REKAP ⚾️ Cubs 5-3 Win Over the Nationals - “We’re still here!”

Still alive! The Cubs continue to win against bad teams and have climbed to 3 games over .500. The #ChicagoCubs were down 2-0 early, but they put together a good offensive inning in the 5th, getting RBIs from #NicoHoerner, #ChristianBethancourt, and #DansbySwanson. #IanHapp added an RBI later in the game.

#JavierAssad pitched a solid game going 6 innings and giving up 3 runs. #PorterHodge was able to get the save in the 9th after allowing a couple of baserunners.

The Cubs play one more against the Nats before returning home to play the Pirates.

Willie Harris has gotten a ton of guys thrown out at the plate and third this year !

[BigLar]

Thank you for calling out Willie’s bad send again! We’ve gotta lead the league in guys cut down at the plate, and this one like several others was not even close. Suzuki was out by a mile. Apparently the Nats’ right fielder is known to have a gun, which is what the third base coach has to know, and he got a hard hit ball on a short hop with momentum towards the plate. I’m not saying Willie has an easy job or that he needs to be right every time but when your runner is still multiple strides from the plate when the throw arrives, you gotta question whether you need to replace your coach.

And a happy and exciting David big money Kaplan

[joehon]

Kap the cubs are 70-66 not 69 take that

[Stufftowatch]

Still need a closer. Keep the momentum going. Definitely gotta play smart baseball.

[Commenter]

Kap, you should say
(All of US, who were doubting)!

[koolkid]

Assad is lucky two great defensive plays were made

[lmswentzeljr]

Where did our friend Otis go. Go Cubs!!!

[thechild]

It was a two out send. Fans would be more upset if he wasn't sent there.

[johnferrarini]

We’re finally on a roll. Let’s keep the train on the tracks. Watching Atlanta losing to the Phils in the 8th. If they lose we’re 4 out of the wild card. Unbelievable I thought they were burnt toast. Chooo Chooo

[terrye]

We need a closer in the worst way this off season, a lock down, other teams’ fans turn off the game because there’s no hope kind of a guy. But I’m guessing Jed is going to look at the job the pen has done of late and call it good

[miked]

PCA with the throw out at second. Kid is incredible. TAKE THAT.

[kennethchadwick]

I have Cub fever.
I have 5 tickets for the month of September
In Chicago on the far northwest side they had a place called Dunning.
Full of Cub fans.

Cubs have been thrown out at the plate 22 times this year. Most in MLB

[windycity]

Kap, you were doubting them too a month back

[RodneyHennings]

Hey Kap!! They have 70 wins, after Saturday's game!!🤔😏👌🏾

[jeremysmith]

It was not a mistake to send Suzuki with 2 outs. Nationals just made a good play. I'd send him again in that spot.
