Cubs (Gausman) vs Padres (Pivetta): Wild Card Game 2, 9:00pm CST

[SparkMark1]

Not ideal

[Papa Cub]

wtf are you doing?? Challenging the first at bat??

[abuck1220]

hey PCA found a way to make a game opening strikeout even more damaging 

[cl smooth]

ABS challenge during the first at bat of the game? Cmon Pete…

[s2obed]

Stupid waste of a challenge, especially with it being the first batter of the game.

[soccer10k]

Pete you got to just eat that strikeout. Can’t challenge there.

[ILMindState]

That was dumb

And it wasn’t particularly close

[We Got The Whole 9]

Alright Pete, thats ridiculous. We dont need to freaking challenge on the first AB. 

 

Too many Ks leading off the game lately. The internet is gonna have a blast with this one.

[JBears79]

Pete deserves all the criticism he is going to get. 

[Stratos]

The sound on my feed is like 1 second ahead

[Funky-daddy]

Pete is clearly letting the moment get to him. Pushing a lot. He had that one great at bat taking the walk but clearly is putting winning on himself 

[PeanutPunch33]

this kid can catch for SD. 

[abuck1220]

both PCA and bregman swinging through middle middle 94. cool. 

[Tryptamine]

2 wasted challenges in the top of the first, laff at this ****** team.

[PeanutPunch33]

another horrible start

[ILMindState]

Swinging and missing at pitches right down the middle. I’ve seen this movie before and don’t like how it ends

[Soul]

I guess we’ll just strike out every at bat then.

[We Got The Whole 9]

horsefeathers man sometimes It feels like these guys would rather walk than hit. And the pitchers have a pretty good grip on when we are in take-mode. Bregman wasnt swinging until he got to 3-2.

 

This sucks.

[Thurman Merman]

I think pivetta hit every part of the black this inning

[UMFan83]

No idea why the Cubs offense decided to crater starting the last week of the regular season but it sucks 

[s2obed]

Crowd is insane. Cubs horsefeathers the bed taking this on the road lol.

[JBears79]

Hopefully Guasman just settles in early

[squally1313]

Pivetta looked really bad. Unfortunately Pete and Bregman couldn’t be pressing more, and that’s really bad.

I mean I don’t blame Bregman, he was trying to get on base and start something, he took 2 really good pitches that he probably isn’t doing much with anyways
