And apparently the Cub starter hasn’t allowed a run through 5.
12-0 now. Cubs are absolutely mashing the Dodgers.
The only way this could be worse is if you had Urìas as one of your fantasy starters today.
Smyly perfect through 6.
I remember JD saying he was excited and looking forward to being on a superstation like WGN. I wonder if he has any regrets.
Mancini 3 hits today and 3 RBIs.
And a couple of nice plays on pop fouls in the sun.
Perfect through 7, but sitting at 94 pitches.
He’s got to have about 20 left.
Glad Mancini is doing well.
He really needed a day like today.
Holy fucking shit, what an absolutely fucking idiotic way to end a perfect game.
Broken bat dribbler up the 3rd base line, Smyly went to pick it up and the Jan Gomes JUMPED ON HIS BACK AND KNOCKED THEM BOTH OVER trying to get out of the way… or something?
The lovable loser Cubs will find away.
And that’ll do it for Smyly, 7 2/3s of one hit baseball for him.
It looks like Gomes was going to try a barehanded backhand grab, spin and throw, don’t think he had ever considered Smyly might have plans too.
I’m happy for him. He clearly wanted to contribute more but if nothing else, his play at 1b will live forever.
Just saw it and this is a perfectly accurate description
