Last things first, the Cubs lost in extra innings, dropping their record in such games to 3-5. On a Saturday morning ahead of another day game, I won’t waste a lot of words on my thoughts on ghost baserunners. Across every team who entered play Friday night at .500 or better, teams were 56-55 in extra innings. So it’s pretty random baseball. Ignoring the Rockies who are basically the worst at everything, NL Central foes St. Louis and Cincinnati have the worst record in such games at 1-5 each. The Angels at 4-0 are the best in baseball. The Rangers are the only team who hasn’t played extras.
