Can we please just score one more run and win this stupid game?

[Illiterate Scholar]

Our bullpen isn't especially well equipped for extras today. Just win in 9 please.

Is it the wind again? Not watching but, noticed the Cubs have hit quite a hard balls - 100+ Ev, with nothing to show.

If they struggle to score against bad pitching now cause of the wind, it  gonna be much worse come October and against better pitchers.

Commercial breaks>Cubs offense. Longer too.

True enough but, if they keep hitting balls with 100+EV they're going to score some runs.  Not even one of balls is going to be knocked down by wind or at someone.

Cubs xBA is only .239 today. Some good EV's but generally just not a great day, either.

Baseball managers are great. They always want to talk about everything, including the result of the review. Clearly foul, but Counsell still wants a 2 minute meeting with the umpires lol. 

[chibears55]

Curious, had Busch missed the ball and Frazier ended up with a double,  they cant review it, wonder if Counsell would of came out and asked them to confer on it.

He wanted an explanation. You cannot review a fair or foul call in the infield. That is why the Pirates couldn’t ask for a review. He probably wanted to know why the guy closest to the ball was overruled by umpires further away.

Well, there you go then! 🙂

We’ve finally hit a stretch where it feels impossible for the Cubs to string together 2 consecutive hits 

[chibears55]

Up to Tucker here, he gonna pinch hit

[Geographyhater8888]

Pinch hit Tucker if Turner walks?

Never mind

[UMFan83]

Haha I was waiting for Swanson to be thrown out by 20 feet. Now I’ll just enjoy everyone saying we should have sent him if the run doesn’t come home

They'd just put him on. 

[chibears55]

Need a wild pitch 

Cone on Turner

[Eeyore]

I was worried that they were going to send him

[UMFan83]

Come on wild pitch

[Derwood]

Would've wasted Tucker there

[JHBulls]

Fake baseball time. 

 

[UMFan83]

Why is Turner still on this roster? Surely there has to be someone better out there

[soccer10k]

Too bad PCA wasn't running on Nico's hit. He might have scored.
