Pretty sure they just have to make the playoffs to ensure their 1st isn't a lottery pick. So yeah they have 2 chances to win 1 game to secure their playoff spot. Because it affects the Bulls, I fully expect the Blazers to lose both because thats the kind of horsefeathers that happens to this sad sack organization.

Nice piece of hitting Conforto -
Great time for our first walk off of the year. actually yesterday would have been but I’ll take today too
-
I’ll take that break
-
PCA needs a couple days off to reset
-
Have we tried maybe not hitting pop ups every time there are RISP?
-
Ok this is turning into fun bad
-
If you break it down by month it was only really August that was really bad. September/October’s OPS was above their overall season OPS (.751)
-
To me hitting seems very cyclical and they’re bound to start hitting soon regardless of the caliber of pitching. We’ll see. I agree the vibes haven’t been great but that’s why Jed wanted all these good clubhouse guys on the roster to keep things together during bad stretches. I just think it’s too early to be more than slightly concerned at this point.
-
I’m still not too worried, just a crappy stretch to start the year but they’re starting to dig an annoying hole for themselves and the schedule is getting tougher.
-
Swanson almost certainly would have been out but when he didn’t try to score on Shaw’s fly ball I had a bad feeling.
-
What an awful loss
-
Thielbar is not having the best series I guess.
-
Nice work Palencia
-
Technically tying the game means the lead was surmounted since that lead was erased. But yeah still need to win this.
-
Apparently it’s surmountable
-
PCA looks so overmatched right now. It’s rough to watch.
-
I hate how a 3-0 lead feels completely insurmountable
-
I wasn’t really following too closely. So Shota pitched 6 innings and allowed 1 baserunner (walk), Thielbar came in and allowed 2 runs and 3 hits in 0.2 IP, then the rest of the pen pitched 2.1 IP without allowing a baserunner. Meanwhile the Cubs had 13 baserunners and didn’t score. gotta love baseball
-
Really not worried. There's no reason to suggest the entire team besides Nico won't hit and the bullpen will light every game on fire when they come in all year.

xBA - Pirates .281, Cubs .249 Mo's ball was 103 MPH and .490 xBA Busch's was 101 MPH and .550 xBA
-
He just missed a HR 3 different times on Wednesday and probably hit one today if not for the wind. He'll be fine, he's getting closer to locked in IMO.
-
Leadoff walk and the inning is over 2 pitches later lol. 3 double play caliber balls hit in 2 innings, 2 of them converted into GIDPs

Cubs (Rea) vs Rays (Boyle): 4/8/26, 5:40pm
UMFan83 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Weren't people talking about how doomed we were this series after losing the first game and having Assad and Rea going the next 2 nights? -
Oh No: Cade Horton Out for Season, to Undergo UCL Surgery
UMFan83 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
True but even without Horton neither Assad or Rea would be projected to be in a Cubs playoff rotation. Would be Cabrera, Steele, and 2 of Boyd, Shota and Taillon. If anything you’d want an Assad or Rea to be giving 3 innings piggybacking off the 3rd and 4th starters.
