  3. Wasn’t Imanaga on a downward slide as the 2025 season was drawing to a close?

  8. anybody know if Marquee is doing the wrigleyvision broadcasts this year? ya know the ones with out announcers or behind the plate

  11. “Dressed in yel-low, she said hel-lo. Come sit next to me, you fly fellow.”

  14. Be honest, who here wouldn’t have been at least content with 5 ip 3 earned before the game had started?

  16. Props on Shota for turning it around and getting out of some tough situations. Especially that leadoff triple.

  26. Baseball is a streaky game, but there’s a bunch of very streaky batters in this team. If they can ham and egg it enough with the streaks, they’ll be in good shape

  31. Scorching a ton of balls right at their guys. Happens. We’ll get to their bullpen

  33. Boy oh boy i sure do love baseballs being destroyed right at outfielders infielders and even pitchers!

  34. Looks like Shota is back out. I think they just want to him to face Lile the lefty can’t imagine Craig is going to leave him to face Wiemer again who’s 2-2 off him with the homer

  36. Imanaga is so fucking insufferable to watch… he fucking whines every pitch even when it’s clearly not a strike. Get him off the fucking field.

  40. Shota looked fine tbh. The two singles before the homer were BS, and Wiemer is satan anyways.

  41. It can’t be overstated enough how desperately we need Cabrera to be a top of rotation guy because Shota and Boyd will not be

  42. Remember when they couldn’t even put him in for the post season in MKE bc they knew he would blow it but don’t worry bc he still got the QO 🙂
