My kingdom for an afternoon game. At least this Sunday Night Baseball Affair gets an earlier start than either of its predecessors. The Cubs tied up the series last night with a relentless 16-0 drubbing of the Dodgers that stands as the worst shutout loss in franchise history. It was also the Cubs’ fourth ever road shutout win of 15+ runs, most in MLB history. I was at one of those in Cleveland back in 2015, fun times.
Their lopsided victory also puts the Cubs ahead of their foes in the run-differential category, which is what we’re all truly focused on at this point.
