For all of the whining that Chicago Cubs fans did last week regarding St. Louis Cardinals' manager Oliver Marmol's sensible decision to intentionally walk Michael Busch and "rob" him of a chance to hit for the cycle, they seem to be eerily quiet regarding the horrible call that pushed them to the NLDS on Thursday night.
In case you missed Game 3 between the Cubs and the San Diego Padres, the Padres were down 3-1 entering the top of the ninth, and Xander Bogaerts led off the inning facing Brad Keller. Keller got into a 3-2 count against Bogaerts, and proceeded to miss the strike zone low and away with a 97 MPH fastball that should have sent Bogaerts to first base with a lead-off walk.
