Baseball has a funny sense of humor, particularly on a game versus game bases. Regardless of what level it is played at, baseball generally wants to be played in the largest quantity that makes any logistical sense for the players at the level. That’s because in one game samples, you can get some pretty odd results. The easiest one of those odd results on Friday was the Cubs pitching staff, mediocre at best, holding the powerhouse Yankees to just six hits over 13 innings.
But what led me to think of baseball’s sense of humor was Jason Heyward.
