There's no greater metaphor for the state of the 2017 Cubs than getting Maddux'd by Clayton Richard.

Lester batted for himself but he better not be going back out for the 6th. He's already over 100 pitches, the pen is fresh, and there's no reason to burn our sole (semi) reliable starter.

Boy it feels like that's the third or fourth Davis appearance in a row where he had zero command but somehow got out of it anyway.

Contreras is in left because he's hitting .296/.355/.510 (122 wRC+) in 110 PA's dating back to the series against the Yankees. With Bryant in a mini-slump Willson and Rizzo are arguably the only two functioning bats in the lineup (Heyward was hitting he's still got a scraped up hand) so it makes sense Maddon wants to work him into the lineup even if he's not catching.

Thank you Russell for not stranding a runner before Miggy promptly GIDP'd.

I'm sure stranding the bases loaded and pulling Montgomery for a PH when he was rolling won't come back to bite the Cubs at all, no sir.

So wait who challenged what? Gameday says that the Padres challenged a tag play, despite the call on the field being that Almora was already out? I'm confused.

The Padres pitcher just died on the mound. No idea what happened: he walked Almora and then the trainer came out, felt up his pitching elbow, and pulled him.
