Here is everything you need to know about Saturday’s debacle: Victor Caratini was the only Cubs pitcher who did not allow a baserunner.
That’s right, Caratini, the catcher who occasionally plays first base and whose pitches register just shy of 70 mph on the radar gun.
Almost everything else went badly as the Cubs lost 10-2 to the Mets.
“It was just one of those days, man,” manager Joe Maddon said. “They beat us soundly today. Every which way, they beat us.”
It started with, well, the starter.
Jose Quintana’s winless streak reached nine starts as he gave up a season-high nine runs (eight earned) in 4 1/3 innings.
