Cardinals (Liberatore) vs Cubs (Assad): 7/5/26, 1:30pm

[JBears79]

On pace to give up 264 homeruns this season. Balitimore gave up 305 so we might still catch them!!!

[Derwood]

Hung the horsefeathers out of that slider

[Geographyhater8888]

0-6 versus the breweee and cardinals at wrigley is a horsefeathers disgrace.

The bullpen isnt great, but when the SP can barely  get 5, it can make a not so great bullpen into a pretty terrible one.

Last 10 games SP innings

Boyd 4.2

Rea 5

Peterson 5.2

Bullpen game

Imanaga 6.1

Taillon will be back after the break 🙄

I’m going with a Shallow fly out for Nico that strands Kelly at third. 

[Rex Buckingham]

nice to see Nico deliver

[PeanutPunch33]

nico!

[chibears55]

Ok Nico....

Keep responding guys, need more runs

[Bull]

Nico back?

[Papa Cub]

Is it me, or is there anyone else out there that feels that Counsell literally “scripts “ his pitchers prior to each game (I.e. pitch counts, pulls at a certain time, regardless of the game), as opposed to just letting the game unfold and going with your hot hand? 
 

I completely understand that you have a specific “range” of pitches for your starter, but it feels to me like he just goes into a game scripted way too often.

Ty Cardinals defense 

[PeanutPunch33]

finally, a break 

[Papa Cub]

Regardless of the outcome - great PH move here 

[Bull]

Just when I start to think great defense is overrated, I am reminded that it is underrated.

[mk49]

Great defense!

[Papa Cub]

horsefeathers yeah!!

[Geographyhater8888]

Nice defense. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Pedro does the job

[Tangled Up in Plaid]
