Imanaga Dinger Issues Again, the Lack of Starters, Tucker Honored, and Other Cubs Bullets

Just like that, the Cubs are on the doorstep of elimination. At the hands of the Brewers. Fun.

Shōta Imanaga was as hard on himself as a guy can possibly be after that loss. “With the team putting up three runs, I ruined the game. And there’s a lot of frustration within myself.”

    — Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) October 7, 2025 I wouldn’t put the ENTIRETY of the loss on Imanaga, but the homers were inarguably a back-breaker. “There’s a tipping point to, I think, giving up home runs, and Shota has succeeded because he’s kept runners off base and maybe the solo home run doesn’t hurt you as much,” Craig Counsell said, per the Tribune. “Again, I’m going to reiterate: a three-run homer is going to kill you, and you can survive some solo home runs. Home runs with men on base like that, you’re going to have a tough time surviving them. He did get off to a good start. There was some swing-and-miss the first two innings for sure that was good to see. But the long ball and the rate he’s giving it up right now with runners on base, that’s going to be hard to overcome.”

    Executing the fastball at 91-94, elevating it just above the zone and dotting corners, playing off that with a nasty splitter, etc etc. This season, he's found way too much of the plate too frequently and hasn't had the same level of stuff to miss bats, survive mistakes.

    — Matt Clapp (@TheBlogfines) October 7, 2025 It was the 11th time Imanaga has given up multiple homers this season, and you have to go back two full months to find a start in which Imanaga did not give up at least one home run. His 23 homers allowed since the All-Star break is obviously the most in baseball, and by SIX. Like Matthew Boyd, I wonder if Shōta Imanaga was also just wearing down this year:
