What were the highlights of the Cubs game against the Angels?
last night's Cubs game just was sad and dreary it happened that's what last night's Cubs game did it happened
And I understand, like, there are days and nights. We might have another droopy day today at Wrigley Field when the weather is like this and it's cold and it just doesn't feel good. And the Cubs did lose to the Angels last night by a final score of 2-0. The Cubs were shut out, as you heard, with Pat and Ron and Zach. Right here on 104.3, the score. The game was essentially in the sixth inning where the Angels score two runs in that frame. Angels then had second and third with nobody out. Phil Maton retires the next two, goes one and two on Logan O'Hoppy. Oh, happy. Before a 105-mile-per-hour two-run single on which Bregman just couldn't handle it, wasn't in front of it, but that was a blazer that got past him.
I know it's bad form, but my initial thought was, would Matt Shaw have caught that at third base? And I say that because not... Alex Bregman being a great defender, we know he is, but Matt Shaw was a gold glove finalist last year. And the ball did hit his... Easy for me to say, right? Watching on television versus watching what actually transpires. And you're like, if he could have just caught that, then we're talking about a game that's still scoreless and they're out of the inning and who knows what happens. Right? No more runs were scored after that, Mark.
That's true. I mean, I was mostly okay with Bragman. I mean, that was just a rip, and we know they call it the hot corner for a reason. He could have been in, or the way he was positioned, if he was a step over, he's in front of that ball, it probably knocks off his chest because it was hit so hard. But obviously, the two runs, maybe zero runs. score in that particular play you also had and we talked about it a little bit in transition part of what made it runners on second and third was the the pca missed timing on do i dive do i stay back on it the old ball you know where it's like an oh oh no moment where you see that ball luckily i think it was hap that backed them up that i thought it was shaw was it shaw maybe it was shaw maybe you're right it was shaw but like we've seen like that's inside the park home run stuff in general in baseball when the center fielder misplays a dive or waits back on a ball i don't think pc ever debated in his mind at all laying up on that he the whole time is like i'm going to catch it you know what
Good on PCA, because that's what he does, Mark. He catches balls that otherwise would probably not be caught. So I can't be mad at that one play. Now, in this game, it was a huge factor because of the fact that the Cubs didn't score any runs. And that's really what this is about. This is about, in a couple of these games now, the Cubs' inability to come up with consistent offense has been why they are off to the 2-3 start that they're off to.
Yeah, they were 0-4 with runners in scoring position. They ended up leaving seven men on. But again, it's like I'm playing along, watching the game, and I'm feeling droopy watching it, just looking at the atmosphere and the sparse crowd. You see the bald spots all over Wrigley Field because a lot of people are like, you know what, honey? Let's not go to tonight's game. This does not feel good out here. Hopefully... And I get it. Not an excuse. Bregman even talked about it afterwards. Yeah, I played in cold before. We all played in cold. It's not an excuse. It's not an excuse. But it's kind of an excuse because it hurts to hit. If you played baseball at any level, it just hurts to hit. And the conditions were not favorable in that case.
Jamison Tyone, Mars Hall. Was he good last night? Four and two-thirds. Didn't allow a run. Allowed two hits. Did you think he was good?
I think he was good enough. I think it was good enough. Anytime you can pitch now, would I like to see him go deeper? Yes. Do I understand why he was pulled when he was pulled?
How did the Cubs' defense impact the game?
Absolutely. But if he's not going to give up any runs, I'm not going to be mad at Jamison Tyone. Especially when you're talking about the first start of the season.
