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

I think our SPs have the lowest ERA in baseball, since the break.

Another game lost because of giving up homers to total scrubs

That would not matter as much if the Cubs offense would show up more often.;

I mean that is annoying, but I’ll take 6 ip, 2 er from Rea every time. 
 

they lost because PCA is in a real mike trout situation right now and nico is too horsefeathers dumb to understand leverage.

The pitching has allowed 11 total runs in the last 5 games and they’re 2-3.

Happ now down to a 106 wrc with a 30 k rate . I apreciate everything he has done for the organization , but it’s time to move on . This offense depends so much on PCA  and Seiya .

Watch Taillon pitch for the Jays on Thursday and shutout the Cubs 😅

He owes us about 173 homers allowed.

Nico absolutely needs to challenge that and ABS isn’t new enough anymore for that to be an excuse.

 

Bregman's K really annoyed me, but Nico not challenging there was inexcusable.

I don't usually yell at the TV, but I did there. In that situation you have to challenge, even if it isn't clearly a ball (which it was). And challenge again on the next close pitch if it comes to it.

Like once it got to 3-0 he should have been primed to challenge anything close.

That was just a supremely frustrating game.

Not the headline from today's game but I really like Civale out of the pen.  I hope he's still on the roster Tuesday night.  I'd dump Thornton before him, even though I don't think the team will.

PCA has 8 hits since the first inning against Paul Skenes 9 days ago and all of them have been XBHs.

I would chalk it up more to several squandered opportunities to push runs across.  A total team effort.

I missed parts of this game and apparently part of that was Nico not challenging a pretty clear ball on a 3-0 count with the bases loaded. Holy horsefeathers thats a kick in the nuts.

Yeah, and I know - easy for me to say - I'm watching the game and there is a box to help me - but if we had two challenges, and I think we still did at that time - man that was a tailor made - have to challenge moment - it should have tied the game and then who knows what the next batter does, the bases are still loaded.

You have to challenge any call that could result in a run.
