Heyward was about 23 seconds late on a ball down the middle. Nico put a great swing and we lose.

Crap

We play Reds.
Cards play Nats w Scherzer and Strasburg (lose the othergame), and we lost ground.

Reds owned us this season.
I can’t figure out where they’re losing.

Their pitching is good. Suarez is leading MLB in HR. Votto. Aquino.

They may be NL central favorites in 2020

Yup. 3 solid starters next year and great hitters. Just need to shore up middle relief.

That’s it right. Cards can lose 3/4 and still be in good shape.

Sign me up for that result please

I'll take 1 back with 6 left and 3 vs them (mil prob also be right there as well)

Pathetic effort. 1 hit until the 8th(???).

All this talent and they’re chasing 3 teams.

I do t think the cards have beat the cubs at Wrigley this year. Last hope

You can't touch Cy Mahle...even when your season is on the line and there are perfect hitting conditions...AT HOME. Don't worry. Maddon sounds absolutely giddy. You just gotta tip your cap to the Reds. Maddon is dumbfounded they have a losing record with all that talent....he really likes that team he says....says they're headed in the right direction. I'm happy for the Reds. Like Maddon says...Cubs have done everything right all season long...."it just didn't play out".

ya but we're not going to score runs vs pitt at pitt like we did at wrigley. And we're not beating stl 2/3. that's why winning 2/3 vs the reds was so important.

Yes. The effort was pathetic. These players should know they have to hit the ball to win games.

See they fooled us again. Few weeks ago they were pretty much dead in the water but then they swept pitt. But in reality, the wind was blowing out at wrigley and the home run or nothing works when that happens. But when you are not having the wind blow out hr or nothing doesn't work. Maybe if the cubs had to do it over they should have played 3 day games vs the reds instead of all night games.

I guess there's not chili davis to blame this year. You said it right 'hit the ball'. Not hit a home run every AB, but hit the ball and put it into play. Really bad approach the last few years. And when they bring in guys to fix it all these spoiled brats get all upset and resist.

Yeah...Bryant's 1-11 in the series was really clutch when he was needed the most.

funny thing is if Rizzo and Baez were healthy, I think they still would have shit the bed like they did this series. It's just how this team operates in 2019.
