1) Dario and Eubanks were solid off the bench.

2) I wish we had a better way to actually show preseason games in 2025.

Preseason game #2 takeaway:
- Terrible TV production from Portland
- LaVine is ready!
- Defensively better
- Sabonis foul trouble
- Nique Clifford is HIM

Counsell noted that besides Boyd, who pitched last night, every pitcher on their NLDS roster will be available to pitch in the win-or-go-home Game 5.

Craig Counsell isn’t ready to announce who the Cubs will start in Game 5 tomorrow against Milwaukee.

It really sucks that Pearsall was lost for multiple weeks just because he landed on his knee wrong. Talk about bad injury luck!

Dianna Russini @diannarussini.bsky.social · 22h

49ers QB Brock Purdy and WR Ricky Pearsall are out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

- Less threes from Portland
- young guys continue to shine
- Pace they talked about during camp

This is the second time the Cubs have won 3 games facing elimination in a single postseason, joining 2016 (WS 5-7)

Best guess for game 5 starter? Shota? Colin Rea?

Ben Gascoigne @tallskinnyben.bsky.social · 1d

GM John Lynch on @knbr on the possibility of the 49ers trading for an edge rusher: "I'm having a lot of conversations, a lot of good and productive ones. ... If we find a way to make our football team better and it aligns, then we will not be shy on pulling the trigger."

My takeaway from the @sacramentokings first preseason game:

- young guys looked good down the stretch
- LaVine is LaVine in mid-season form
- I love aggressive Keegan Murray
- Preseason is sloppy basketball and plenty to clean up.
