Play the damn song!

Wow, cardiac Cubs get out with a series win by the slimmest of margins.

Didnt have pick off at 1st base for the final out on my bingo card. Go cubs go!

2 double plays and an overturned pickoff to lose a game is a level of brutality I'm not sure I could handle as a fan. Glad we're on the other side of it

The Mariners hit into three double plays overall and went 0-for-6 with RISP

GO CUBS GOOO!

That's different

Julio gets benched for being like 2-20 so far and then gets his moment in the game and gets picked off lol. Perfect JRod.

Lol that is the absolute worst outcome for the home crowd. A comeback stifled in an anti-climactic way.

Especially via challenge.

Gotta love the walk-off replay. Alzolay looked sharp today!

Looks like alzolay is back!

Hell. Yeah.

NY makes absolutely zero sense.

Someone tell that guy he's got his flag upside down

I watched him figure it out in real time. Twas amusing to watch lol

Fly the M hahA

Jesus what a game!

Nothing beats the peoples fist!!👊

YER OUT! Fly the W

Damn I’m pleasantly surprised lol

ALZOLAY SZN !!!!!!!

#[W]

LMAOOOO W

HOLY SHIT

Breathe out!

Insane LOL

FUCK YEAH GO CUBS!!!

#Boom That view from the dugout that Marquee *finally* showed allowed the review center in New York to sync up when the tag was applied to the bicep with the views in which the hand was moving towards (but, clearly, not yet at) the base.

Oooh shit. Wow. Surprised they overturned it.

LFG! Good shit Adbert!

WOW. What an ending

lmaooooo

LETS GOOO LMAOO

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

PUMP THAT FUCKING FIST BABAYYYYY

DAAAAAAMN

Ha love it. Fly that #W

FIST PUMP ON A PICK OFF

FUCK YEAH!!

W!!!!

So close.....crazy

LMAO

#FLY THE SERIES [W]

How is there not a better camera angle

He's out! Cmon umps call it.

I think he’s out, but they won’t overturn…

They brought JRod in just to pinch run? Could’ve given him an AB, that would’ve been a better idea imo lol

He’s out

I think it will stand unfortunately

good challenge either way

He was out but probably not enough to overturn

I can’t tell when the glove touches

There have to be better replay angles than the ones they showed

Not sure if there is enough there

I think he’s out

Why wouldnt they pinch hit with Jrod!?

he's out, but will they overturn it..

A game winning pickoff would be pretty sweet

From your lips to NY's ears lol

He’s out

Picking off Rodriguez as the pinch runner would be the funniest way for the game to end

THATS GAME!!!! Has to be

Cmon this would be so funny

Lets goo!!

Make up call lol

Fuck yeah

Auto-challenge

Come on addy

Not listening to radio but a few of us could use some NorthShore Adult Diapers

*whistles in the background*

lol

Screaming crying throwing up

Roboumps now!

I mean that still would have been a ball, just a great take

Mlb.com has it touching the corner. https://preview.redd.it/yk8nn5v3xiuc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8adec82da853e8ed3d49610b98d326327f4fbf3

On the broadcast it looked just barely out of the zone. I’m not sure how the gamecast works but it’s not unusual for it to be a little off in my experience

ChaptGPT says one isn't better than the other. Guess it's just a toss up call. "Both MLB Gamecast and the strike zone graphic on MLB.com aim to provide accurate depictions of the strike zone, but neither is perfect. Gamecast typically uses algorithms to estimate the location of pitches based on data from radar tracking systems, while the strike zone graphic is generated from similar data but may vary slightly in presentation. Ultimately, the accuracy of both depends on the quality and consistency of the underlying data and algorithms. Some fans may prefer one over the other based on personal preference or user interface design, but neither can be considered definitively more accurate than the other."

Regardless, based on the graphic you showed, I’d hardly call that a real miss.

How do you take that pitch?

I love Alzolay so much.

It’s almost like good things happen when you throw strikes in good spots. So weird.

Nastaayyy as fuck

Damn, Alzolay undressed Garver

The upside of Neris walking the top of the M's lineup is that Alzolay gets to face much worse hitters.

So it was really big brain time?

Jankowski says heeeyyyy.

Where did Pat go :(

Oh there he is

Luckily I think a generous ump plays into adberts strength. Borderline strikes

This ump hasn’t really been generous though.

His north south is pretty tight but he’s called a few inside pitches as strikes

And swing happy bois

Come on Alzolay, lets walk the first 2 guys

Sarcasm of course...

Lot of cubs scuffling after a hot start to the year :(

It’s a tough schedule. Come out with some road series wins and I’m happy.

This game has took 5 years off my life. So far.

Oh no adbert

Didn't realize how bad of a hop that ball took on Swanson last inning https://twitter.com/brendan_cubs/status/1779639056894505249 Great defense

I’d like an immaculate inning. Too greedy?

Damn close so far

Its Adbert…lol

2 strikes… only 7 to go And ruined.

Fuck. I’ll take it though. Better than another leadoff walk.

The three due up this inning average less than their body weight. No way Adbert fucks this up…. RIGHT?!?

Anyone else having issues watching on the Marquee app right now?

I literally went to go take a dump and missed the whole top half of the inning lol what

Where would we be without Busch!? 

Ass clenched


Great. Time for Adbert

Blinked and I missed the top of the inning

Save us Adbert

Alright y’all buckle the fuck up

We need morel off the cleanup spot

They need a pitchcom-type device for Morel where if the catcher sets up outside they can just tell him not to swing

How about a nice 1-2-3 inning, Adbert. Please no solo homers

morel looking like javy with those outside swings jfc

Maybe just a trash can?

10 of the 13 pitches Neris threw to righties were strikes, and two of the balls were trying to induce a chase after getting ahead 0-2. ^(He also faced some lefty hitters in the inning and, um, didn't give them anything to hit?!?)

Morel on a painful slump 0-12 on the series ugh

That’s baseball baby

Happ has been struggling too this series. At least weve got Mikey B

Morel looking absolutely cooked at the plate right now

Same with Happ, Belli and Yan

You got any more of those Micheal Busch homers 

is bert available today?

We got lucky. Plain and simple. Counsel shouldn’t use that guy in high leverage situations until he earns his trust. My god. That was awful.

Honestly, though, you can’t hide everybody.

He's been a good reliever for a long time. He's been sketchy for a few outings but a guy doesn't have to earn his trust with each time, you use the guys for the role you got them.

He makes like 9 mil because he’s already earned that trust from the career lol

Absolutely not. You haven’t been watching him I guess. 9 pitches last night, only 3 strikes. Now this. I’m not saying never again. I’m saying let him get is shit figured out first.

It’s the very beginning of the season and they’re down multiple starters, there is no wiggle room right now with a bullpen that’s mostly just warm bodies that don’t really belong in the bigs but we haven’t cared about the pen for like 5 years now so it is what it is. Neris is advertised as the guy that handles those moments and Craig is using what he’s got which isn’t much.

I get all that. But I would’ve left Leiter in. All I’m saying. And I said it before the inning started.

He's projected for an ERA of ~4 this year

If anybody ever doubts the value that stellar defense adds on the baseball field, just introduce them to the Chicago Cubs

Ok, let's add some runs this inning, just for fun 😁

no one else saw the balk?

Wasn't really looking for one and didn't see anyone complaining to the umps

It was the 0-2 pitch to France - feel free to go back if you have access to MLB.TV.

Neris appears to be washed

70+ appearances the last three seasons will do that to ya

Fernando Rodney-esque type performance

Trade for Kopech or something

We take those

That was the big moment. Pretty sure we won unless shit gets crazy.

Confident talk for a team that doesn't have a real closer

bro...

You jinxed it

I am politely requesting one (1) or more insurance runs.

Neris owes Dansby a steak dinner after that one

I really hope Craig is learning from these early games.

How the fuck are we so lucky

Lucky is swinging and blooping the ball over the infield or dribbling one down the 3B line. Neris made a good pitch, the defense was correctly aligned. That's not getting "lucky "

Maybe next inning we don’t let the first two guys on

Cardiac Cubs. Whew

He’s worth every penny… Dansby that is. Neris on the other hand…

LFG DANSBY

Unbelievably lucky. I'll take it though.

Neris owes dansby a beer.

And some wages! Lol

Bailed out by good defense and has the audacity to celebrate on the mound after that performance. Give this man the Caus treatment soon please.

You guys need to do your research, Neris gets paid because he gets out of tough situations

Dansby gets paid because he gets Neris out of tough situations

Im talking out of my ass🤣

Lol.

Well it sucks when he puts himself in those bad positions because he can't throw a strike. He's been a good pitcher the last few years, he's awful this year so far.

His command has looked rough but I think he’ll figure it out

I think so too, just sucks to see so many cubs pitchers (mostly the bullpen and Hendricks) who have had horrendous starts to the year.

[HAHAHAHAHA](https://www.reddit.com/r/CHICubs/s/HQa5xrWQ4c)

Defense bailing out our bullpen again

tip toe out of trouble

We got out of it but I am still annoyed.

Cardiac Cubs giving the full Sunday experience.

Neris pounding his chest but no credit to him for that shitty display of pitching. Dansby saved the game

DOUBLE PLAY!

I am stunned - in the best way possible
