For the red.
This is a must win.
If they want to avoid the
dubious distinction of being
second team in franchise history
to lose 100 games below is
something he never has to worry
about because he dials the ball
up there anywhere from 97 to 100
miles an hour.
He's got natural cut, talked
about that despite the fact that
he throws so hard, he doesn't
strike very many out.
He only strikes out about six
per nine innings that driven
down and in, gets a swing and
miss from the screen and a
strike out gets the game going.
Rolls this to steer on the back
hand.
1, 2, 3 ground ball outs today.
For Adrian, his record at five
and five.
He'll come after the red hitters
with an assortment of pitchers
featuring featuring a 92 mile an
hour fastball sinkers and four
seamers slider changeup and
cutter loaded the bases last
night's hero.
Spencer steer will come to the
plate, The delivery check swing
did he go?
Yes, he did strike three Tom
Hallion made the call at first
steer angry slams his bat down
Earlier today salutation to Tom
Hallion, our medical mutual five
star man.
He is retiring after 33 years as
an umpire, 3600 games.
He first put on the gear june
the 10th, 1985.
He has since worked 10 division
series, five league
championships, two World Series.
Congratulations and got that
call right on the check swing to
end last inning.
So this inning becoming a real
challenge now for Ashcraft.
He had two outs, nobody on but
back to back walks to horner and
Higgins and it brings up David
body in the air, right field,
going back, Brooks Raley back
some more and that one is gone
just over the wall.
David body the opposite way.
Number four and the cubs have
jumped out three to nothing big
opportunity in the bottom of the
inning with the bases loaded
able to get out of that jam and
now the cubs come back after a
pair of walks, two outs, 2 on
and the batter jake scoring
position, Jose Barreiro way off
3rd base and that ball just
trickles away.
Just a little bit, very alert,
base running.
Barreiro saw that ball get away
from Higgins before Higgins knew
that ball popped out.
I would assume some of this,
talking about scouting report
with have gone velasquez at the
plate.
Remember Austin roman does have
time as the Chicago cubs
familiar with their personnel,
even more than most 11 chopped
left side.
Nice pick by farmers throw to
first in time shot to center,
morale back extends loses the
ball never gave up the steaming
through second slide in the
third, believe it all the way.
That's a triple for Stewart
Fairchild, but you don't see
many triples in this ballpark,
but the key to a triple is
coming out of the box with the
idea that you are going to get
yourself in scoring position if
not second, certainly third base
moral made a really nice attempt
on that ball over his head and
Stewie flying around the bases.
Nice job.
Victory is his have a runner at
3rd with two down.
Another opportunity.
Another it did have a nice crisp
to the hit right there and
showing an ability to hit with
runners in scoring position and
give you good quality.
And that is a big chance for
rookie Michael does not yet have
a major league R.B.I. Does not
yet have a major league extra
base hit.
Does not yet have a major league
walk.
Could see several of those
things in one fell swoop corner
is camped under it right in
behind, second base squeezes it
and that will end the inning and
that's a big pitch for out with
the bases loaded and two outs,
the cubs get out of the inning
unscathed corner will be walked
intentionally.
This will load the bags with one
away and it brings up P.J.
Higgins and we have reached a
turning point in this ballgame.
The 31 Higgins takes ball four
forces in a run cubs lead four
to pretty good patience by
Higgins, it's tempting I would
think run with anything close
than the bases loaded to try to
put some ball in play.
But if it's not in a good spot
and it's off the edge.
If you can take that more power
to you, bases full of cubs run
in body already with a three run
homer today, dr that's a base
hit to left center and that's
going to score at least two.
Higgins on the move will hold
him up as Niko crosses along
with velasquez.
The cubs have opened up a 62
lead five R.B.I day for David
body so far, rolling the six,
he's getting another crack at
least maybe to he follows up his
opposite field home run with
this double has struck out and
singled deep drive to right.
If it's fair, get out the tape
measure for a long home run for
zack McKinstry a booming blast
by far the longest ball we've
ever seen Zack McKinstry hit way
up over the bullpen down the
line and right.
Only question would it stay
fair.
It did.
And it was gone by a whole lot.
And here is Franmil Reyes
bounced up the middle.
Oh and hit the bag, kicks out
into right center.
Here comes wisdom and Reyes will
knock in a run and its tend to
look at the baseball gods paying
rays back.
You may recall last time up
right on the button, Donovan
solano snared it cost him a hit
in a couple R.B.I. This time
smile upon him and this ground
ball bounces off the bag and he
gets an R.B.I knock out of 10 to
line drive and a base hit out of
the right center field and
that's going to roll.
Reyes around to score, need goes
on his horse.
Higgins into second and it's 12
to Everybody getting in on the
act here this afternoon for the
Cubs.
On the final day of the 2022
season, I have to remind you
fellas there can only be one
star baker every week, but we've
got key performance is going on
here this afternoon and chris
Morel, he needs a knock, he's
over three today, grounded out,
struck out twice.
Anderson Chase Anderson delivers
this ball has grounded into
center field of base hit.
This is going to drive in a run
as Higgins comes in to score And
morel gets into the act with a
run scoring base set up the
middle and the Cubs lead 13 two
to Siani will bat again with the
bases loaded and two outs.
He did so in the fifth, popped
up to the shortstop, popped up
foul off third body has it and
it's out number three.
Franmil Reyes now an R.B.I
single is last time right field
, that one back and that one is
gone.
Franmil Reyes the opposite way,
Big Smile and he ends his
September home run drought.
It's 15 to the animal.
His bid to be star baker and
Brandon Hughes is on the mound
and a 2 to out to center field.
Morel is there and that will do
it, cubs win for the final time
in 2022 15 to 2 the final as
Hughes finishes it off
