Thats the way PCA designed it.

Maybe July will be Bregman month 🤷

[mk49]

Bregman really sucks with RISP.

[Soul]

That’s a Shota special.

[mk49]

Carson special.

[chibears55]

Gonna need 10 runs again

Did Carson steal your girlfriend or something?

[Papa Cub]

Cubs bats seem to be awake (well, most of the team anyway), but Shota doing Shota things I see 🤷‍♂️

[UMFan83]

Shota’s HRs allowed the last 7 starts:

2

3

3

4

0 (Rockies)

0 (Rockies)

3 (so far)

May I never agree to watch Shota Imanaga pitch again.  

[Derwood]

He mostly gives up solo shots, but still annoying

No, but for some reason, the hitters seem to guess a lot easier, when Shota pitches with Carson.  I bet Shota's ERA with Amaya/Mo is around 2.50.  With Carson, probably, 5+.

And, I like Carson.  I just don't like Shota/Carson combo.

Shota still has to execute pitches. Carson is just catching them. Blaming this on Carson is weird

[UMFan83]

Are the Cubs protesting challenging balls and strikes tonight for some reason?

Carson is calling most of the pitches.  For the last HR, he called two high fastball in a row.

I was thinking the same thing. At least three very obvious balls have been called strikes and the hitters aren't challengin

I was thinking the same, too.

[mk49]

Shaw looks more comfortable playing OF, which is good.

[Papa Cub]

Good to see Pedro having another nice game and ABs! 👍

[mk49]

Yeah, I like Pedro so far.

Fuggin Swanny on 🔥 this series 

[mk49]

Dansby has been red hot.

[Derwood]

Dansby is unleashing a season's worth of frustration on the Mets

I'm curious to see what the team record is for most RBI's in a 3 game stretch
