at least Kelly is out of the game? Not that he was going past the 6th anyway

[Rex Buckingham]

if Carrol would have gotten on and scored...

sad that the “rally” consisted of a broken bat blooper, misplayed grounder and a non competitive walk. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Steele has been so dang good down the stretch... get some runs here and get him the W

[abuck1220]

man steele is amazing 

[UMFan83]

Great job today Steele.  95 pitches through 7.  Will he come out for the 8th?  Should have an extra day of rest before his next start.

[UMFan83]

I literally take a piss and theres already 1 out

What I should have done is take a piss when Tauchman gets to 2 strikes so I can miss the first 4-5 foul offs

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is the Cubs offensive strategy to keep hitting the ball as high as possible?

[UMFan83]

Unbelievable

They like to hit it on the ground a lot also.

Scored on a sac fly, a dropped pop fly and  a single during garbage time

[Rex Buckingham]

Merryweather's slider looked awesome that inning

[UMFan83]

Just bring in wisdom and tell him to swing for the fences every pitch

[Irrelevant Dude]

Asking for a friend, is it still legal to hit an extra base hit?

[UMFan83]

0-2 and Adbert gives him 2 pitches right over the heart of the plate. Come on

[soccer10k]

I’m not enjoying this inning so far.

[Rex Buckingham]

Adbert doesn't look quite right

[UMFan83]

This is going to be painful. 2 outs and no one on, now bases loaded 

[UMFan83]

Phew. Somehow some way walk it off. 
 

if there are 2 outs and no one one I want Wisdom hitting for Madrigal lol

[chibears55]

Bottom of order for cubs due up in 9th, dont have much faith in them getting something started, so, it may come down to which top of order is likely to get that run home from 2B in extras..

Hmmmmm🤔🤔🤔
