9/11 - Cubs (Wicks) vs Rockies (Freeland): 7:40pm, Marquee

I'm still mildly salty about how inch-perfect everything from the pitch to the throw to the tag was to get PCA out at 3rd on his attempted steal

Plus it's worth remembering that Wicks is well past his career high in IP and likely is in uncharted waters in terms of stamina/fatigue, especially given that he's being thrown into high pressure situations. It's going to make for an interesting conversation if the Cubs find themselves in a multi-game playoff series and Stro isn't back to 100%.

Also also, seeing Wicks and Assad perform like this has me feeling so, so, so much better about the rotation in 2024.

Not only IP limit but I believe he’s exceeded his ML pitch count limit in his last 2 starts

Really that play was spectacular. If the Cubs caught another team's fastest runner that way we'd be effusive with praise, even if it took a fair bit of serendipity to take place.
