Brutal there. Walk to Lindor would have been huge.

Tribe can't make them pay for that grievous error. Silver lining is that it cost more pitches and Kluber is now better off at 32 to 40.

It can't be that because they don't boo when their own pitcher throws over.

I questioned it when the Cubs' catcher threw down to third. Were the fans booing to try and rattle the pitcher?

Doesn't make sense.

Because the fans want their pitcher to pick off the opponent.

The other team is not allowed to do that. Get it? It's a home crowd thang.

Tribe will be lucky to give up only 1 run this Inning. Cubs 2-5 has been brutal on the Tribe.

It's odd. They don't boo when the opponent's defense does other things to get them out.

...but throw to first..... or have a catcher throw to a bag and it draws boos.

Why does that move by the defense draw a boo? That's all I'm asking.

Pressure and defensive fuck ups cost this game.

Outfielder too worried about whose going to take the fly and if it will fall to be getting in proper position to make the throw after the catch. Two bad throws this inning cost them.

Lazy play by Lindor cost them now 2 runs. Caught the pop up on his heels. No way you should be able to tag and score on a ball 5 feet off the infield.

Not Lindor and not 5 feet from the infield, but still awful.

Huh? It was Davis who caught the ball and threw it in high (after he hesitated), and then proceeded to misplay Contreras' fly ball...try and keep up

As I said earlier why pitch Kluber? He is clearly shot

Just didn't catch it in a ready position to throw. Matter of just a split second was the difference between being able to better block the slide.
