Good job by Geo to take that ball the other way.

[Outshined_One]

Well, he cleared the bases.

 

But not in the good way.

That's an amazing stat. Normally the stats make sense. Like when the Cubs have a much better record when they score in the first vs. not scoring, it make sense because it means not only did they score early, but they are probably swinging the bats decently. But when I see a SB, I don't think it has that much of a difference in the outcome of a game. I'd expect to see a better record when they steal a base vs. not steal a base, but not this big of a difference.

I'll take 2 though that looked way more promising.

[Schwarber Fan]

In Game Highlight #1:

 

Soto RBI single

[cubbyvirus00]

what a boring game

[BigSlick]

Runs are runs

 

Bottom of the order is doing the job today, though Geo should probably not be in the bottom of the order

[Fred Hornkohl]

Maholm grounded out to first, unassisted

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rivas grounded out to third, 5-3

It's always nice to wake up and see the Cubs winning.
