If Goldy and especially O'Neill can stay hot, they could be really dangerous if they're able to get past the wild card game.
Since we have 2019, I can't say "too soon" on this one (like I still do with Ausin Peay), but I was at that game, and as a Nationals fan #1, Cardinals #2, though, I have to still say ouch. You all earned it, but just ouch if you are a Nats fan there with your son at his first playoff game. Drew Storen...oof.

If an alien came to earth and asked "Cubs?". I would show them that clip.That double play was a combination of Cardinals defensive brilliance and Cubs baserunning ineptitude.
It was amazing. I've watched the replay a few times now. I might need a signature: 3-2-5-4-2-8-6!That double play was a combination of Cardinals defensive brilliance and Cubs baserunning ineptitude.
15 now, point remains the same.
Infield pop up fly ruleCan anyone who understands the rules explain what the deal was on the popout in the 9th?
I still don't understand how/why the runners were allowed to advance?I just watched the replay. The umpire at second initially called the runner out on a force out. This was not correct. My guess is he immediately realized his mistake and called timeout. Thus the resulting confusion.
Incompetence by the umps. There were no force outs because the batter was out. But as was said they made multiple errors including calling time with runners off the bases and the play still ongoing.I still don't understand how/why the runners were allowed to advance?
The pop fly was not caught. The batter was out due to the infield fly. Since the ball was not caught the runners were allowed to advance at their own peril. The ball was picked up and thrown to 3rd. No tag was applied. The runner at third is safe, because there is no force-out. As I mentioned in the previous post, the ball was then thrown to second. The umpire gave the out signal due to force-out. This was not correct. I am speculating that the umpire immediately recognized his mistake and called time-out. Not a good look for the crew of umpires.I still don't understand how/why the runners were allowed to advance?
On the post game show it was stated that the second base ump admitted to Shildt that he messed up the call at second and then the timeout call, but there was nothing to do to reverse the mess ups.....I didn't watch the post game presser of Shildt's and just a few of Al and Erica........Al is still having trouble making coherent sentence's.....hard to watch him anymore................The pop fly was not caught.
