    I hadn't even thought about that, but yep. That would've almost been a Johnny Evers/Fred Merkle type of situation where a heads-up infielder nullifies a whole bunch of stuff that happened after.

    Here. Just watch.

    I cannot even begin to explain what Javy Baez just did, but it resulted in a run and him standing on second base on what should've been a routine play.

    I loathe the idea of ties too, but if you gave me the choice of ties after 12 or this current crap, give me ties all day. If they agreed to ties, would then MLB go to a standings point based system similar to the NHL? I hadn't thought it through, but baseball isn't a continuous sport the way hockey is; teams can't give up runs in a failed attempt to score themselves. So that probably wouldn't be necessary - which isn't to say it might not still happen.

    Kris Bryant homered again. Anthony Rizzo is out of the lineup again with the 'we're definitely going to put him on the injured list in 3 weeks but will happily play shorthanded until then' back injury.

    I thought I had heard of someone doing that before so I looked it up and Kenley Jansen did it 2 years ago. https://www.mlb.com/news/kenley-jansen-executes-intentional-balk

    Cubs signed Dee Strange-Gordon (you probably remember him better as Dee Gordon) to a minor-league deal. Ominous indicator of Nico's injury status.

    I'm kind of stunned he swung at all.
  10. Andy
    That swing by Javy was pure sex

    I'll give Ross this, I'm not used to the perfectly logical move of bringing on the closer in this particular spot

    This ump is slobbering Wainwright and Molina's collective knob even more than the broadcast team is

    It's obviously a good thing when every one of your losses seems to be by one run, but the problem with it is every single one of your losses is by one horsefeathering run
  14. Andy
    Thank goodness I missed the Molina HR while putting my kids to bed because whenever that horsefeathering poser does anything my heart dies a bit.

    Whoever Williams is apparently thought Eric Sogard's walk up music just couldn't be topped
  16. Andy
    Len took some time to start doing that too. It wasn't until the Aramis game winner against Milwaukee (to me anyway) that he truly felt like our guy, and that was his 3rd year here.
  17. Andy
    Boog is excellent at the job and he and JD are fun together. There's an ineffable warmth the Len/JD team brought that isn't quite there for me yet, and it's probably got a lot to do with the fact that I got so used to Boog as a national voice. But our booth continues to be among the best in the game.

    God Bryant is just horsefeathering sensational right now
  19. Andy
    Fun and/or pointless fact: I covered the kid that put the ball in play. He went to a local high school. That team also faced Syndergaard yesterday. Talk about your 'welcome to the pros' moment for any first-timers in that lineup.
  20. Andy
    Seems suboptimal that in the 8th inning of a close game we trail we have PJ Higgins and Eric Sogard taking consecutive at bats
  21. Andy
    Cubs night games before Memorial Day and after Labor Day have been starting at 6:30 since 2019.
  22. Andy
    Using one of my bench-player swaps; drop Nimmo, add Mike Zunino.
  23. Andy
    Max Scherzer is an all-time great and yet this will always come to mind when I think of him.
  24. Andy
    Your feed just stopped every time a half inning ended too?
  25. Andy
    He should be fired over this. Not remotely joking. But of course if this wasn't what Reinsdorf wanted he wouldn't have hired him to begin with.
