Pirates fall short of Cubs 5-3

Yeah, that whole “You Had Two Outs” thing. We’ve already talked about it here and here. No one’s happy about it except Cubs fans (their announcers were positively gleeful). To quote Derek Shelton, “our guys gotta know the rule, the bag hasn’t moved in 104 years.”

It’s over, it’s done, and that wasn’t the only mistake the Pirates made in their 5-3 loss to the Cubs this afternoon at PNC Park, so we’ve got other things to talk about.

The Cubs got started early when Kris Bryant popped one off Tyler Anderson and into the Pirates hedge in the top of the first.
