They got two runs including on an infield hit by a pitcher

Way less egregious than what the Astros did (let a pitcher get off the hook with just 2 runs scoring after loading the bases with none out and being utterly unable to throw for strikes to the point where he threw 25 pitches on the inning and only 6 of them were strikes, 3 of which were because they were put in play)

Stranding runners has been an ongoing theme of the 2017 Cubs. Oakland is the only team in the majors with a worse BA with RISP.

Another thing they do way too often is immediately let their opponent score in the half-inning following the Cubs scoring. :argh:

A Cubs pitcher immediately gives up a home run after the team takes the lead. Grass green, water wet, etc etc.

At least Contreras owns.

In hindsight it seems like a bad idea to throw Kris Bryant an 81 mph change-up down the middle on a 3-1 count. :thunk:

Yes it is.

Willson is cool and good. :swoon:

Nice to see both Chicago baseball teams picking up the slack and doing good things so Chicago sports fans have something to focus on besides how terrible the Bulls front office is at making decisions.
