He's safe.

[lordstanley]

Out at the plate! Challenge pending. 

[IdahoBert]

Exciting play at home Carpenter to Dingler wow. And it’s up for review.

[holygoat]

PHEW!

[IdahoBert]

Call stands at the plate and there’s two out.

[chasfh]

Call stands. Pete’s RBI attempt is thwarted.

[Tigermojo]

Carp goes fishing with a bazooka.

[holygoat]

Wow, Carson Kelly having a hell of a season so far.

[IdahoBert]

Walks the base is loaded. 

[IdahoBert]

8 foot tall Parker Meadows snares the ball in center to get out of the inning 

[holygoat]

It's great having Parker back.

[chasfh]

Three walks and a single and no runs. Almost as though Jack was trying to give them some runs. But man, what a wild catch by Parker out in center.

[lordstanley]

4 baserunners this inning. Get out of it with 0 runs but drives up h Jack’s pitch count. 

[Tigermojo]

Can't make a living hitting to Meadows.

Not anymore, he’s not.

[holygoat]

This ump blows. And I worried this will fire up the Cubs.

[GalagaGuy]

What?  Looked like it caught the entire corner to me.  😗

Riley got called out in the first inning on a nearly-as-ridiculous miss for a third strike. Cubs announcers are borderline apoplectic about it. Their response to Riley’s called strike? A smirky “oh well”.

[Sports_Freak]

It was a strike. But umpires really are jerks. Nobody, not a single person, came to the game to see a stubborn umpire.

[Sports_Freak]

Flaherty has 8 strikeouts. The Cubs don't strikeout a lot.

AI Overview

 

Yes, there is an MLB umpire named Derek Thomas. He's known for his work in the MLB and has been recognized as one of the most accurate umpires by Umpire Scorecards. In fact, according to Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, he ranked second in accuracy among umpires who had worked the plate at least three times, trailing only Will Little.

He said "too bad, so sad."

[Tigermojo]

Score runs dummies! Jack's pitching his butt off.

[IdahoBert]

Just by my eye, the Cubs seem to be acting really entitled about this strike calling thing and that just doesn’t seem to work well with this umpiring crew. 

[Tigermojo]

That's what I'm talking about!
