i'm so sad about this it has really hurt us Yeah, he makes it sounds like the team has just been pounded with bad luck. We might be 50-15 with a +200 RD without injuries
Injuries just keep coming. So far we've had Schwarber, Heyward, Soler, Szczur, LaStella, Montero all either go on DL or miss multiple games because of injury. Fowlers looks like a multiple game injury at a minimum :(
If the Cubs went on a 16 game losing streak, they'd still be on pace for 90 wins, a win total they've achieved 2 times in the last 27 years (not counting 98 when it took them 163 games)
Would have had to use 2 PH if Contreras got on? That's my best guess. Already used Coghlan, Bryant is hung over, Ross might still be banged up leaving only Heyward left on the bench. Although with a 6 run lead I'm not sure why that matters. I tried...
The first time I saw it (in real time) I was perplexed. The replay to me showed he was turning the corner and running to third, saw Harrison and tried to change his route and slow up but instead collided.
