But he's got to come a little ways from right field.

I mean, just as a forerunner to five on it, you saw the question I put in the middle of when they got down six to one.

We'll talk about that.

They've now got 14 comeback wins, so they haven't added a whole bunch, and that's well behind the leaders, the Diamondbacks and the Braves, who each have 21.

But they are tied for most ninth-inning comebacks in baseball with four, along with the Padres, the Reds, the Phillies, and the Rangers.

You know I thought the game was over when it was 6-1.

And even when Ian Happ hit the home run to make it 6-3, I was like, OK, they have a chance.

There's time.

But based on what I've seen from the Cubs, I just didn't think they'd be able to come up with that much clutch hitting.

And it wasn't like a couple of guys walked and they hit a three-run homer to win the game.

No, they had...

Many guys have to have hits to keep the game going and to eventually win the game, so that's what's the most surprising.

I would have thought maybe a chance of a big blow, like a three-run homer or grand slam, that has a possibility because you get walks.

No, they just kept getting hits.

That's what's crazy about the game.

They could not get hits with runners in scoring position, but in the ninth inning, they came up with multiple hits with runners in scoring position.

Maybe they're predicting a collapse of some sort.

The collapse is happening.

Yeah, we've seen the collapse.

When you lose 18 out of 23 games, that is in and of itself a collapse.
