Chili must be so pissed to see all these runs coming on dongs when they could be going the opposite way for sexy singles

Looks like the Reds are back to sucking again.

 

They never really stopped sucking; that Cubs just sucked harder during that series.

I have a rules question... Something I never thought about before. What is the ruling if it is an infield fly situation, but the ball drops in fair territory before 1B or 3B and then roles foul?

 

The call umpires make is “infield fly, if fair.” When it lands it is fair, but then it goes foul. So if it wasn’t an infield fly situation the result would be a foul ball.

So, with today's results the Cubs have SEVEN players with 2.0 WAR or more in less than 81 games.

Found it.

 

When it seems apparent that a batted ball will be an Infield Fly, the umpire shall immediately declare "Infield Fly" for the benefit of the runners. If the ball is near the baselines, the umpire shall declare "Infield Fly, if Fair." The ball is alive and runners may advance at the risk of the ball being caught, or retouch and advance after the ball is touched, the same as on any fly ball. If the hit becomes a foul ball, it is treated the same as any foul. If a declared Infield Fly is allowed to fall untouched to the ground, and bounces foul before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball. If a declared Infield Fly falls untouched to the ground outside the baseline, and bounces fair before passing first or third base, it is an Infield Fly.
