Great AB Eloy. Please make him pay... Rondon? (I know the odds are low)

Totally absurd. Fuck this umpire

Nice! Why didn’t Tim advance though? Either way you love to see it

Wow we are lucky to be down one run. Top of the order now.. please do something

Rondon swinging at ball 4. Just trash. Please get well soon Yoan

And follows it up with an immediate makeup call that was more egregiously wrong

Three hard-hit balls in the first inning but nothing since

Didn’t realize they were so high in BB/game. Swing early in counts is the way they teach their hitters to work for the most part (as well as being the originators of the fly-ball revolution)

This umpire is terrible. He’s gotten a lot of calls wrong and all have been in the Cubs’ favor

McCann too tbh. Completely agree that it’s self-evidently an organization-wide failure, but I would be remiss not to point out that similar organizational philosophies have worked out for teams like the Astros

Good inning Nova. Hoping the top of the order can do something to steak back the momentum after the likely automatic out (gotta love the NL)

I wouldn’t expect anything less lol

Strike 2 call on Yolmer was silly. Still a ridiculously bad AB. I hate the Cubs so much

Ump really squeezing Giolito there

Giolito filthy

Ok.... take Bummer out NGL I enjoyed watching Suzuki get hit tho

Let’s just get out of this inning Bummer. 1.45 ERA still. 3 run lead. Nothing catastrophic yet

Wish Tim could have corralled that- he would have been out at 3rd

Masterful inning by Marshall. He should at least start the 7th

Wow I can’t believe he caught leury’s ball

Yea we got lucky there

Eloy lol he’s from DR

Great day for Eloy so far! 5-2

That was a sweet defensive play from Rondon

...wow I did not see that one coming but awesome! We are probably gonna need some more to hold on to this lead though. Hope we can light Corbin up
