Nice solid win
PCA building up the confidence again, Taillon lookin strong. Keller is the man
Horton v Skenes tomorrow!!!!! 🌭 hot dogggie
Our last shut out was August 1st, we were well overdue. Fly the W!
Ninth got a little spicy there, but overall, a pretty uneventful win. I’ll take those every day.
Time to root for Arizona.
Pirates eliminated from the postseason. Magic number to clinch a spot down to three. Taillon was solid. PCA back into the HR column. Nice win!
Great pitching performance tonight. So happy Pete went yard!!!
UNCLENCH

Another quality start from Jameson and the team’s 14th shutout of the season which is the most since 2018
its only 930 my time. What am i going to do with the rest of my night?
PCA double and homer was a pleasant surprise
22 games over .500! Only took them 3 of 4 tries, but they finally did it lol

Little hiccup and worry at the end but we pulled it out! Pete can hit again!
Hopefully a sign of things to come for PCA, and a great start from Taillon.
Great game Jame-O! PCA! Busch! Nico! Dansby! Ian! Everybody contributed. Porter had me in code blue 🤭
PCA 30-30 watch is on
Extra salty balls for the doomers who said the Cubs were limping into the playoffs, but are now a SEASON HIGH 22 games over .500. All without two of their best bats in Seiya and Tucker.

It’s crazy that Milwaukee is having a historic season and we’re only 5 games back. If it wasn’t for their godly run that’s putting us in 2nd, I’d say we’re a damn good ball team this year and I don’t see anyone really beating us unless we beat ourselves.
3 more wins and they can pop some champagne baby!
My confidence is this team is returning.
The life of a Cubs fan
I’m glad that PCA had a good night but I don’t think that bat flip was earned. I bet it felt good but ya gotta earn those stripes. But what do I know I’ve never hit a homer
Lots of positives in this one. I’ll add that it was good to see Soroka go 2 innings. Could be a key piece down the stretch.
Satisfying win. Tomorrow is interesting.
an absolute perfect time for the Cubs to come alive and get even closer to a post season spot! Bears season has not been the distraction i was hoping for so far, lol
Not sold on Porter in the Circle of Trust right now, but a shutout win was still good to see.
Good win, let’s see if we can sweep. Need to get a nice 5-6 game win streak going
If the Cubs can get PCA, Suzuki and Tucker to start smoking the ball again on offense I truly believe they can make a deep postseason run. With pitching staying solid of course.
Dbacks up 6-1 and if they win this game cubs magic number becomes 2.
so if the cubs win the 3-game home series against the pads, they play the 1-seed in the NLDS, correct?
