Apparently, no one told Chip how to pronounce Campana's name.  Seems like a professional announcer would take the 5 minutes it takes to learn how to pronounce the names of the opposition players before the game.

Chip - It's not pronounced Kum-ponna

Hanson gets a bigger strike zone against Castro than Samardzija got against Freeman in the top of the inning.

Apparently the Cubs need a new scouting report on Heyward. 

Can't believe that one barely got out...on a different night, that one may have landed on a rooftop.

LaHair crushes one, but Bourn runs it down.  Wind isn't blowing, but the ball isn't carrying at all for some reason.  Heyward's ball should've been on the street, and LaHair's may have come close to the scoreboard on a different day.

Cubs get 2 on with 1 out, then Barney grounds into his 5th DP of the year.  If you're going to be as light a hitter as Barney, you can't afford to GIDP all the time.

Bourn beats out a routine grounder to Castro.  No error, but it should've been an out.

Samardzija is already over 45 pitches and hasn't gotten an out in the 3rd.  Looks like the bullpen is going to have to cover several innings again tonight.

Apparently, Chip considers an AB to be good if you fall to 0-2, then foul off the third pitch.

Bourn runs down a Soto ball that looked like it was going into the gap.  It's another ball that would've been gone on a different day.

11 pitch walk for DeJesus.  That was nice.

Campana doubles.  2 on, 2 out.  Chip still doesn't know how to say Campana.

This time, LaHair's ball leaves the park.  1-1.

And Stewart does nothing to help his unlucky BABIP.

14 of the Cubs 17 homers have been solo HR.
