Adames is plenty familiar with Shota. Was sitting on that.

Ian Happ has a 110 wRC+ since the All-Star Break. He's been fine.

Lol come on you cannot tell me Happ has done anything this season to be hitting 3rd. He’s been bad all season long. Got incredibly lucky in that first inning with a weak seeing-eye ground ball.

Nice Dansby

[JHBulls]

Heaven yeah!

Maybe instead of a low scoring game between these two starters, it'll be one of those 10-9 games.

Just hope the Cubs get the 10

Oracle supposed to be a tough park to homer at but the giants been doing it all series.

FWIW the ball tends to travel better in day games for most of these west coast parks (Petco, Dodger, Oracle)

A 123 inning. You can do that?

3rd time in the last 10 innings the Cubs managed to prevent the Giants from scoring!

Happ batting third…amazing lol

He's been our 2nd best hitter since the ASB with a 110 wRC+

Can't get criticized for poor decisions if you get kicked out early in the game 

[Banedon]

Why did he argue instead of challenging?  Had they already lost a challenge and I missed it?  

EDIT: oh, he was arguing the strike.

He was arguing balls and strikes, not the steal

Never argue balls and strikes with someone who doesn't know where the zone is.  Just like arguing with a Sicilian when death is on the line.

[Cubbies1996]

This umpire is god awful. Holy horsefeathers. 

[Rex Buckingham]

If Dansby was running hard he's safe

[Eeyore]

🤡🤡🤡

Bats are still absurdly useless I see.

[squally1313]

7 hits (1 double, 2 HRs) in basically 5 innings against a very good pitcher

[We Got The Whole 9]

Gotta add a few more and avoid the sweep comfortably please 

[BigSlick]

Cubs have  4 run barrier problem. They simply struggle immensely cresting the hill to 4 runs (and, presumably the runs beyond that) - once they can get to 4 runs they're usually ok. But boy howdy its damn hard for them to reach it since the ASB. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

What is this pitch selection? Jesus.

[Gjfificifjdej]

“Fly ball pitcher” is just code for “gives up nukes on a regular basis”

[BigSlick]

Oh my god it’s like an exact replay of game 1

[Geographyhater8888]

I hate Adames.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Jesus Christ.
