Cubs (Wicks) vs Dodgers (Miller): 9/11/24, 9:10pm

[WhyCantWeWin]

Just one run 

[JHBulls]

That’ll teach Dodger fans not to give Belli a standing ovation.

It's fun watching balls fly out of the ballpark that would be caught 10 feet in front of the wall at Wrigley.

[chibears55]

Got a bullpen game now

[Wilson A2000]

The ball is flying out of Dodger Stadium tonight

[Irrelevant Dude]

Are they using an anti-humidor?

[WhyCantWeWin]

Ump must be a dodgers fan

[JHBulls]

PCA, c’mon man. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Good hit by PCA but idk what he was doing on the basepaths there

[Irrelevant Dude]

Obviously a mistake by PCA there, but Willie Harris should have sent the runner.

[s2obed]

Bad PCA there. 

[soccer10k]

That was bad from Busch too. He needs to just stay at third. Obviously PCA was more at fault though.

That was a rocket by PCA, got out there pretty fast and Mookie has an arm if I’m not mistaken.

I was going to start watching this game an hour and a half ago but saw the 5-2 score and did something else. Looks like the Cubs have a little fight in them tonight.

How do I look up the stat that quantifies teams’ runs added on the bases? 

[UMFan83]

For as good as he legitimately is, PCA sure makes a lot of bizarre errors that most players don’t make. But great hit to tie at least.

FanGraphs has BsR. If you flip over to the advanced tab, they also have UBR.

I love late night baseball.  One of my favorite things used to be West Coast extra innings games that would go until 1-2am or later CDT, and sometimes falling asleep for a bit only to wake up and find the game still going in the 14th inning.  Not the greatest thing for the next day's productivity, but it was always worth it anyway.

I agree, but have to keep reminding myself he is only 22.  Those things will get cleaned up.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Man what is up with this umps strike zone

I see what you did there.

Yep and the good greatly greatly outweighs the bad. It’s just crazy how a player who is so skilled occasionally makes plays that really make you scratch your head

[WhyCantWeWin]

Long way to go but anyone know if Hodge is available tonight?

[chibears55]

I think PCA just automatically assumed Busch and the ball were going home, and Nico to third because he never even looked up to see where Nico or the ball was going and just sprinted towards 2B.

 

[UMFan83]

Well that sucks. 6 outs to get it tied/take the lead again
