Well that’s game. What an implosion -
A bloop single, bunt single and GIDP ground ball hit into a hole

Goddammit

Falling apart

What do you have against disabled people? Hellen Keller’s life was much more impressive than any of ours. Also that was Keller’s first HR allowed this year, wouldn’t exactly call it batting practice.
-
I’d see if Amaya could pull a Contreras/Schwarber and get some IF or OF work in. Carrying 3 catches is tough when Seiya is pretty locked in as the DH but none of the catchers are making a case that they should be the odd man out.

FFS Busch why couldn’t you get your 4th straight hit against a LHP?
-
Advanced stats aside, it would be really wild if a guy with this batting line wasn’t an all star right? .296 18 HR 55 RBI .945 OPS
-
A strikeout and 2 ground balls, what you want to see on a day like this
-
If you were the Cardinals in that situation would you have rather faced Seiya with runners on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs or PCA with the bases loaded and 2 outs? L/L matchup is preferred and sometimes PCA takes overeager ABs but his swing is so quick that it’s quite possible he turns on one for a grand slam basically what I’m saying is that you should definitely prefer the L/L matchup but PCA has burned teams in those situations this year.

Kelly’s hit was definitely wind aided. now let’s see what we do with another 3rd and 0/1 out situation
-
Sucks to have bases loaded 1 out in the first and 2nd and 3rd and 0 out in the third and get 1 total run but at least we’re in the game
-
I think someone said PCA would have a 0% probability catch at some point. Well technically yesterdays was
-
What the hell? They need to score this inning
-
Last 3 AB for Busch against LHP: 3-3, 2 HR, 1 2B wild
-
Not getting 1 there at least is absolutely killer after the top of the 1st

FFS dansby
-
Bases loaded for Dansby. Which direction does he aim his grounder?
-
The one power hitting RHH in the middle the order and he has a terrible Ab resulting in a K

When the opener fails

Just for fun here is where the Cubs starting position players rank in fWAR for their position C - Kelly - 5th - 1.9 fWAR 1B - Busch - 3rd - 2.3 fWAR 2B - Hoerner - 5th - 2.0 fWAR 3B - Ehhhh SS - Swanson - 12th - 1.9 fWAR LF - Happ - 16th - 1.0 fWAR (missed a month) CF - PCA - 1st - 4.6 fWAR RF - Tucker - 2nd - 3.9 fWAR

Sandy Alcantara with 5 ER in 6 IP tonight. I dunno I think I’m out on him unless he’s cheaper than what is being discussed. I have no doubt he’s fixable but he can’t be our big acquisition at this point.

Cardinals (Mikolas) vs Cubs (Rea): 7/4/25, 1:20pm
UMFan83 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
saw the Reds beat the Phillies today. Sort of a mixed result since it keeps the Reds close ("only" 7 games back!!!) but puts the Cubs 2 games ahead of the Phillies for an NLDS bye -

Meh, not sure why it's a big deal. Rizzo striking out Freeman and Zobrist striking out Molina in his final MLB AB are treasured memories for me. -

Imagine hitting 3 HRs and not being named player of the game
