Bryant Ks swinging at a pitch nowhere near the zone, second ugly K of the night for him. I hope he's good again next year.

Rizzo Ks looking. Really ugly inning for the Cubs after the Russell single.

They all suck and none of them should play.

Baez K. Zobrist grounder. Contreras K.

The last two days, it looked like they were going back into one of their good run scoring stretches, but they're not doing anything so far tonight against a guy who was struggling to throw strikes early.

Might consider pulling Hamels early and letting Maples and whatever mop this up.

You don't concede a 4-run game in the 4th inning.

Hamels settled in and is dominating since the end of the first inning. But his dysfunctional offense isn't helping him at all.

Bote robbed of a hit on a diving play. Bad hitting + good opposition defense means that you're not going to score many runs.

Appears the lead will be 3 in the loss column with the Cubs needing to win the extra game to keep it from going to 2.

Russell walks. At least he's having a good night.

Almora makes another out. Just play Happ.

I'm betting Hamels has a different catcher next time out.

Hamels threw a lot of really bad pitches in the first inning, Contreras had nothing to do with it. Hamels has been great with Contreras after the first. No reason to blame the catcher.

The supposed good Cubs offense is the problem again tonight. The hitting is dysfunctional, and it's been dysfunctional for two years. Hopefully they address it this offseason.
