did he almost throw it away? mlb.tv wasn't working, so i was watching on gameday. it said "swinging strike (blocked)" and then took forever to update to final. it was terrifying
yeah, but that's good. it means the world series didn't make cubs baseball. the season after the blackhawks won their first cup, i found it really hard to be invested. i haven't really felt that way about the cubs at all.
now that the shock is gone, i'm really excited to have saad back. we'll probably end up bringing sharp back too. he might kind of suck, but it will still be cool.
Butler wasn't exactly great himself. also he was over 90 pitches so it shouldn't be a huge controversy Those are good points and he did look like his usual ugly somehow effective self... he hasn't been usually effective, he sucks
