Here we go, best option we have atm
Boyd, Shota, Rea
Or Rea in game 2 if the wind is blowing out

Look for his career vs Padres ERA to go down a notch. LET’S GO!
Doing our best with what we got tbh.
I’ve been impressed with Taillon since he came back, I think he deserves a start.
It’s too bad Cade got hurt, I definitely think he did enough to earn the ball with his 2nd half rookie or not
Please don’t get shelled.
Our ace for most of the year. Not how we expected but we ride at Dawn (2:08pm) from beautiful and historic Wrigley Field
Pray the bats are hot and then we can have Colin Rea shove to finish the Padres off
Padres have been bad on the road (38-42) and against leftys (.663 OPS) this year.
I believe in Boyd
I’m still a Boyd Boy. Let’s go!
Best choice, since Shota’s been giving up the taters by the bushel of late.
Regardless, the Cubs need to hit their way this year.
Bring the bats and bludgeon.
Game one of a conquest to have a WS title won on Wrigley’s Grounds. We Ride at Daw- wait no that’s 2:08PM
Someone call Jon Lester
Well deserved, looked good the last outing
Please stop using the term “Locked In” 2025 sports teams. It’s so contrived.
Best choice and will be on a short leash. Hopefully we get a gem. This is a good matchup for us.
Is Javie going in the bullpen? I would love for him to be in the bullpen! He is one cool customer. He is pretty unshakable! He looked great this weekend.
Extra super duper massive good luck, Matthew!
Honestly, he deserves it for what he’s done for us this year regardless of Horton being out or not
Surprised to see the Padres struggle against lefties. Tatis Jr and Machado are both righties and all. Boyd vs. Pivetta? Let’s go! Go Cubs Go!
