I suppose the first thing you want to talk about from the Cubs’ 6-3 loss to the Cardinals in Saturday’s doubleheader nightcap is the ejection of Javier Baez in the fifth inning.
Here’s the situation: runners on first and second, two out, the Cubs trailing 1-0. Baez was called out on strikes on a check swing.
From Javy:
#Cubs Baez: "I didn't think I said anything to disrespect anyone. It was a pretty close call. I only asked for him to check with the umpire at first. He didn't say anything.
