Ted Williams once said pitchers are the dumbest members of a baseball team. Right down the middle is asking to get smoked. And yet, Dansby and half the MLB world can’t do a damn thing about it.
Wtf just happened? I went to the bathroom while Cabrera was pitching in the 7th inning and fewer than 10 minutes later, Flexen is pitching in the 8th. If our hitters had a six pitch 6th inning, then how short was the 7th?
Crazy. So to avoid 122 losses to set a new record, the Rockies would need to go 32-74 the rest of the way. I have my doubts they can even manage 30 wins for the entire year.
All this went down in May/June 2019 and he actually did return to the Cubs in September of that year (weirdly made his return to the walk up that his wife sang).
Retired early the next year.
