Reds (Burns) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 08/30/26, 6:20 PM

[We Got The Whole 9]

JFC Nico, you have the worst approach on the team. 2 chases at least a foot off the plate.

[abuck1220]

swung at two straight pitches that were nowhere close 

[Soul]

I mean, he’s heading to 100 pitches.  That’s not a pitch count.

[abuck1220]

damn Pedro take the walk 

[We Got The Whole 9]

He gave you a frigging cookie, Pedro. Damn.

 

Also 2 really bad chases. 

 

[chibears55]

Damnn, needed Ramirez to get on there 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Taylor is gonna tie this bitch up 

[Irrelevant Dude]

When did national broadcasts become, let's put multiple guys in the booth who are somehow tied to the teams on the field and have them go back and forth all game?

What are you talking about?  I learned Votto’s never had a nacho.  That’s valuable information.

Only circumstance I would Shota another start is if they somehow clinch a playoff spot before the last series of the season.  Just can't keep running him out there when you need wins,

Plus he’s burning bullpen arms.

It's an NBC thing.

If they can't get a truly awesome color guy, this is probably the best move. Benetti seems to play well in this arrangement, so at least there's that.

And almost as relevant as Ringo Starr having never eaten a slice of pizza!

[Soul]

Geez.

[squally1313]

this pitching staff is a horsefeathers embarrassment

[Andy]

Welp Thornton is turning into a pumpkin too

[We Got The Whole 9]

Stewart is pretty damn good

Just about to say the same thing. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Embarrassing horsefeathers. This is a replacement level pitching staff. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Cubs pitchers are auditioning for roles in the 2027 home run derby.

[Soul]

Even if they are a playoff team, it’s not a playoff pitching staff.

[UMFan83]

Most Home runs allowed:

Cubs - 211

Athletics - 208

Nationals - 190

 

Cubs have finally taken the lead!

[gflore34]

Stephenson, Suarez are not very good, except when they play the Cubs.  This team is not going to make the playoffs, too many holes on the pitching staff.

That's not happening, pitching staff will do them in.
