That looked caught in real time until the ball was rolling on the warning track.

Horrible send.

I agree with Elise...not going to get many opportunities against Miller.

Also, Elise is great in the booth

 

[Skyh13]

if the wind was blowing out I have no idea how that managed to not leave the yard.

Also, I’m not entirely convinced that Dansby didn’t sneak his hand in there on that terrible send.

 

[NorthCyd]

That was awesome!

Ya. I guess I can respect that point. But he was out by so much.

 

[cyfanatic13]

The only minor issue I have with the Dansby send was there being no outs, but I can’t believe the ball didn’t hit him.

I also can’t believe Seiya’s ball didn’t go out. I thought it was onto Waveland off the bat.

But let’s ******* go! Someone else beat the Brewers please

 

[ProStateCubs]

That is two really good back to back wins where you beat two teams with Elite Bullpens against your depleted pitching staff. Well they got me to buy back in. I am ready to be hurt again

 

[Clonefan32]

I'm always pro-send on about anything. Requires a perfect throw, perfect tag, etc. I'd rather you take the chance on that, as opposed to assuming you will have another opportunity. That's especially true against Miller.

I didn't have an issue with it either. Guy in left is known for his defense but he'd been sitting for 2 1/2 hours. That's a send 100 times out of 100. Dansby did a fantastic job getting inside and making the kid throw around him and he did it. Sometimes you just tip your cap.

Not sure how many of you saw this story but apparently our journeyman catcher in Iowa touched 95 mph and had 2 innings of scoreless relief

Cubs' Best Hope for Pitching Help Might Be...Christian Bethancourt? -

Apparently he has pitched some cleanup in the majors before too hitting the 90's on his fastball

I agree. Was it in the glove and came out? It was hard to see what actually happened.

 

[RoseClone]

Alcántara getting a start in right

that throw was one the money. off a little he is safe. oh well turned out ok.

If it was anywhere near the catch radius of the carcher he was out. It would have had to have been way up the line or hit Swanson. He was out by 3 steps.

Thankfully the cubs were able to overcome and win. That would have felt horrible to not score that inning.

 

[CycloneErik]

Why didn't Tatis just pivot and throw?
Glad we made the gift count.

 

[cycloneworld]

Nice to play against AAA pitchers instead of trotting them out. Good to see Bregman get a big 3-run shot.

Yes she is.

 

[FerShizzle]

Boyd looking great so far. Plenty of velo and pounding the strike zone.
