Nice job by Baez responding to the almost HBP with a hustle double.

I mean that's not even close.  Shame on the ump.

Ump was in a terrible position to see that. Embarrassing.

Baez's base running this inning was ill-advised, but he made it work. Amazing.

I'm so confused, the Cubs were 0-3 with RISP but 2 runs scored.  Am I supposed to be angry or upset.  Especially since the last out didn't score a run, but was smoked by Schwarber.

As long as opponents just keep making three fielding mistakes per inning, RISP hitting really will be meaningless.

Baez is a triple away from the cycle in the best triples park in baseball, and he'll most likely get two more ABs. If he hits one to the wall, he's not stopping until he's on third base.

Cubs all the way up to 23 in MLB in RISP average.  If they could only face Luke Weaver more often.  15th in runs scored with RISP.....

Russell single, Heyward triple, and it's 6-3. Gray pulled for Shaw, and La Stella will hit for Hendricks.

Eh, a dumb Weaver comment thrown in.

Jeezus, the guy's ERA is a run and half lower than Darvish's at 1/50th of the cost and that's where we're going?

Now you distracted me from Heyward's 4th extra-base hit this year. Thanks.

Javy knocks in 2, 9-3 Cubs. Wow, he's hot.

Dear God somebody needs to fan Javy or pour some water on him or something.

Matter of time until that happened. Schwarber's been hitting the ball too well.
