Eh, I get the argument, but he clearly went out of the baseline to avoid the tag.  Just more stupid baserunning.

He took one step to Arenado's left.

A rule's a rule but it seems odd to me that players are just supposed to let themselves get tagged and any effort to avoid it is illegal.

[DYMNO]

This team sucks.

If he stayed in Baseline he runs into Arenado ( he didn't have ball yet) and then probably called safe for interference.

The Cubs now lead the MLB in most outs on the bases this year (25), most outs committed at 2B this year (9), most outs committed at home this year (9), 4th most outs committed at 1B this year (4)

Theyre doing a decent job of avoiding committing outs at 3B this year though, just 15th in the league.

Ian Happ is unwatchably awful

[Andy]

David Ross thinks watching this team is funny whether he admits it or not

He might be the only one enjoying it.

They could avoid it by not getting picked off second base? 😂

I’m just being obnoxious now

[Rex Buckingham]

that was a Javy Baez at-bat from Yan

[Andy]

Jesus, Gomes, just don't even take a bat up there if that's what you're going to do

[DYMNO]

LOL Gomes. 

[abuck1220]

lol gomes. hang em up dude. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

I am ready for a new catcher or two

[UMFan83]

Washed up Goldschmidt hits his 2nd home run of the night

[Andy]

St. Louis is making the playoffs and from there the usual horsefeathers will take over

[KatJ]

Did I see the Cardinals pitcher touch Herrera on the privates at the end if the 3rd inning? I’ve seen butt swats and I’m sure that ball stung, but uh no.

[UMFan83]

If the Cubs don’t get their horsefeathers together like overnight they could find themselves way out of the division race by Thursday. 
 

Yes giving up on an entire 4 game series before it starts is ridiculous, and I’m not actually lol, but man with how this team is playing, it’s a possibility.

Maybe if that happens Jed can disabuse himself of the notion that some secret manager sauce will make this team good

[JHBulls]

It’s ridiculous how little margin for error the starters have thanks to the hitters and bullpen. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

The rare 5 strike, 1 ball walk to Gorman

[UMFan83]

Careless error by Morel opening up the possibility for a big inning by St Louis

Not sure it even matters since he’s signed for another 4 years and $42m after this year.
