Death, Taxes and Bregman choking in important situations. 

[chibears55]

Up to Nico now to at least tie this up

[Tryptamine]

Ump blows the game tying call. Thanks ump.

[Soul]

WTF Nico?!?

[PeanutPunch33]

why the hell didn't Nico challenge 

[abuck1220]

not watching, but it appears as though Nico failed to challenge the 3-0 pitch, which should have been ball 4 and tied the game?

[soccer10k]

Nico WTF are you doing not challenging that 3-0 pitch?

[chibears55]

WTF nico.. challenge 

 

[Hortonhearsawho]

Nico you idiot you walked and all you had to do was challenge it.

[JHBulls]

If we aren’t out of challenges, that was atrocious from Nico. 

[Andy]

Come on Nico, you have to challenge that horsefeathers 

[profisme]

What a wet fart of an inning that was

[mk49]

How come Nico didn't challenge?  That sucked.

horsefeathers ridiculous. We have 2 challenges left how do you not challenge anything close on a 3-0 count?

We have both of them, I don't believe we've even tried one since the first inning

[chibears55]

That'll probably be their last chance to score 🙄

[Derwood]

CHALLENGE THAT YOU IDIOT

Hoerner blows the game tying missed challenge. Thanks Nico.

 

[Rcal10]

Wow. Have 2 challenges and he doesn’t use it in that situation. WTF!!!!!

[Dfan25]

Use the horsefeathers challenge . You have 2 . That’s the horsefeathers game right there

[Andy]

I have no idea why our hitters are so reticent to challenge close high leverage pitches. Maybe every fan base feels like that but we've seen way too much of it

[PeanutPunch33]

that sequence of events really pisses me off

Ump gives a pitcher who can't throw a strike the benefit of the doubt on a ball that is clearly outside

Cubs have 2 challenges and they don't use one

Just terrible 

[Papa Cub]

Great job, Rea!

Huge missed opportunity there in the sixth! Ugh 😣 

[UMFan83]

See this is why the ABS system as set up is a brilliant move to take blame away from the umpires. The umpire terribly botched a call and everyone is yelling at the hitter. Don’t get me wrong that’s ridiculously bad of Nico but the umpire f’d up more

[abuck1220]

the challenge system has really emphasized to me how like 99% of these guys are the absolute dumbest of jocks. just zero understanding of leverage.
