Chicago Cubs 2025

[Mr. Roberts]

Don't want to jinx this but since changing to a 3 game wild card format, the team winning the first game has never lost the series (12-0).

Thanks. I am going to the game today, so now if they lose it's your fault, not mine!

 

[illinoisfootball]

Put them away today.

What if they win? Do I get the W?

You get to share it!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

What if they win? Do I get the W?

OK by me. I get the save, though.

Love how this set up with the Dodgers and Phillies playing each other. Now the Cubs just need to capitalize. So far, so good.

Happ, Tucker, PCA gotta start doing something offensively...

If there is a game 3 and Tucker has another ofor today I wonder if Ballesteros will get a shot at DH

He's clearly not ready to hit live pitching right now, but I think they know they tank any shot at re-signing him if you don't play him in game 3.

I'd be shocked if that's a consideration if their playoff lives are at stake.

Mason Miller is just filthy.

Front offices have done MUCH dumber things before... lol

 

[IlliniFanTX]

Mason Miller is just filthy.

Unhittable honestly... Just hope to walk or sit slider

 

[Illiniaaron]

Not looking good after 8. Only 3 hits today.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!!

I hope. Oh God, I am going to the Illini game Saturday. Gulp.

 

[Warren Carter Fanclub]

When you have 3 of the guys in your lineup going 0 for 2 games and 3 guys with 1 hit, you're lucky to split the first 2 games.
PCA looks totally lost and Happ doesn't look much better.
PCA should just be thinking bunt. He looks like a left handed Javy Baez.
Please, let's get some hits tomorrow.

 

[IanKEvans2]

We get to see old friend Yu Darvish for SD tomorrow. That's fun.

Happ 1-22 against Cease lifetime

If Reds/Dodgers ends tonight, then Padres/Cubs Game 3 is played at 4:08 PM CT on ESPN. Otherwise, Game 3 is the same time as the previous two games.

 

[Jimbo]

Why does PCA keep swinging at that high fastball?

 

[Illiniaaron]

They need to get some runs early.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Why does PCA keep swinging at that high fastball?

In have said this for a while, PCA has discipline issues at the plate. Pitchers have figured him out and he has not adjusted to that. He needs to be a line drive hitter instead of trying to hit homers every time. He can turn some singles into doubles. He will be fine once he gets his swing under control.

 

[Warren Carter Fanclub]

Not so fun fact: In the last 13 postseason games at Wrigley Field, the Cubs have scored a TOTAL of 20 runs!!
