Tough loss. Lots of calls that could have gone either way. Strike call earlier in the game, but Rizzo should have been out on 3 pitches in the 9th. the Schwarbs' call was close, but the camera down the line showed that his bat crossed the plate

Lol the Jay's defense is so bad this inning. Take the gift, right?

The crew in the booth legit said, "if you got a few more strike outs, we wouldn’t be hitting into the double plays" Sage wisdom

I agree, but not by the rules unfortunately. The rules are pretty clear about sliding past the bag. Dex did slide cleats up, but he generally stopped at the bag.

I just keep waiting for Holiday to pull something while having to dig all of these balls out of the dirt at 1st

such a big zone tonight for both, and the commentators are talking about the small zone. sometimes i wonder if they are watching the game

Big zone both ways tonight.

Lester should get this win, if the ump gives him more strikes that far out of the zone. Gotta take it though.

I don't get the "happy to be here" segment. Baseball is a weird game, and the Cubs, good young core and all, have obstacles to overcome going forward. Dex could leave. Four of the starters, three of the four in the post season, are on the wrong side of 30. Chapman could go back to the Yankees. The young guys need to keep developing, which is likely but not a given. They need to avoid injuries going forward. Baseball is a hard sport to stay on top. All fans should want the win now, and stop with the "happy to be here."
