HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

After the LONGEST review I have EVER seen. The Cubs got not one but TWO calls in their favor to BEAT the Mets.

Amaya did NOT block the bag.
The call on the field stands (not confirmed, but stands).

Ian Happ and Nick Madrigal just threw out the game-tying…

Buckle.
Up.
Again.

I literally said please?

Please don't make me watch a 1-0 Mets 9th inning, Cubs.

Score some damn insurance runs.

YENCY ALMONTE.

Gotta give him credit. After a slow start, he's earned these chances.

Can Shota Imanaga come in for relief?

Harrison Bader.

Still annoying.

Imanaga stopped Michael Busch from drifting too far again, and actually completed the play.

Great athleticism, but even better smarts and communication. Excellent work.

The Cubs have scored just 10 runs over their last 42 innings.

PCA gets the job done.

Gotta say, his at-bats have looked pretty solid lately.

Matt Mervis needed that like a fish needs water.

111.7 MPH line drive double.

If Marquee really wanted to make some money, they'd have a Shota-Cam showing us his reaction to every play, whether he's starting or not.

Shota already with four groundballs tonight (3 groundouts and 1 infield single) . Feels like a record.

So far, Imanaga hasn't quite elevated that four-seamer as much as you'd want to see.
