Rex Brothers is in to pitch; Jake's day is done after 5 innings.

Umpire wants to be seen again, ejects some Met who was yelling at him from the bench.

He's been pretty good with the calls; this latest one appeared to just nick the bottom of the strike zone and was called a strike; the others were just outside the strike zone and were correctly called balls.

I do wish that he, and other umpires, would not be so quick to toss people who disagree with him.

Brothers gets through the inning; headed for the bottom of the sixth.  The Cubs only have two hits in this game, to the Mets' three.

Yeah, he hasn't been bad with his calls. But neither ejection needed to happen. It just looked like an umpire who is seeking attention.

Alonso gets pulled off the bag again and Sogard is safe with an infield hit.

Duffy up to pinch hit.

Duffy hits a perfectly-placed double-play grounder to McNeil and this time both Mets keep their feet on the bases and get the two outs.

No. He also just wants attention, but his ball/strike calls are terrible.

Of all MLB hitters with at least 27 PA's, Sogard is the 7th worst hitter in MLB this year. He brings nothing to this team.
. Tico needs to badmouth more of our guys.

Kimbrel in some trouble in the ninth.

Brandon Nimmo up, bases loaded.  And Kimbrel gets him swinging.  Two outs.

Grounder to first; Rizzo takes it himself, and the Cubs win.

Hopefully giving up a hit doesn't hurt Kimbrel's trade value too much.
