*** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

Cease certainly seemed to be rolling right along, but they are clearly taking no chances facing elimination. Handing it off to that stellar bullpen. Got to find a way to manufacture something.

isn't it funny how some players just can't get going in the playoffs. but it seems the whole team can't get it going.
Lot of guys make hay against the 4th and 5th starters and can't make contact vs really good pitching.

you are right but jfc do people like to pile on certain people. let's have a few more complaining about pca not delivery or tucker also. strikeout or ground out or fly out are outs.
 
Struck out 20 times through 16 innings. Is that good?
San Diego averaged about nine strikeouts per game through the season, so not too far off what they've been doing. This is one of the better pitching teams in the league, so I'm not sure why this surprised anyone.
