shirt and listening to Buffett Tunes but Timmy Buffett one of the great great guys but great concerts you will ever would have gone to he's just a special he was a special guy called strike three fast ball on the outside corner gets Davis one away and if you're if you were a concert go when you heard that Jimmy Buffett pass it was just a really sad thing I got to see him many times play and very first time I was in minor league baseball in Portland Oregon and he played the ballpark post game and I thought well there was a hint of rain typical in Oregon right that good rain they canceled our game they moved it early then they canceled it all together so they could make sure they had the Buffett concert so I just went to the park and went in our clubhouse and hung out to the concert started so you and and walked right out there I was standing right next to the stage all night I became a parrothead that night right there great stuff Alo Williams at the plate looks at a strike

racing over making the catch Crow Armstrong the throw the first is offline so sliding back in safely is triolo but man Pete Crow Armstrong with a full head of steam in a right center field to make the catch in one motion tried to fire a strike to First and double off triolo couldn't do it but two away yeah nice play by Pete he goes and gets this ball in the Gap it's a little run and hit triolo all the way to second base Pete catches this ball but he's on a dead run so he can't set his feet to throw so he throws like an infield around the run and throw just kind of ran out of gas by the time it got to first triolo got back but a very nice play by P Crow Armstrong now a throw to first that was close triello called safe Cub saying hold on a second they wanted to check with the video people well throw was up into the runner and sometimes the the catch is made and you just in the tag is right there on the same spot and that that can be a close play HS do not challenge the next pitch to Gonzalez is a big swing and a miss on one the count triolo at first two away top three no score Cubs and Pirates the pitch the ground ball hits softly to third fielded by paradus slings across High into the Pirates dugout [Music] that's the routine ground ball the parades and I think what happened to him on this play is he was unsure where he's going to throw the ball he might going to go to Second and take the short way throw the first and then all of a sudden you know he's going to throw to throw to first but his throwing angle is bad and he throws this ball he cuts it Loose From Below his waist and the ball just sails on him and he probably got the grip of a two seamer and this ball just right into the Dugout so it'll be an error on parades and that'll push Runners at second and third with Reynolds at the plate their top hitter Reynolds grounded out to second in the first he's 0 for one switch hitter batting from the left side with men at second and third and two away scoreless game here's the pitch that's called strike cutter on the outer half 0 and one we're in the top of the third triolo at third Gonzalez at second after the error by paradus Reynolds hitting at

territory right at the plate it's the catcher Davis who makes the catch and Horner retired one away ball goes up in the air wind starting to pick up here at Wrigley and kind of blowing still blowing kind of towards the left field Corner somewhat but Davis had a little bit of an issue with the wind as we know that ball curls right it goes back and comes back towards the catcher but then you add that wind blowing towards the foul pole and left and not an easy play for the catcher but he made it Dansby Swanson at the plate he looks at a strike a slider that spins into the Zone o and one Swanson responsible for the Cubs one nothing lead a solo shot to left Center in the third 370 ft his 13th home run of the year here's the 01 that's a called strike fast ball on the Outer Edge at 97

Swanson to a single now it's a high fast ball probably middle of the plate but up about chest high it's right at the very top of the zone and Danby gets on top of this ball and hits a bullet two Hopper right through the infield so another nice H bat for Dansby he's hit two balls on the screws a home running the single now a lot of options Pete Crow Armstrong at the plate shows bunt pulls it back and the pitch is a ball low and outside a slider that missed by Jones yeah sorry Zack Pete's going to show bump but he's not bunting for sacrifice this is entirely bunting for base hit if he does B triolo in on the infield Grass at third to Les holding on the runner Swanson throw to first Swanson Dives back in safely Gonzalez the second baseman too in about four good steps from where he would

pitch is down and in Pete continues to show bunt this little slider down and in Pete pulls the bat back and this ball hits Peter Armstrong in that left leg in the shin and kind of in between like your shin and your calf would be yeah and that one's going to leave a mark he is going to be hurting for a while that will take an ice bag tonight for sure yeah the left leg for a left-handed hitter is the back leg that's good and there was nothing protecting that no there's nothing he just he he went around to tried to bunt and you know didn't try to get out of the way and the ball ball got him pretty good and that left shin Miguel Amaya at the plate the pitch a ground ball hit to short fielded by Williams to Second for one safe and they'll throw to first though in time by the second baseman Gonzalez so Amaya is retired two away but Crow Armstrong safe at second and safe at third is Swanson so the Cubs have two men in scoring position and Ian ha to up with two away here in the fifth now derck Shelton waiting to see if if Pak Armstrong is safeer out at second but Pete does an excellent job he gets a great break off first Dansby does a great job running from second holding his ground and not allowing the short stop to charge this ball Williams so he's got to lay back on it Pete kstr strong with a great slide and the front foot goes right into the bag at second and that's what makes him safe Ian half grounds one pass first all the way down the right field Corner one run is in Swanson scores Here Comes PCA he scores half on his way to third base gets their standing up Cubs now lead three to nothing a two-run triple for Ian hap here in the fifth well if you don't think base running and hustling matters this inning proves otherwise Pete Crow Armstrong does a great job of beating the throw to second base which what should have been a double play the Pirates don't turn it Dansby Swanson holds the ground and makes Williams the short stop wait back on this ground ball that mattered because Pete CR Armstrong safe at second what happens on the next pitch you hook a ground ball down the first base line it drives in two and Ian hap with a triple big base running plays by the Cubs great hustle as Jones got the ball from the infielders Slamm the Rosen bag down on the ground I don't blame him it's frustrating but great playing by the Cubs anytime a cub is safe at the

that's where Herer is and the pitch in the dirt blocked by Davis it squirts to his right quickly retrieves it Herer stays at second niik had a chance to take third base it's a really tough read at second base cuz you don't know what the ball's going to do when it hits the catcher Davis blocks this ball but it kind of goes off to the right almost to the grass but he did a very nice job of pouncing on that ball keeping Nico at second base so two and one the count with Swanson at the plate Jones looks at second along set and the pitch a high fly ball it to shallow right center field Cruz camping under it makes the catch and ER returns to second base one away Danby trying to get the ball to the right side to move Nico to third just kind of ran out of bat he ends up hitting that ball

to man at second Crow Armstrong winds one foul off The netting to the left o and one pirates entering play Kum with the fourth worst bullpen erra in baseball 4.64 and now you understand why the point I was making last when Jones was coming out he may have lost the argument with the manager but he wants to stay in and keep pitching and finish this inning and keep going and that's what I mean if you're Derek Shelton you may need to take him out because you know he's just coming off the injured list and that but those are the guys you win with that want to play and I that's impressive with
