Rizzo gives the Cubs the lead in the 9th. 3-2

Refuse to lose.

Didn't take much time either, Bryant double to lead off the 9th, Rizzo HR for the lead.

Holy **** those were brutal takes by Harper.

Zimmerman trying to end it with those swings. Couldn't touch any of those pitches, however.

Certainly some gray area, especially so if Parra was silent. At the same time, Story's reaction speaks volumes. That's not just a 'we were both just hustling and I hope my teammate is alright' posture; that's a 'holy **** is this embarrassing, what am I even doing' posture. His "guilt" is written all over him and how he reacted to the play.

That's a lot to read into the reaction of someone that just hit a teammate and that teammate got hurt. Dexter reacted the same way when he and Schwarber collided.

Leadoff walk... scores to tie it up at 3.

Tempoarily, at least. Whoops. Rondon lets one get away.

Rendon watches 3 strikes in a row and it's bonus baseball.

Oh Bob Davidson, if you'd called any of those strikes on Harper that you just did on Rendon, the game would be over already. Onto bonus baseball in DC


EDIT: Cubs TV just replayed the pitch that was ball 4 to Harper and it was the exact same pitch that was strike 3 to Rendon. No difference in location. Only difference in batter handedness.

The pitch to Harper might've been more of a strike, too. I'm guessing it's because the Harper pitch was inside and the Rendon pitch was outside.

Well, Joltin Joe Maddon's decision to let Cahill bat for himself in a 4-3 game with 1 out and Addison Russell standing at 2B doesn't look so hot after the Cubs blow another late lead with Cahill on the mound looking bad while doing it.

Re: 6/13 - 6/26 Game Discussion Thread

Well, that hurts. Tough to come from behind in the 9th, go ahead again in extras, and still lose.

I see Clayton the Cyborg is up to his usual tricks again.

His one "walk" came on what is probably one of the season's worst called balls.

Nice to see the Astros take both games in St. Louis.

Take a look at Will Harris' numbers this season, if you get a chance. While his scoreless inning streak ended last week, he's allowed 18 hits this season and all 18 are singles.

In a very tumultuous first half of the season for Houston, he's been fantastic all along.

I saw that and just shook my head. I dunno what the umpire was thinking.
