Cubs 5, Rockies 2: Frank Schwindel, Keegan Thompson help overcome weird plays, bad baserunning

What an odd, strange little baseball game.

At one point on the TV broadcast Jim Deshaies asked if there were a full moon Thursday evening (nope — it happens very late tonight) because so many goofy things occurred:

  • The Cubs scored a run in the first inning on an error, but then...
  • Jonathan Villar didn’t go all out from third base on a fly ball to right and Seiya Suzuki was caught way off first base and doubled off to end the third inning just, and I mean just, before Villar touched the plate.
