Cubs get jacked by the umpires all the time. I assume this is equally distributed across the league, but damn. There is no excuse for not getting things right with the technology available.
Yeah, there was a great tweet in response to this. It was something like, “I live in Tulsa and I can’t watch the Astros, Rangers, Royals, or Cardinals or any of the teams they play, But wRC+ is what is ruining baseball”.
This is almost as bad as a decision as putting in the wife choker star closer to pitch a game in the World Series and throw 47 pitches. It worked out ok. I’m not sure this one will.
I've never been less excited about the Cubs getting a better than average position player. Hopefully, someone in the media will ask him about his views and if they've changed.
