The Cubs are poo poo on the road and they're about to play 11 in a row on the road. Joy.

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:

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.

Addy totally would've tried to stretch that into a triple for the cycle if Bryant weren't ahead of him.

lol did Lackey just hit Stanton intentionally for having the audacity to homer off him? I can only watch via gameday and both pitches were up an in.

Also why is Montero even trying to throw out runners?

Lackey reacted like it wasn't intentional, but knowing Lackey it probably was intentional.
