They said on the SNB broadcast that the Cubs came into the game with just 8 double plays all season.  They’ve had 6 double plays in the 4 games since. 

Binging double plays during a series with the Pirates to get them all out of the way is pretty brilliant if you ask me.

This umpire sucks. 

[javy knows my name]

Rea looks pissed and I would be too. This ump is horseshit

It seems like every game the other teams gets a much larger strike zone than the Cubs . Davis should have never reached base and Skenes is getting 3 ft off the outside corner to righties . 

[Derwood]

So does Boog just not do Cubs games anymore?

Man I hope.

This is why you needed to win yesterday, Skenes is just too good.

 

Thanks Dansby!

We may just see this month how much they're missing Steele and how bad or good the pitching they have overall..

Hitters are gonna come down from their hot start, so they're going to need to see the pitchers step it up a bit.

Starters gotta get more QS and the bullpen gonna have to start holding leads more.

I would put the blame more on Berti than Swanson . Even if Swanson gets that ball it’s most likely an infield hit . If Berti makes a routine play , Mccutchen never gets to the plate there .

Dansby is the Mansby.

[Dfan25]

Wind must be blowing hard in that direction . 

[Dfan25]

Kelly is right . This ump sucks 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Very welcome sight from Tucker

[PackLandVA]

King Tuck!

[chibears55]

[Dfan25]

I approve Tucker getting hot again .

Glad to see someone get rung up. You can’t stay silent when he’s not even calling the game the same way. 

[PackLandVA]

DING! DING!! DING!!!

[We Got The Whole 9]

3 dongs running a train on Paul

[Dfan25]

That’s a  good 3-0 swing 

[chibears55]

He had been lucky so far . Cubs have gotten some good swings against him today .

[chibears55]

Kelly even when he not playing sparked the offense 😅
