Cubs (Imanaga) vs Cardinals (Pallante): 5/29/26, 6:15pm

Shota does not look good. 

[squally1313]

Yeah that tracks. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Oh god who didn't see that coming

 

Shota, terrible location, man. You're too predictable.

[cl smooth]

Got ourselves a ballgame!

[mk49]

No way.

[cl smooth]

Why does that dude get a curtain call?

[Geographyhater8888]

Took 4 batters for our “ace” to cough up a 3-0 lead. Unacceptably bad.

I really, really, really hate fly ball pitchers. Not only have the results with Shota been uneven at best, its just an aesthetically offensive brand of pitching. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I rest my case.

Imanaga dead, watch he ends up on IL now

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Nelson Valesquez, lol

I don’t mind Cohen. 

The real question is: why is Boog missing so much time? Is he sick? Seems as if he’s missing more games than usual.

Making sculptures of Taylor out of butter is not an artform that can be rushed.

18 ER in 11.1 IP over Shota's last 3 starts (2+ starts I guess).  6 HRs allowed too.  That's insane.

Shota needs to make like Ben Brown and find another pitch. If it's nothing but fastballs and sinkers, the batter can flip a coin

[squally1313]

There goes counsell leaving his starter in too long again. 

[JHBulls]

Of course. I missed all of that.

 

 

[Derwood]

If only Amaya had started

[PeanutPunch33]

Shota has been getting rocked lately 

[UMFan83]

Most HRs allowed this year:

1. Taillon - 19 (4 more than anyone else)
14. Imanaga - 11
28. Rea - 9
42. Cabrera - 8
78. Bummer - 6

Bummer hasn't pitched for the Cubs yet but interesting to point out that he has the 2nd most HRs allowed by a pitcher who hasnt made a start this season.

[chopsx9]

I love escalating pitch counts.

As do I - however, I’d prefer Pallante to remain in the game lol

Fair enough.

[UMFan83]

Seiya with a hit with RISP! (that doesn’t even advance the runner 😂)

[squally1313]

137 wRC

[chibears55]

Conforto starting to cool off some the last couple weeks 

[UMFan83]

How long until Cubs opponents start just walking the first 2 batters of every inning since that is basically the most effective way to prevent the Cubs from scoring runs?

Led off the inning with a double followed by a single and 0 runs scored.
