Runs abound; Win Elusive: Cubs down Cards 8-5

I don’t think you guys honestly want the grisly details of every run scored, so I’m just going to give you a meandering jumble of my thoughts on this game, Larry King style.

  1. Luke Weaver - not sharp and was definitely giving up tons of hard contact and missing his locations. On the other hand, umpire Jeff Nelson was not really calling the corners and damn near every ball was finding a gap. Was he pitching well? Absolutely not. Was he give-up-six-runs-over-four-innings bad? Nah. Sometimes you eat the BABIP; sometimes the BABIP eats you.
