after leadoff guy got on, there was identical singles that took the runner from 1st to 3rd via a ground ball single through the 1B-2B hole, the second one scoring the first run of the inning.
I've only watched a little of Kyle this year including about 2 batters today but the admittedly small amount I've seen, he doesn't seem to have the pinpoint command that he had so often last year.
Did they really give 1,908 of THOSE rings out? There had to have been a lesser version given out to the majority of those 1,908 people right? Otherwise you are looking at roughly $135 million spent on rings.
if he circled the bases yeah but the play is dead once they call him out right? They can't allow anything that happens after that to count when the Cubs were treating it like the play is over.
Obviously he's not going to get anywhere close to the max. However I will be super interested to see what contract he gets. I would guess it would be a 'prove it' type of deal like 2 yr/$30m or something.
