Great stop by Paredes at third, almost gets a double play.

Two outs, first and third.

Need a grand slam and a three run HR now.

12-5

Grandal walks to load them back up.

Glad to see the Bucs not stop battling, and use up one their relievers, and force them to use another one.

Bases loaded, two outs, just need a grand slam and a three run HR.

Triolo 2-3 tonight, can he keep the line moving?

Can he start making this game just a bit in doubt?

Can he give the Cubs some pucker factor?

Cubs bring in one of their high leverage guys, so there is some pucker factor over there

Fear not, Bae can't even make contact. He strikes out 31.5% of the time.

Honestly, once again I'm exceptionally disapointed in Shelton. I know it's a stretch but....

WTF DIDN'T YOU USE DAVIS TO PINCH HIT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feigl still on the mound.

I mean, seriously, why on earth are you letting Bae hit there? Just think, a base hit scores 2 for certain, and it's a much different game.

I just don't get the guy. The team doesn't quit, but he does.

How do they keep playing for this guy?

Here's why you have to try and keep a slimmer of hope going by using Davis:

You've already closed the gap, so you can't use a position player to pitch now. Why not roll the dice?

Feigl lead off double, then gets a comebacker to the mound, but doesn't fundamentally check the guy back to second, who goes to third on the out at first.

He's a legit Pirate!!!!!

and a soft single to left, and it's 13-6.

Feigl gives up a hit to the only guy on the Cubs who hadn't reached base tonight

Okay, let's hear your guesses.

What's Shelty gonna say at the presser? I bet he says something like, "that's a really good lineup over there, they had a bunch of hits the other day, they really make you work, it's a long line up."

What's Keller gonna say? I bet he says something like, "I just didn't have my stuff, I couldn't locate, and when I got it over the plate, they didn't miss it."
