9/11 - Cubs on SNB. Wesneski just gave up a HR. Cubs down 2-1

Figured I’d keep the game thread streak going

[Transmogrified Tiger]

in less than 7 full innings, ESPN has done

 

- a scorebug representation of the pitch clock during pitches (this was actually helpful)

- an interview w/ Evan Longoria while he was at 3B

- an interview w/ Franimal during a defensive inning (this was great because Reyes is great)

- a zoom interview with Bobby Valentine about 9/11

- a zoom interview with Maddon so he can plug his book and repeat his analytics talking points

 

Just desperate to have anything but the game to pay attention to, why did they flex this game if they hate the matchup so much?

Guessing they figured going up against SNF Week 1 they would just throw 2 historic teams out there at a historic ballpark and then just throw a bunch of horsefeathers at the wall to see what sticks. But they could have easily done like Braves/Mariners and did the same stuff.

Wesneski definitely not as sharp as his first outing. Another HR
