Yankees (Cole) vs Cubs (Rea): 8/2/26, 1:20pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Uneven pitching matchup in favor of the Yankees, but they also can't score runs lately, so...

Going to the game today. Never seen Cole pitch so pretty excited about that. Hope we beat him though.

Any insight into what’s going on with Busch this year? OPS over 100 points lower but platoon splits pretty even. Launch angle is down and pulling the ball less

[Jason Ross]

Lineup. Read into it as you see fit:
- Pedro is in the lineup
- Kelly is not in the lineup

(I'd guess it's nothing but hey. free country out there)

He looks like hes rolling over and getting on top of everything. Just my 2 cents

I for one can't imagine why they'd use a different catcher for a day game after a night game.

Yeah, I think Carson Kelly is a super obvious one. But his name has popped up in trade conversations and well, you know. People love running wild.

At a base level, we know that Pedro Ramirez hasn't already been traded.

The weather looks great! Pretty cool.

Figure out a way to get some runs today and win the series 

[Tryptamine]

So random observation, but outside of that disaster outing against the Cardinals, Peterson has been a really good pick up. The 1.52 ERA over his last 4 starts is a total mirage carried by his .156 babip, but 4.20 FIP and 3.90 xFIP is a solid to good back of the rotation guy.

Yeah, all of our lefty SP's have been pitching great lately.  The Peterson trade worked out really well.

Which is exactly what the Cubs acquired him to be. I think most anyone paying attention expected more or less what Peterson has given the Cubs, but still nice to see.

Looking ahead, apparently we're going to see Skubal during the LA series. Should be interesting
