Giants vs. Cubs: Game 3 Thread

San Francisco Giants (25-27) @ Chicago Cubs (26-22)

Ty Blach (3-4, 4.37) vs. Tyler Chatwood (3-4, 3.74)

Rubber match between Cubs and Giants. Two starters struggling to settle into a groove. Almora leading off for Cubs as Happ and Zobrist (who have both been playing well as of late) get a day off.

T1 — Chatwood already showing control issues. Walks McCutchen on 5 pitches in 2nd AB of the game. 3 really high pitches in a row and 1 really low pitch to put McCutchen on base.

T1 || Giants 0, Cubs 0

Wanna liven up your holiday weekend? Every time Chatwood throws a fastball up and out of the zone, take a shot. (Good luck lasting past the 3rd inning.)

M1 — Really weird opening frame. Giants take 3-0 lead with 2-out rally that can basically be pinned on lethargy on behalf of Addison Russell. Slow to the punch on 2 straight grounders leads to Giants going up 1-0. Followed by 2-run single by Mac Williamson. Chatwood still struggling with command.

M1 || Giants 3, Cubs 0

B1 — Cubs on the board. Almora (the spark plug) slides headfirst to beat out throw on 1st AB. Later scores from 2nd on deep double off the wall by Bryant.

B1 || Giants 3, Cubs 1

B1 — Weirdness continues. Ball ricochets off baseball then umpire. Still fielded at 2B, though. Rizzo beats it out for single. Bryant comes in to score. 4 infield singles combined in 1st inning.

B1 || Giants 3, Cubs 2

B1 — Another infield single. This is a like a Little League game. Cubs even the score at 3-3. Giants pitcher Blach has gotten his glove on 3 hard-hit balls but couldn't corral them.

Figured the drinking game wouldn't make it past the 3rd inning. Didn't realize it would be because Chatwood experienced yet another miserable start. Got to figure that he's firmly on the hot seat in the Cubs rotation.

Just to sum up Chatwood's start, he walked the opposing pitcher (Blach) twice in both of his plate appearances. Only the 2nd time in MLB this year that an individual pitcher has been walked multiple times in a game.

E3 — Tough inning for the Cubs. Continuing their recent streak of poor hitting with runners on base. 3 walks to start the inning and not a run to show for it. J-Hey flies out to end inning.

B4 — Almora 2-3 so far. Big double right there. Runners on 2nd & 3rd now for Cubs. Good opportunity to take the lead.

Another Chatwood tidbit. He walked 5 batters tonight. That's the 7th time he's done that this year. And that's the 1st time a pitcher has done so in a season since Ricky Romero did it in 2012. Mind you, it's not even June yet.

"How do you keep this guy out of the lineup?" asks Jessica Mendoza when referencing Almora. The entire north side of Chicago wants to know the answer to that question, too.
