Dodgers (Lauer) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 08/05/26, 1:20 PM

Is Ohtani supposed to return to pitching again this season?

I think if both continue to hit well, that could be the difference between Ohtani winning the MVP over PCA. 

Ohtani pitching will overtake PCA defense with the writers voting decision

Statcast says Busch's ball was 412, how did that not go out

I thought it was gone, and the wind is supposed to be blowing out.  The statcast says 103.9mph, 26 degrees, 412'.

Gonna have to pray for Shota to get through 5 at this rate.

Hes not looking sharp but been finding ways to get outs.

Hopefully the bats have a few more runs in them, 3 might not be enough

Taillon pitched exactly like you'd expect

Holy horsefeathers PCA

[JHBulls]

Christ, PCA!

[PeanutPunch33]

anybody that votes Ohtani over PCA for MVP should lose their ability to vote... both for baseball awards and real elections 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Unfuckingbelievable

[ILMindState]

Aw horsefeathers, gonna be harder to hit for the cycle now 

[JBears79]

Pete Crow-Armstrong is my lord and savior.

[mk49]

Unbelievable.  Crushed it big time.

[Andy]

He is the goddamn MVP

Let him DH once a week 😅

[PeanutPunch33]

side note, Taylor was a sneaky good pickup.  He kept that inning alive with a good AB.  

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Nice meatball you got there

[UMFan83]

Thats at least 7 ABs in a row against LHPs for PCA.   He is 5-7 with 2 HR, a double, 2 SB, 3 runs scored and 5 RBI

Edit: No walks though so his BB% is dropping

I can’t believe what I am seeing.  If he continues this could be the best season we have EVER seen from a Cub. 

[Bull]

PCA Just matched Ohtani's OPS. There's nothing left for an excuse to vote for anyone but Pete.

[Derwood]

I want PCA/Seiya hitting 1/2 for the next 5 years
