This isn't going to be Kyles night since he is almost at 60 pitches through 3 innings.

I just noticed we've got one of those weird umps who won't give the catcher a new ball and throws it directly to the pitcher himself.

I just think it's dumb we're whining about the strike zone already. Umps are garbage and should be replaced by robots but lets get over it and watch baseball

I love it when the catcher holds out his glove expectantly and the ump just says nooooooope.

Kyle knows he can't hit Kershaw, just watches every pitch.

And yeah, only 31 pitches through three, so he's gonna go 7 or 8 I bet.

Hope for this, Cubs fans. I have said it before, I will say it again: The 7th inning is October Kershaw's kryptonite.

There has to be actual wood involved though and the Cubs refuse to use it.
