that game was fun as horsefeathers obviously, but are people really saying PCA at 2nd with 1 out is preferable to Kelly at 3rd, PCA at 1st (soon to be 2nd when he steals without a throw on the first pitch) with no outs because of…base clogging?
very happy with the guys the cubs ended up with, BUT a) the detmers rug pull makes it feel worse b) giving up a top 100 guy for a rental seems ridiculous. can live with losing ballesteros.
I mean that is annoying, but I’ll take 6 ip, 2 er from Rea every time.
they lost because PCA is in a real mike trout situation right now and nico is too horsefeathers dumb to understand leverage.
as cool as it is to see PCA walk three times a game (and I realize the cubs need soooo much pitching), it would be very nice to add another offensive superstar to this lineup. a lineup of PCA and a bunch of guys that are technically above league average but all by like 7% is a slight bummer, especially if PCA does this every season
it’s dumb baseball just like forgetting how many outs there, throwing to the wrong base, missing cutoff man, etc is dumb baseball. they’ve had enough experience with ABS at this point that there is no excuse for screwing up like that.
