Game 7 of the 2016 World Series was the most pressurized event in human history

Jason [Whitlock] was coming for the crown... He said, 'Game seven was the most pressurized event, perhaps, in human history.' So thoughts and prayers to the Civil War. D-Day. Maybe if Theo [Epstein] had been working for the South, we'd all be speaking Cajun right now.

Hot Take Other Sports ScorchingSarcastic

The claim that a baseball game is more pressurized than D-Day or the Civil War is obviously, factually absurd.

Game 7 of the 2016 World Series was the greatest baseball game ever played

It was maybe the greatest Game 7 I've ever watched. I mean, I'm not going to say any sport, but definitely in baseball. It was so exciting. It had a little bit of everything.

Opinion Baseball Mild Subjective

The 2016 World Series Game 7 is widely regarded by sports historians and fans as one of the greatest games in MLB history.

The Cubs must name Jason Heyward captain next season for his rain delay speech

Jason Heyward had the greatest pump-up speech. $184 million speech is what Theo [Epstein] paid for. A players-only meeting during a rain delay. That's what you give the guy the big bucks... you've got to make Jason Heyward captain.

Opinion Baseball Medium

The Cubs did not name an official captain in 2017. They traditionally do not use the captain designation.

The Cubs do not win the World Series without Kyle Schwarber

I mean, the Cubs don't win the World Series without Kyle Schwarber. No, it's absolutely a fact. I think he had 10 hits.

Fact Claim Baseball Medium

Schwarber hit .412 with a .500 OBP in the World Series, including a key hit in the 10th inning of Game 7. While impossible to prove they 'don't' win without him, his impact was massive.
