Before that hit I was telling my mom that I wasn't sure what would be worse: The runner scores, or the Giants get out of this, because the latter just reinforces the idea that this is an okay strategy to employ when everyone knows it's a time bomb

Another feast or famine game for the Cubs. In 41 games, this year's offense has scored...
  • 0-1 runs: 9 times (22%)
  • 2-3 runs: 12 times (29%)
  • 4-5 runs: 5 times (12%)
  • 6-7 runs: 1 time (2%)
  • 8+ runs: 14 times (34%)

The Giants have one fly ball in this game and it went into the seats. Everything else is groundouts or popouts

You know the runners scoring will change nothing about how Bochy uses him in the future. Just like how he'll until there are already runners on the bases before calling in Gearrin.

I watched it in anchorage with my father in law who likes to disparage whatever team I’m a fan of while they lose so it was extremely satisfying.

Also: Root Sports is included with their cable package but the mlb.tv app thinks I’m out of market on my phone so I could leave the room and watch in peace when he got too grating.

Extremely satisfying to get 4 walks in an inning and have all four of them score.

That 7th inning was a thing of beauty.

Literally worse than Bartman.

Yep, cost us a run at the time (though we got it by the end of the inning)

In April he showed at least some understanding of the strike zone so we know he's capable.
