Astros (Arrighetti) vs Cubs (Taillon): 5/22/26, 1:20pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Alright, so the Cubs are done with the Brewers for now. They can get back on track with the season by doing some of God's work, and that is beating the Houston Astros over and over again. The biggest hurdle today is the fact they have to win despite Jameson Taillon starting.

How about a nice easy win today 

Taillon goes 6 and the bats put up at least 5

The hard hit balls were outs, the weak hit balls were hits.

Not watching but Seiya chased a curve up and away for 71 mph EV geounder to end the threat. Thats weak horsefeathers.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Two homers kept in by the wind for JaMo so far

The harder you hit it the less time fielders have to react on it and make a play. That’s the goal. Hitting a 90+ mph fastball is not like miniature golf where you can just aim your ball at holes.

If youre keeping score at home, 2 innings with RISP, 0 for 2

Good. 

[Dfan25]

Taillon is just awful . He should have given up 3 homers already if not for the wind

[Derwood]

That's the 17th HR Taillon has given up. He's on pace for like 40 allowed (lol)

[Dfan25]

Falling behind everybody as well 

[javy knows my name]

Are these idiots even watching the game?

Like why do I know what's going on better than they?

National announcers are the blurst

[JHBulls]

The bats need to come alive against Spaghetti at some point. 

[chibears55]

Here we go another opportunity with RISP, at least there's not 2 outs this time,  so theyll have 3 opportunities with middle of order
