Holy cow that was a strike to Baez.

I can't believe Baez drew a walk against Rich Hill, lol.

I can't be the only one looking forward to Javy falling over into the opposing batters box swinging and missing at a Rich Hill curve, right?

To be fair, I think at least 1 or 2 of those balls should have been strikes.

Ok, I was going to say sacrifice and then Baez steals 3rd and home for the Cubs only run.

But then Lester couldn't get it down.

Jay will now hit a single that would have scored Javy had Lester laid down a proper bunt, and then KB and Rizzo will strikeout back to back.

Now steal home Baez.

We've probably seen the only Javy steal of home against the Dodgers in the postseason already.
