3 runs is cool, but we had bases loaded no outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs, and failed to score a run in both situations.

Baby steps 😅

The runner at 3rd should have gone on contact. As soon as the baseball was caught the fielder was running to 2nd and then would have needed to throw home. Very difficult to accomplish all of that before the run is scored. 

Wouldn't the runner at 3rd need to go back to 3rd once the ball was caught?

The Cubs getting BORP production from Hendricks rest of way would be a nice little boost

Yes, quite obviously

Jhbulls is still learning.

Oh Kyle 

[JHBulls]

Today has been vintage Kyle Hendricks. In fact his last appearance was very good as well.

[LBiittner]

2 on 1 out. This is when Morel usually screws up

[We Got The Whole 9]

I'm not sure I pitch to Ramos here

Not learning per se as it was a massive brain fart in the moment.

If we had a ss?

I was giving u the benefit of doubt

Felt like a pretty tailor-made DP there, Dansby.

This is why a team with ridiculously good SP is 4 games under .500. That and the pen. Not a ton of variance between this team being 10 games over .500 vs 4 games under TBH

Not watching, but I hope Kyle got a nice ovation coming off the field.  Really nice to see a good outing from him.

I'm not sure why he didn't throw to nico?

[chibears55]

Swanson needed to toss that ball to Nico there, not sure what he was thinking.

Yeah he would have had a better chance for sure. A little over-zealous, maybe he misjudged the roll.

I think dansby had to take 4 steps to reach 2nd. That's too many against a speedy runner going down 1st

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Busch is now 3rd in 1B wRC+, behind only Freeman and Harper

Yep. Had several chances to put the game away and messed them up. Now need to rely on Hector and company to get 10 outs with only a 2 run cushion. What inning do we blow the lead?
