The only thing the Cubs needed to against Cleveland was not get swept. So what do the Cubs do? They get swept. August 14, 2024, the Cubs season has ended, imo.
Whatever Cubs. They can not stay out of their own way can they? When they miss the playoffs, AGAIN, and Jed's seat gets hot, that'll be something, I guess.
That SS brain fart play that allowed Cody to score is one of those plays that I wish Hawk Harrelson was still calling Sox games. "What are you doing, Brooks Baldwin?!?!"
I might be in the minority but I love well executed bunts. If PCA can become really good at bunting with his speed=pure chaos. I'm not saying bunting should be his main offensive skill, I'm saying having that ability in his toolkit would make a dangerous hitter.
Maybe, maybe not but when you do things like this (like extended Moore before you have to) it makes players happy. The Bears clearly like the player and wants him here long-term.
So the Cubs have decided to be the punching bag for the rest of the NL Central? Alrighty then.
Pearson's ejection was stupid and the umpire knew it. As for Counsell, it took the TDL to uncorked some emotion. Better late than never.
