In between their broadcasts of Taylor McGregor’s kayak adventures in the Bay and the Corner Taproom in Colin Rea‘s hometown of Cascade, Iowa on Wednesday night, Marquee managed to show some Cubs highlights. Nico Hoerner‘s three-run homer provided the only offense for a team that routinely struggled to surpass three runs per game this month, making the constant cutaways less of a nuisance than they might otherwise have been. I don’t think most viewers took the novelty very well, though.
I didn’t really mind, as it distracted from yet another poor performance that felt both inevitable and preventable.
