A pair of 1-out walks puts some big potential insurance runs on base. Would be good to cash in this opportunity.

Edit: And as usual in 2025, Ortiz is up with the bases loaded again.

I like this Hollowell kid.

what was his reaction? i'm watching but must have missed it.

He very much had a "***, bro?" type reaction/look on his face. 

[HarryDoyle]

Time to bust this one wide open.

[kevinisaname]

C;mon, Joey. Do something big.

[edfunderburk]

Joey O with the bases loaded … 

[HarryDoyle]

Stop me if you've heard this before. Ortiz up with the bases loaded.

[HarryDoyle]

Come on, Ortiz. Make him throw two strikes before swinging.

[kevinisaname]

Infield single! I thought he was going to K, to be honest.

There we go!!!!!!

[kevinisaname]

Brice! I didn't even see that hit. I don't think FanDuel did either.

[torts]

8th inning voodoo!!!!

[HarryDoyle]

Finally, a crooked number.

Cubs fans are just trashing on Counsell for basically punting the game 

[folly412]

Cubs fans also left me with the impression that hits with an exit rate under 95 are considered foul balls at Wrigley.  You'd almost think them liars!

[TURBO]

Keep showing Counsell, this is awesome!

POUR

ON

Wild pitch! Save those relievers!

Now we can use a low leverage reliever. 

[dlk9s]

Siegler, start warming up.

[owbc]

Please let this inning go long enough to get Vaughn up. 

[HarryDoyle]

CC decided to punt this game in a series where they need to win at least four of the five.
