Cubs (Imanaga) vs Giants (Webb): 8/28/25, 2:45pm
BigSlick replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Man, the double play luck has been brutal this series. They have had several extremely strong chances at big innings ruined by a poorly timed ground ball. Get it all out of your system boys -
what the hell happened to Brisker man. that last concussion has seemingly set his whole career askew
-
I think this experience all cements the fact that when your offense is bad, its the worst feeling in sports. It's bad when your pitching sucks, but at least you get a fighting chance with a good offense. But when you can't do jackshit on offense, it feels like you want to die.

I need to take UMFan's perspective. In almost all regards, the season is already over. It's damn near impossible for them to catch the Brewers and it's damn near impossible for the Reds to catch them. Which makes the rest of the season more or less an exercise in making sure people are healthy, playing well, and you're prepared for the playoffs. Reach a zen status and not worry about individual wins or losses. Unless they do something really stupid and lose like 10 in a row or something.

They did sweep the Rockies (at Wrigley) earlier this season.

Yeah, honestly, if you have a daily podcast I'm not sure why they need a dedicated Bears podcast as well, there's only so much sports news that comes out every day and as well know, Chicago is a football town. Once football season starts the main appetite for sports content is Bears related. So they're gonna be doing a lot of redundant commentary. Hell, the Cubs have been contenders all season long and they are still a smaller fraction of the Score material than the Bears have been through training camp. As far as the live vs. podcast thing... I get the impression they're recording these the morning they're released? Which is a pretty darn fast turnaround and is close enough to live events that it will be pretty up to date.

i'm taking it as a given the defense will be mediocre to bad we're on year 3 or 4 of me being like 'i dont care if the defense is bad, just show improvement on the offense' and each time it doesn't improve. 🤷♂️
-
Very annoying that this team is doing this immediately after a rare sweep on the road and also holding leads in both of these games
-
I won’t be able to handle it if they lose another game to this trash ass team when they had a lead earlier in the game
-
Lefty with a 4.91 ERA? Oof, we’re in for rough sledding
-
Pretty bad loss here. Oh well.
-
this is shaping up to be a classic annoying Cubs (TM) loss. happy to be very wrong, of course.
-
Hm. I have to say, this is less than ideal.
-
PCA may drive me nuts from time to time with some TOOTBLANs but his speed and aggressiveness also results in runs that otherwise wouldn't have happened, so you take the bad with the good
-
hell yeah baby
-
the Giants announcers were predicting exactly that, a ball way down below the strike zone 😞 Sad to see PCA fall for it - it was a very good at bat right up till then
-
yeah i really hate those giants uniforms. very ugly numbers on them in particular
-
great start to Seiya's night at least. Would be cool to get a run here.
-
this zone is crazy. if the ump calls this zone so big we're boned
-
can we please not scuffle against the desiccated corpse of Justin Verlander? PLEASE?
-
So Tyler Scott is a roster cut then as well I assume? I have to say I like the WR and TE corps quite a bit. Wish we had a starting RB I liked a little more to hit the hole hard, but I also have confidence in Johnson’s judgment on the running game.
-
Justin Verlander is still in the league ?
-
Zacch Pickens was cut. One of Poles's higher picks from 2 years ago and a bust. That's not great for Poles's evaluation quality.
-
That was a magical run by Arrieta. I almost feel like he exhausted all his physical talent in that ~2 year stretch to will the Cubs to a World Series and then his career was more or less over (it wasn’t but he never reached anything close to those highs and those Phillies years, woof)
-
I have to say, I enjoyed hearing Matt Abbattacola’s voice again. The best stretch of Boers and Bernstein was when he was their producer and he was constantly to giving Dan attitude. Didn’t realize he had a breakdown of his own and got completely out of the radio business for like 10 years.
