Must cash in here.

[HarryDoyle]

Man, if they don't take advantage of that....

[tomoohka]

hahahahaaha!

[kevinisaname]

What a break! C'mon, Sal!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Grand Slam would be so delicious.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

infield fly rule?

[RobertCrawley]

Ha ha ha!!

Poor Greg.

[kevinisaname]

Sac fly, I'll take it!

[BarremlensTSSC]

oh my god.  

[RobertCrawley]

Ok. Let's get another.

[BarremlensTSSC]

This is ugly.

Requires someone to have a play on the ball, ump correctly discerned that nobody located the ball. Actually quite heads up umpiring.

[liveforoctober]

that is all Cubs fans are going to talk about if they lose. "luckiest team ever".

Very sorry you have terrible players Chicago.

Yeah. I'd like to know why that wasn't called. Do I not understand the rule? (Entirely possible. 🙂)

[BarremlensTSSC]

Could have made more of that than 1, but beats 0.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Got one. Not the optimal result, but the chance wasn’t completely squandered. Any lead is better than the opposite.

Who cares what the cubs yammer on about.

I'll take it since only 1/6 batters hit the ball hard.

Not going to pretend to understand it completely either but if the purpose of the rule is to prevent an intentional drop that's pretty clearly not what was happening.

[adambr2]

I can’t decide if we were very lucky to score a run or if it’s unfortunate that we didn’t score more.

[bm1090]

Come on QP, give us the first scoreless half inning in the 1st this series.

Since nobody was camped under the ball, umpires correctly did not call infield fly rule

Yes.  The approaches were a little passive once they had traffic on the bases.  Some hittable pitches went by, which contributed to the soft contact.

Assuming the announcers are right, they wait to see if anyone has a play on it before calling it. If that's the case then they got it right since nobody was near it. Leaving 2nd uncovered was rough 

[RobertCrawley]

You call the infield fly rule if a player can catch it and drop it on purpose. Wasn't the case here.
