The Cubs Love To Get Crooked | Defector
Briefly

In a chaotic game against the Dodgers, the Cubs displayed their trademark unpredictability, overcoming an early three-run deficit to win 11-10. Manager Craig Counsell noted the excitement of watching the team, despite their tendency to squander leads. Shohei Ohtani's error set the tone as the Cubs quickly struck back with five runs in the first inning. However, with the game's momentum shifting, the lead felt precarious as the Dodgers threatened late, emphasizing the Cubs' frequent struggles with maintaining advantages.
"It's a fun team to watch play, that's what I'd tell you," manager Craig Counsell said after Tuesday's 11-10 walk-off win, wearing a slightly rattled and unconvincing smile.
Indeed, it got uncomfortable fast when Will Smith crushed a Shota Imanaga splitter to make it 7-5 in the sixth. Then it was the Dodgers who started to get comfortable.
