This is criminal. Why does this always happen to Seiya?

That was a bad call but I wish guys would just fight that one off sometimes. Don't like leaving it in the ump's hands.

And of course they don’t call a strike that was actually a strike in the same area Seiya was rung up

It's great that we have a defensive replacement at 3B for the guy who has no offensive ability whatsoever.

[PackLandVA]

Random observation: with a batting helmet on, Miguel Vargas looks like Mike Giancarlo Stanton.

As long as it's not past first (or third) base, it being foul or fair is not final yet. Works the other way too. It was pretty clever by the Sox 1B

Yeah, definitely clever from the Sox 1B. It’s just something you don’t see for years and then it comes up in a play and you go googling 150+ years of rules lol. 

[Hunter]

LOL at this ump.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Hodge warming up? Hope he can lock it down

[DYMNO]

This ump is horrendous.

[PackLandVA]

Nico with RISP =

Lopez is overdue, let's get one.

[gflore34]

Swung at ball 4 - I think - guess I can't blame him with this umpire.

[DYMNO]

I can’t wait for Shaw to be back and the revolving door leading to an empty room at 3B to be over and done with.

Automatic calls of balls and strikes can't get here fast enough.

[JHBulls]

Can we just get Matt Shaw back? Brujan is horrendous. Turner is not good. Nicky Lopez has a face for acting, so he should probably go and do that and leave the Cubs alone. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Can we trade Lopez to Japan for Wisdom?

I hate these base hits in the 9th.

They should bring back Madrigal or wisdom. They cant possibly subtract runs from what we currently have.

Madrigal is likely out for the year with a shoulder injury.

And that’s why it’s called the windy city,

[PackLandVA]

Nice to get the first two in the series as they’ll most likely lose tomorrow. Because Sundays come ever seven days.

[soccer10k]

Good to get the series win, but it would be nice to sweep one of the crappy teams on the schedule.

[gflore34]

Even with this clown of an umpire the Cubs drew 11 BB's not too bad.

[CubinNY]

Good teams should beat bad ones!

Yes, but bad teams do win 1/3 of the time. Happy for the first two, but really could uses a sweep.
