Chicago Cubs Thread - Playoff Push Pending

Castillo shouldn'tve celebrated the called ball the pitch before so demonstrably before the ump made the call. That had to have thrown Schlitter off.

And lead to Maddon's ejection
 
Bryant grounds out into inning ending fielder's choice with Fowler and Rizzo on 1st and 2nd.

Boo
 
There certainly appears to be plenty of excitement in Chicago. Bryant shows good field, no hit his first day in the bigs. I hope the Cubs can win one of the two remaining home games against the Padres amidst all the hoopla. Hendricks and Lester need to come up big.
 
Where do the Cubs view Russell, SS or 2B? If SS, what do they plan to do with Castro?
 
Bryant walks in his first at bat after Rizzo got a single after 10 or 11 pitches. No runs but Ross threw 27 pitches in the first.
 
Hendricks was up with Castro on first and one down, misbunted on first, faked a bunt and took strike two, and then bunted foul for strike three. Smh.
 
Hendricks pitching well after the first. Bryant with a run-scoring single to tie the game in the fifth for his first ever MLB hit.

Castro error to start the top of the next though - of course. 2-2.
 
Good piece of hitting by Bryant -- went with the pitch, didn't overswing. Very good sign
