The 2 run single by Pedro was huge.

Yes, too many times the Cubs let the Reds off the hook Friday and came back to bite them.

They definitely need the runs as Philly is up 4 with Christopher Sanchez on the mound.

[BKHoo]

I’ve been wrong about Peterson.

The nearest 40/40 club miss on stolen bases was Ronald Acuna in 2019 when he had 41 HR and 37 SB, which PCA has now surpassed.

PCA has 6+ games to get 2 steals, which should be do-able but it gets a bit more difficult with everyone knowing he's going at every opportunity.

Not sure if anyone else did it but the closest miss on either HR or SB (I know you specified SB) was in 2024 when Jose Ramirez ended on 39 HR.

What just happened to Bregman?

took a foul ball off his face while standing on deck.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

jesus, good thing it wasn't a real swing

[Derwood]

Hope it was just a scare and not a broken nose or orbital bone

[JBears79]

Did the ball actually hit him in the face or was it the head? I didnt see it

[BKHoo]

There are the Cubs we know and love.  Long ball.

Hell, I'll take a broken nose (easy for me to say).

[BKHoo]

Yep, right in the face. Busch brought his hands in to take an inside pitch and the ball caught the bat and ricocheted

#45 PCA!

[JHBulls]

45/38. What a year PCA is having. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pete has 2 3-hit games and a 4 hit game surrounded by a bunch of 0-fers in the last 7 or 8 games lol

 

That ball was annihilated 

[BKHoo]

Wow.  PCA might win the HR race.  That would be incredible. 

[BKHoo]

Any word on Alex? 

[Derwood]

 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Obviously a broken nose can bleed profusely, so hopefully it is no worse than that.

Or a cut under the eye

It was always bound to happen one day and honest I am surprised it doesn’t happen more. IMO, they should just get rid of the on base deck and have the next batter up standing on the edge of the dugout. A quick jog to home plate and no time has been wasted. It’s a dangerous place to be standing.

Hopefully his vision isn’t obstructed either. But with the luck they’ve had I’m sure it’s a season ender.
