Corners have been a challenge for the Cubs organization?  Really? 

Third base, yes.  But the Cubs have had plenty of long term very good first basemen.

Yea, weird comment. Even Carlos Peña gave us a 2.6 WAR season.

Taillon had set down 12 straight before that single.

[Hot Sauce]

That’s an excellent start for Taillon.

Got ourselves a good ol fashion pitchers duel here, this one literally gonna come down to a mistake and or the bullpen. 

[UMFan83]

That was a horrifically bad call at 1B by the umpire holy hell

[abuck1220]

that call about as embarrassing as swanson’s night at the plate

[JHBulls]

That is so bad ump.

Apparently that guy was umping my son's game earlier.

It’s being lazy, just because there is a review system in baseball.

[abuck1220]

it was swanson’s destiny to make two outs this inning.

[We Got The Whole 9]

So horsefeathers annoyed 

[Hot Sauce]

Seems like every well hit ball the Cubs have had tonight has been right at a defender.

[UMFan83]

Sweet end the inning as quickly as possible to give Nola a shot to pitch another inning. Probably done at 99 pitches but was at 96 with 0 outs

[chibears55]

Let hope the bullpen is on tonight,  gotta believe the bats can scratch another run in this game. 

[CubinNY]

They are nailing the ball right at people 

[Illiterate Scholar]

That PCA ball seemed like it would've been below the wind enough to carry more. Dang

[Illiterate Scholar]

Tough spot for Pressly here after whatever knee issue he had going on. I was expecting Merryweather because of that.

[chibears55]

Game right here imo, hold them scoreless and Cubs top of order will rally for a run.

[muntjack]

I'll just never feel comfortable with a closer who doesn't miss bats.  

[chibears55]

Wow, the way Happ was reaching i thought it would be long enough 

[Irrelevant Dude]

How did that not get in the basket?

[Cubs420psd]

Holy poop that was close

[Hot Sauce]

That could not have been any closer without dropping in the basket. 😰

[chibears55]

Let get that run now and move on
