Despite 9 straight losses, I saw Nellie’s laser to gun down a runner at home, Morel’s energy to start a rally, and a clutch Nico with a 3-hit game including the game winner in the bottom of the 8th. Oh, and a win is always satisfying to me.
They get a run on a bases loaded BB. But once again with a runner on third and less than 2 outs, the cubs can't capitalize. And can't put the ball in play either with Bote and Velazquez striking out. All tied at 1.
I acctually don't even think it's close. They've had some really rotten teams in my lifetime. They have zero depth, so the injuries have really taken their toll.
Check out the projections in the article,. PCA projects as a low-end regular NEXT YEAR. That's insanity for a guy with ~300 plate appearances in A Ball. I thought PCA was a plus defender. "Credible" sounds like his defense is being a bit minimized.
