If that was the last out in the 9th inning, they call him safe. Humans are awful.

Doolittle now pitching, by the way

Back angle was clear and convincing.

Jeff Sullivan

Lobaton was out. Those replay reversals are still stupid

Brian

Fuck this. I love baseball but fuck that rule.

Hey another Heyward out

Show Hey O'Tawny

This game’s got literally everything dumb and great about baseball

My GF and I are laughing about how we met at a baseball game...and how this one would kill any sort of romantic air.

I hate the cubs

9:30

to be fair to lobaton he beat the throw

Jeff Sullivan

9:30

Don't know why he'd think to wander in the first place. Cubs love the back pick

And he's Jose Lobaton

Raindog

9:31

is there any sensate being who doesn't loathe "did he momentarily bounce off the bag?"

Hmmm

9:31

So feet off bag = ok, but bat hitting catchers on backswing = can't review it

Jeff Sullivan

9:31

Two strikeouts in a row. Doolittle is good

9:32

Javier Baez is pretty good but I can't imagine he will ever be great

His approach is just so bad

Raindog

9:33

at a molecular level, he's never really touching the bag. call them all out!

Jeff Sullivan

9:33

Time for the bottom of the ninth!

What time was the actual first pitch? We could break the record of 4:45...

What's the most improbable thing you've seen off of a baseball field?

Is this game remembered as A) a good baseball game B) an excruciating baseball game or C) an exhibit in questionable umpiring

Jeff Sullivan

9:36

It will be remembered fondly for being memorable. Not memorably good or bad

This inning could get really spicy if Turner reaches to lead off

Zonk

9:37

4:28 now, this game broke the NL record already....

Jeff Sullivan

9:37

Contreras poorly catches another borderline pitch...

9:38

Apologies to those of you who are active in the queue because right now the queue is insane!

HankLloydWright

Is Davis the only pitcher the Cubs have left?

Jeff Sullivan

9:38

Wilson and Lackey

Fly out. One down.

druidiful

9:39

Why is Werth hitting second in this lineup?

Jeff Sullivan

9:39

For this moment right now!

Matt

9:39

Davis high for pitches on the year is 34

Nate

9:39

How does this break records? The Nationals played an 18-inning NLDS game a few years back...

Jeff Sullivan

9:39

For a would-be 9-inning game

Ryan

9:40

This has felt like an elongated root canal (a Cubs fan)
