*** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

Second day in a row for Tucker at DH. Hope that doesn't signal he is dealing with a minor injury given his slump at the plate lately, but with the Cubs you never know anymore as they haven't exactly been transparent with the severity of injuries in recent years.

I think Counsel has said that rotating OF guys into the DH role was the plan all along once they got into the part of the schedule with less off days.

He also hit the wall hard the other night. I'm not worried about the transparency thing but he could be feeling something.

I know Seiya has made some bad plays in the past but I don't see a problem with guys getting some rest as he is not unplayable out there.

Tucker (and Marlins LF) bails him out thankfully.

It's possible that the rumors of Tucker's demise were exaggerated.

Oh boy we are doing Palencia in the 9th again aren't we?

 

[BigJCy]

Gotta be kidding me. 1/2 foot from being a HR looks like.

Surely that extra run not making it in wont bite us in the ***

WTF, only out by about 10 feet.

I love Busch looking back at Berry like "I can't believe you actually sent me". Might be one of the worst sends you'll ever see.

2-1. W.

Got it done, but still made you pucker for a couple of those balls off the bat.

Tigers up 5-1 in 9th

I thought Norby's was gone off the bat.

Great series for Matt Shaw to get some confidence at this level. Oppo power was impressive.

And just like that, cubs have the largest divisional lead in the NL.

Cards lost, Pirates beat the Reds, now just need the Os to finish off the Brewers.

Nice to have a separation day.

I was waiting for someone to call him a 4A player

With our next two series against not so great teams, I’d really like to get to a nice 5 game cushion over 2nd place at the end of it
