The defense is trying to screw Hicks

Finally got Duran to miss the fastball. This inning could have been disastrous if he let him get on.

WTF Quero

Schriffen trying to jinx the hell out of Hicks

I guess it's just not possible for Kay to get through 5 innings with any kind of ease.

It's because they don't have the strike zone on the broadcast tonight

This umpire sucks. These misses are not even close.

How did that get out?

It's 105 in Austin today and it feels like 115. That's gonna be the weather for the next week and a half at least.

Righties have looked very good against Alexander. Lefties, not so much.

That stadium in general kind of sucks. I've been to their old stadium and the new one. While the old one sucked during the hot summers, it at least had some character. This new stadium feels so dull, dim, and lifeless.

It's getting to the point where I hope we don't score double digits so we actually score something the next game.

He's got other issues too, but his sweeper/slider reminds me of Crochet's before they made him basically ditch it for a cutter.

You can't tell with how they've played this inning, but they have the best defense in baseball.

The Cubs kind of cheaped out. But maybe cheaping out actually saved them from giving Tucker a bunch of money. He's been worse than Bregman this year. At least Tucker is under 30 and has a good chance of bouncing back. Hard to see that coming from Bregman.

Cubs are absolutely imploding. Thanks for nothing.

His 2nd half struggles last year should have been a warning that he wouldn't be the player he was. Fenway briefly revived his bat, but then he struggled even with the green monster in left. Now he's coming out of his prime looking like a league average hitter with a decent glove at 3rd.

I didn't realize how bad Jansen has been this year. Pretty much every non-Diaz free agent reliever this past off-season has been bad. Fairbanks, Jansen, Devin Williams, Helsley, and Dominguez have all been differing levels of bad. Only Luke Weaver and Robert Suarez have been good.

Bregman sucks

Now this might go to extras

They IBB'd him. It'll be up to Suzuki.

Man on 3rd and 1 out.

It's all the Yankees' fault. Some credit to Cade Cavalli as well for telling Contreras to sit down.

I would probably die trying to eat that thing too.

This is by far the toughest pitching matchup of the series and we won convincingly.
