And he ended up swinging at a pitch way out of the strike zone.

These were our seats last year when we went to Wrigley;

Sammons has had some good outings in his role.

It’s kind of heartwarming that the crowd comes to their feet for Baez

He’s not got cheered like that in Detroit, that’s for sure.

Meadows really has taken charge in CF ever since that misplay several games ago. It's like "get outta my way, I got it"

Isn't he another one with subpar numbers in the minors? These guys aren't supposed to be effective. But shhhh, don tell them. Lol

I like Javy and hope he can turn it around because I appreciate that he’s not sulked or made noise. If he were a white guy with a mustache they would say he’s grinding and battling thru it.  I’ve not seen him dog it or fail to hustle.

Rotation. Group Effort. Now, “Rotation.”

[IdahoBert]

We need a DP. 

[Tigermojo]

Great play by Vierling.

Trivia question...I guessed George Kell. I looked it up and Kell only had 78 career home runs. 12 was his most in any year.

When I was a little kid our milkman in Auburn IN – yeah I know this is the old days when there actually were milkmen – and our milkman was Wayne Schurr who had been in 30 games as a reliever for the Cubs in 1964. When I finally got his baseball card for an autograph, which I admit was not hard to do because they printed a lot of the marginal ballplayers, I never saw him again because he had been moved to a different milk route, and he never pitched more than that one season for the Cubs.

Speedy Dillon Dingler!

[VegasTiger]

That was a nasty pitch to Meadows

 

[Tigermojo]

Can't cash in the triple...

[IdahoBert]

It’s pretty disappointing they couldn’t get the runner in from third with no outs heck. 

[Adullin]

Wow lead off triple and nothing 

[buddha]

come on carpenter!

it looked like tork...

[Tigermojo]

MTS has infiltrated Wrigley.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Not exactly a Tork bomb, but ok.

[IdahoBert]

Was really hoping they were going to tie it up there so we could have that nailbiting extra inning victory. 

[Adullin]

That's not good 

[IdahoBert]

At least Baez didn’t strike out on that pitch that was 4 feet out of the strike zone

[IdahoBert]

Top of the 9th. Last chance… Tork up…

[IdahoBert]

Tork double 4-4 2nite
