          I don't see how he gets anyone out. The ball looks like it just floats in there.

          Who was Torres just yelling at? He looked pissed about something.

            How on Earth was Rizzo safe?

            He definitely wasn't

              Weird decision to even try to run home for Rizzo. Normally you expect them to try to spin 2, but in a 5-3 game in the 10th, they are coming home every time.

              Pretty bad baserunning this game. Schwarber trying to steal 3rd with 2 outs and the pitcher due up. Martin running right into the tag to give Milwaukee an easy try at the 4-2 DP.

                Yeah not the best decision.. you either go on contact, or you don't. Too short of a throw to try to go when the guy makes the tag.

                  I think it's fair to say this strike zone has been a work in progress all night long.

                    Magic number now at 6. Cubs 4.5 up on MIL and 5 up on STL. Cubs can clinch by the end of the weekend although I doubt that will happen.

                        Damnit Milwaukee! I was watching that game and cheering hard for the Brew Crew. They gotta win the next 3 games.

                        BTW I like that Sogard guy. Anyone who wears glasses gets a + in my book.

                          And just like that, the Cardinals are 1 1/2 games behind the Rockies for the 2nd wildcard.

                          10 games left.

                            If the Cards make it in then that voodoo magic is working overtime!

                            Who would've thought the Cardinals would be making a push for the playoffs after how badly they played for a good chunk of the year?

                              I certainly didn't.

                              But here we are playing meaningful baseball in September.

                                Saying it like "narrative" makes it seem like it's a manufactured or non-existent issue. But, Bryant's stats have been really bad in those situations this season until now. He's still batting .159 in high leverage situations, .271 in medium leverage, and .324 in low leverage. Batting .300 with nobody on base and .235 with RISP.

                                Maybe it's just a 1-year anomaly, or maybe he's approaching these situations a little different than before, or maybe he's seeing really tough pitchers in certain situations. Whatever the case, I'll gladly take him smacking more go ahead homers in extra innings.

                                It would be neat for you guys to get in and knock off the Dodgers (certainly a history of that) and to have a rivalry NLCS assuming the Cubs get in and can handle Washington.
