I know baseball players want to hit. But I swear, if I were managing against Chatwalk or a guy like Maples, I would tell the players to not take the bat off their shoulders until he struck out the side.
So there was the Shawon-o-Meter a few decades back. Can someone do the Projected-Win-Total-o-Meter or maybe the fWAR-o-Meter or some other [insert random sabermetric showing Cubs offensive or team prowess]-o-Meter after each remaining game on this road trip?? Maybe even take it all the way to the ASB. Thanks!
That last inning was/will be the Cubs only chance to score tonight and they blew it. From 1sr and 2nd and nobody out to four pitches later -inning over.
