I believe that six errors is most by a MLB team in a 9 inning game since 2019—when Cubs did it in a game against Braves.

Yeah, unusual to win game when out-homered 4-0 but would be terrible to lose a game when opposing club made 6 errors.

Wow, Dansby with 11 RBI in the DH. What a difference.

Dansby's bundle of hits has his batting average all the way up to .202.  Wasn't sure that he'd see .200 again this season...  OPS has sailed up beyond poor Bregman.

Another funny thing:  Score 10 runs, no runs for the top-5 guys in the order, the only hit by the top-5 was PCA's accidental bunt blooped over Bichette's head.  10 hits and 10 runs by the bottom four guys. 

Crazy game. 

But yeah, 6 errors, unbelievalble.  And Dansby's tie-breaking triple was a miss too, that should have been caught.  Cubs defense is so consistent, sometimes I forget how disadvantaged some of the bad-fielding teams are.

Ramirez is a player. Don't trade him.

Last time the Mets had six infield errors in a game was the 1962 Amazin’ Mets.

Hernandez sounds depressed while gushing about PCA.  Good.  I still hate those 80s Mets.

I believe Marvelous Marv had three of those…

That past/prior rule in MLBs rulebook clearly says PCA was safe.  Even if he rolled over onto his back a foot away from the base and got tagged.  His feet never crossed over to the past side of the bag.

BOOM.  Wrong call.  Ups Suck.

The Cubs are something like 1-30 on various challenges this series. It's almost impossible.

Is this the time to offer something for Peralta?

By all means keep using Maton in crucial spots, it's working great.

Cubs win, Cubs win, Cubs win!  :):)

Thornton with a nice 1-2-3 10th inning, nothing very hard hit.

PCA clutch game-winning double.  Nice win, nice sweep.

Cubs out-homered by the Mets 6-0 last two games and still win both. Gotta like all the unearned runs, thank you.

Cubs sweep season series from Mets 7-0, outscoring Mets 51-24.

Thinking about Ron Santo. He would have enjoyed seeing Cubs dominate the Mets.

Cubs slip past the Cardinals.
