Buntin with Happ is a choice

He did that in his own. No way that was called from the bench. Terrible play.

[We Got The Whole 9]

You horsefeathers idiots don't deserve to win when you do horsefeathers moronic horsefeathers like that. Try batting LH at all times or something, Ian. Nice AB.

heart of the order up for the third time against one of the worst pitchers in mlb…four pitch inning

Bunting with our #3 hitter, with our best base stealer on, with nobody out down 1 to a terrible team... I don't know whether to hope Ross is incompetent and called for it or Happ is stupid and did it on his own

Terrible idea. 3rd baseman was back. He probably thought he had an easy hit if he got it down. Still, TERRIBLE DECISION.

The pressure of this playoff race is getting to Ross

[SparkMark1]

I went to use the restroom and missed half an inning?  What the heck.

You didn't actually miss anything

The pressure of trying to hit non-four seams is really getting to the Cubs hitters. Blach just ties them into knots with junk. 

[Andy]

Other teams just hit home runs like it's something mortal beings can do. How do they do it?

[UMFan83]

Better score at least 1 here

[DYMNO]

I know that expectations for this team were fairly low before the start of this season, but man, this sucks. Injuries are unfortunate and always untimely, but the ridiculous decisions on lineup construction and in-game strategies have been mind-numbingly dumb and have substantially contributed to the implosion. So disappointing. 

[UMFan83]

Ok that was good 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

P Wizzy!!

[Rex Buckingham]

It's about dang time.  To give Ross credit, Wisdom has been used very well in the 2nd half

[Andy]

Unbelievably stupid managing to let Blach face Wisdom a 3rd time. Glad we made them pay!

You mean like Wisdom just did?

Wisdom has indeed done well when in spot duty. Yes, Ross does deserve some credit for that. 

[DYMNO]

Let’s hope they don’t take their foot off the gas.

[CubinNY]

Wisdom!

[UMFan83]

Now we get to play our favorite game: how the heck are we going to get 9 outs while nursing a small lead?

[UMFan83]

Fall of Tauchman

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Starting Canario to pinch hit with Tauchman and then pinch run with PCA in the 6th feels like being a bit too fine
