horsefeathers hell, I’ll never not get pissed when a runner from 3rd with 0 outs doesn’t get home

They really going to leave the tying run on 3B after getting him there with no outs

This is so stupid. Score the tying run ffs. 

Offense is pretty meek tonight with runners on. Lucky to have 2

[Dfan25]

Awful 

[chibears55]

WTF

[BKHoo]

Swanson is an embarrassment with RISP. 

[PeanutPunch33]

A bit disappointing to only walk away with 2

[DYMNO]

Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.

I can’t wait until Amaya is back, the Cubs get Suarez and Nico/Dansby become our 8/9 hitters /dream 

[Cubbies1996]

Beating a dead horse here but Dansby still has no right to be hitting 5. Put him in Nico’s spot for God’s sake. 

[Dfan25]

That was big . Pretty sure Vogt will go to Smith very early in this one . Don’t want to be behind when that happens . He is disgusting

[gflore34]

Bibbe up to 70 pitches, they'll get to him for at least, the tying run, if not more.

I don’t understand why PCA didn’t try to steal much earlier. Maybe they got de ja vu from all the pickoffs yesterday lol

I thought that was weird too, especially with Dansby’s ability to hit into double plays. But hey, the analytics must’ve said something else 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I haven't looked up the stats but I'm guessing the Guardians are good at controlling the running game.  They got him last night, they looked like they caught him leaning 1-2 times, they threw at the right times (like before the 2-2 to Dansby).  He still probably should have went earlier but I understand why it might have been tougher than it looks.

Most likely to keep the hole open for Busch

Dansby is so bad with RISP, the Cubs were actually hoping he would GIDP and at least ge the run home.  If it was 2nd and 3rd they could have gone home with the eventual grounder.  Or he wouldn't have put the ball in play because that would have been a productive out with RISP.

[JHBulls]

Most Matt Shaw base hit ever. 

[JHBulls]

Lol.

Or not.

[Jason Ross]

Shaw has the 6th worst BABIP to xBABIP in baseball. He deserved a little luck there. 

[chibears55]

Gonna need another big hit by Zuki here

No analytic will ever convince me that laying down a bunt isn't a smart baseball move in some situations.  I hope they don't horsefeathers around in October when it matters 

[DrCub]

Zuk!!!!!

[UMFan83]

Seiya an RBI machine
