That’s a really generous base hit ruling on Madrigal’s throw. 

I feel like scorers were basically told this year 'it's only an error if a little leaguer could've done it' as some backdoor way of killing off the error entirely

[Derwood]

77mph exit velo

[Irrelevant Dude]

Yep. You can't give this team extra at bats.

[UMFan83]

horsefeathers you Matt Olson

[Jfoley89]

Mike Tauchman might be my favorite story this year

[mfcubs22]

This braves offense is ridiculous. 5IP, 3ER with our ace feels okay

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Official scorers hate Steele. Error on Madrigal.

[mfcubs22]

Wow. Can’t believe Happ scored on that without a throw

Belli coming up big again.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Every time the Braves have scored, the Cubs have come right back.  This team is fun to watch right now.

[Tim]

We may actually be pretty good.

[Derwood]

Bellinger is going to get PAID this winter

Happ was running on the pitch but I have to wonder if Acuña slipped or something, the real-time or replay didn't really show him.  That wasn't so far in the corner that Happ should've scored standing.

[muntjack]

Yeah, the Cubs offense isn't far behind the Braves.

But the advanced metrics.

[Tim]

The Reds and Brewers are both losing, too

Yeah, didn’t realize he was running initially. Even so, without even a throw was pretty surprising. The rain probably helped a lot there.

Man, if we could steal this series things start to become very interesting. 

[mfcubs22]

Jeimer!!

[Irrelevant Dude]

I like this Jeimer guy.

[ToolDRT]

Jeimer! 

[CubinNY]

Yeah, baby. Base hit them to death. 

[SOFNR]

What a response. Hell yah Candelario. 5-3.

Jeimer pulling a Castellanos with less DONGS.

[chibears55]

I really hope they bring Bellinger and Candelario back next season, add a couple starters and bullpen arms and they could at the very least win the division easily
