  1. Rizzo the Rat

    Maddon once again said on the pregame show that they need to “score some points.” Whatever. Maybe they should try that instead of scoring runs.

    Some of these pitches are strikes, but they get called balls because they miss their spots and Willson stabs at them.

    I’m honestly a little baffled how umpires miss obvious strikes just because the catcher moves his glove a bit.

    If Strop, Edwards or Rondon gave up that homer, everyone would point to that as evidence of how bad they are.

    Perkins:
    I hope Justin Turner turns an ankle going back into the dugout.

    He can step on Chris Taylor’s ankle and have both of them turn their ankles.

    Maddon is doing his “I only trust one reliever” thing he did with Chapman, only Davis is no longer on Chapman’s level.

    So Bosio has a bum ankle and he is wearing a boot. The Cubs pitchers must not like him much since they keep having him come out to mound.

    I’ll somehow be less mad if the Cubs lose after letting Davis hit here, just because it’s so bafflingly novel and stupid.

    Davis is going to throw 50+ pitches to try to finish this game. His Nats outing is going to look like a side session.

    Jake showed vintage good Jake. Maybe for the last time. At least we got to see that. Season continues for one more day. I’ll take it.

    In what world does it make sense to have the home plate umpire meet with umpires in the infield and outfield to discuss a potential tipped third strike? That’s even dumber than letting Wade Davis bat in the 9th after throwing 30+ pitches in the 8th. Either the home plate umpire makes the call or you allow replay officials to make it. Nothing else makes any sense at all.

    Perkins:
    I think the Cubs have some experience coming back from a 3-1 deficit in a postseason series.

    But it was 3–0. Fat chance of a Theo Epstein team ever coming back from that in the Championship Series.
