Fifth time a charm for Seiya?

It was 3-1 count, he wasn't bunting

I’m aware. It was an indictment of Nicks’s inability to hit a ball past the infield.

[Tryptamine]

Yup, please just lose quickly so the bullpen doesn't get shredded 

[profisme]

Someday it would be nice to see a run score after a leadoff double.  I know that I have gotten to see a Cubs World Series win in my lifetime, but now I've decided to get greedy.

A little Manfred Man practice there a we failed.

[Andy]

I'm trying to think of the last time a legit good Cubs team pissed me off as consistently as these guys do. I think it was probably 2018

Why use Busch in that situation?

Because Amaya is kind of a bad hitter.

But he actually puts it in play

[javy knows my name]

Lol that Busch appearance was atrocious

[JHBulls]

Will be fun seeing the dude on the verge of a heart attack at any time walking it off here.

Over/under on Neris BBs this inning 1.5

Avoiding a strikeout 1 out of 10 times more often doesn't mean he's more likely to score the runner, especially given current form and the fact they're facing an elite RHRP.

Am I the only one a bit surprised they didn't put Bellinger at first after all the switching done?  Wisdom at 3rd, Boni in LF and Bellinger at 1st.

[JHBulls]

Atlanta has sweep written all over it. Just bank this win please.

[Tryptamine]

Of course, check swing hit

We have to win it in extra innings, the only question is how painful this will be and how many relievers we'll burn before it happens

[Tryptamine]

Laff, yup here we go.

[Andy]

Oh, a balk, I was wondering how we'd invent a new way to screw up a game

[profisme]

I will give them credit, they sure are creative in ways to lose games.  Plenty of games this year where I said to myself, "I haven't seen that in a while".

[Tryptamine]

After 4 strikes, a single

[Andy]

That was a great play by Nico

[CubinNY]

Inevitable 

[chibears55]

Neris 😅😅😅

You know he giving 1 up

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I am going to become the joker

[profisme]

I feel an ulcer coming on.  We all know the outcome.
