Some good baseball going on here

@sahadevsharma.bsky.social and Patrick Mooney talked about slug with on base being what they needed. Foul here, but the at bats have been so much better

THIS IS FUN NOW

Oh man. Tried to steal the other night. 2 hits and hard hit balls last night. Left center at 107? Is that calf better?!?

107.5!!!!

TUCKER

Cubs continue to struggle to build a pen each offseason.
But their ability to pivot and build a legit pen during the course of pretty much every season really needs to be commended.

Man. Can’t say enough good things about Pomeranz this season. My lord what a lightning in a bottle find.

Old man yelling at clouds alert:

When did tif become acceptable to walk back to your seat in the middle of an at bat during a ball game?

White Sox gave away Andrew Vaughn

HOT DOGGGGGSSSS

So let’s capitalize please

So…what if The Weiner Circle promised Hot dogs for a run after the 1st? They got Caleb to throw 4 Tuddys….

I love how on this broadcast team, that hasn’t been mentioned once. They have called Turang that nearly every at bat he has.

Another good one from @slangsonsports.bsky.social:

Scoreless start facing elimination, Cubs postseason history:

2025 NLDS G4 Matthew Boyd (4 2/3 IP)
2025 NLWCS G3 Jameson Taillon (4)
2015 NLWCG Jake Arrieta (SHO)
1935 WS G5 Lon Warneke (6)
1918 WS G5 Hippo Vaughn (SHO)

I’m not upset with the approach.

I am getting tired of the 1st inning being the only inning for runs.

Seiya. Lefty masher. Fighting for my ability to relax.

Playoff Nico

So good at it he is almost a Brewer

I think it’s time for some King Tuck decree.

Palencia wins round two vs Chourio!

OutSTANDING work from Boyd tonight. In a game like this, you absolutely take 4.2 innings of scoreless-ish ball (even with a couple runners still out there). Cubs needed that tonight. Big effort.

What a performance by Matthew Boyd. 14 outs from him tonight was huge. Hoss performance.

I thought 15 or 16 outs was your best case scenario coming into today and he just about got there. Awesome job.

What an effort from Boyd tonight. Excellent work.
