888]

Looks like more of the same horsefeathers tonight. 

[CUBDOM4life]

Ben Brown > Chris Sale

[PeanutPunch33]

Sale's gotta be a first ballot HOFer.  His baseball reference page is a beauty.  Hard to believe a guy can pitch as long as he has and never have a season where the ERA/FIP is under 4.  Not even Kershaw can say that. 

[JHBulls]

Well, that’ll work.
