Faithful, Too: “Game 13 W. Or so I read.”
Added 2025-04-08 12:26:15 +0000 UTCSome games get away from you. Some days get away from you. That was the case yesterday. Between staying late at work to supervise a project to staying even later at work to hop on a Zoom, I caught exactly zero minutes of last night’s shutout; a defeat of yet another opponent whose been playing great so far this season. The Cubs blanked the Rangers 7-0 in what was easily Steele’s best start of the year. Temps were frigid but Steele finally heated up.
Closing in on finalizing the bones of our upcoming Faithful/“A Face in the Crowd” episode so needless to say it’s been baseball-on-the-brain for much of the past two weeks. As for this past week, specifically, looks like the writers agree that Kyle Tucker was the NL Player of the Week. This is the best player the Cubs have had in a decade. I’m absolutely certain our cheap owners will not re-sign him in the offseason.
Will worry about that then. Now focused on the here and now.
