Pirates lead 7-1 in the bottom of the second.

The rain looks like it is a little less than an hour away.  The Cubs best chance might be to let the Pirates keep scoring and hope the game doesn't become official.

The Mercy Rule might kick in before any rain.

There’s a mound visit.  Good way to stall for time.

The fans are getting their ponchos out.

Still 7-1 in the bottom of the fifth.

After Bote’s 1 for 3 and Pederson’s 1 for 4, all of our regulars are hitting above .110! With a whopping two hitting over .210...

This is by far the best stat:


RISP:

6-57 (.105) with an OPS of .355

That is not a typo.

The second worst in baseball is .509

If you doubled the Cubs' OPS they'd still be below the ML average.

In their defense, there's no way they could have seen that coming...

Okay, here we go, the third, final, and rubber game of the series.

Mike Borzello, #Cubs associate pitching, catching and strategy coach, has been ejected from the game.

He got tossed after Bryant was hit by a pitch in the 4th.

I can feel the acid beginning in my throat, working it’s way into my stomach, the gurgling has begun, then the acid will move into the intestine.  I keep telling myself Dog don’t get your bowels in an uproar over this stuff, you’re too old and you have to remember to eat some fiber now and then.

It would be best if Bryant and Kimbrel keep producing while the Cubs keep showing they lack the talent to compete. Will make it more likely to get more from the upcoming roster dumps.

Pittsburgh has three wins.  In last place. All against the Cubs.  Horrible.
