Nobody show MLB commissioner Rob Manfred the details of this one or else he’ll petition to eliminate the final five innings of each game. Tonight was not a fun game for people who like crisp, fast-moving baseball.

The issue was, neither Cubs starter Yu Darvish nor Edinson Volquez could find the strike zone. Darvish walked a career high seven batters and failed to make it out of at least the third inning for the first time in his career.
