Does WGN have any commercials that are not holdovers from last year?

Easy GIDP thrown into the dugout by Baez. 3-1, 1 out.

Following gamecast but why was that an earned run?  Even if you can't assume the DP the guy scored on the error, no?

Chad Wallach homer in the 4th, 3-2. Cubs offense has been in shutdown mode since the end of the first.

Scoring is that runner would have been on third absent the error and then would have scored on the groundout to 2B by next batter.

Darvish is so frustrating to watch. He clearly has great stuff, but he just can’t seem to put it together.

That's a message that's worth repeating though.

Baez heads up play by Javy.

Baez knocks in Rizzo on a bloop double, 4-2. Baez to third on a bad throw.

A lot of hard contact this inning—Bryant double, Zobrist and Rizzo would’ve had homers on a lot of nights in a lot of ballparks (based on contact according to Statcast, both are hits most of the time), and Baez hit a ball about 450 feet that was a few feet foul.

5-2 after the umpire misses a call at second where Contreras was very obviously safe.

Does it seem as if Darvish is using the cutter a lot more this year?

80 pitches through 5.  What do you do, Joe?

Darvish got himself in trouble again in the 5th by not throwing strikes to Castro, who we all know is allergic to walks. I'm almost ready for the Cubs to go sign several 85 mph junk ballers just so they have a few strike throwers.
