Waiting til later in game so the pitchers will have less opportunity to give it all back

😅😏

Damn, 2 inches from breaking the game wide open

Yes. 

[UMFan83]

Contact play fails again.  I cant believe they tried to go home there instead of the double play.

[PeanutPunch33]

The Cubs have made this interesting enough for me to start box score watching again.  Looks like the Cards will lose, the Pirates are losing to the Dodgers.  Could be a great evening if the Mets and Braves both lose too.

Question; wasn’t Lopez a pretty sought after closer at the deadline just 2-3 yrs ago?

[UMFan83]

Doesn’t look like Lopez has it tonight

[Tryptamine]

Why Lopez is a trusted set up man is beyond me. Yes the results have been great, but it was obviously a complete fluke. A sub 7K/9, his lowest HR/9, highest LOB%, etc.

I know Reinsdorf is cheap but this is just too much. Throw the bat in the trash ffs.

Nah, that was weird. The last two batters suddenly his stuff looked so much better, particularly that slider.

Here we go with the Neris show

[Tryptamine]

Just once Hector can we have a 1-2-3 inning, please?

[Tryptamine]

Well this is a first for me. 

[JHBulls]

Well, this is a new one, 😂 

[cl smooth]

Two stupid people jumped on to the field. One hurt himself and had to be carted off.

Phew, I was hoping that wasn’t you 😂

[Tryptamine]

Neris, ffs

[JHBulls]

How the hell does this even need a review, Hector? It was an easy catch to make. That should be the first out of the inning. 

[UMFan83]

Dude Neris is just obsessed with getting himself into trouble

[UMFan83]

WHY DIDNT THEY CHALLENGE?

[Tryptamine]

How does that not get challenged?

[Cubbies1996]

Any reason the cubs couldn’t challenge that?

I would be a red splat on the field if I jumped from section 552.

The only thing I can think of is that Counsell waited too long to ask for the challenge. There’s no other logical reason
