gonna be disappointed if the cubs don’t lose because the pitcher has to bat because the cubs ran out of position players after ross pinch ran villar, who was immediately doubled off, and then didn’t stay in the game.
thankfully it’s the heyward/madrigal experience in the bottom half. it’s so hard to be a good offensive team when the bottom your order is just absolute trash.
cubs were probably never gonna be very good, but they sure as horsefeathers aren't gonna be good with hendricks and stroman both being terrible. yikes.
can’t believe that in 2022 umps still fall for the “yank the ball 8 inches toward the plate” move. if the catcher moves it THAT much he prob knows it wasn’t a strike dummy.
that might be the game that ends any optimistic hope of being decent. giving that one away followed by going like 4-10 in this next brutal stretch and being 9 games out seems pretty possible.
well down 1 with 2 outs in the 9th at least wisdom is up with a chance to go deep and tie it. oops the slappiest hitter in baseball pinch hit for him in the 7th nevermind.
