The play at the plate in the ninth inning of the Cubs’ 3-2 loss to the Mets has already been covered in BCB After Dark, but it’s the talk of Cubs fans this morning, so here’s my take.
The headline to this recap should give you a clue as to how I feel about that play. Cubs fans from the first decade of this century should well remember 2003-04 third-base coach Wendell Kim, known as “Wavin’ Wendell” because he often sent runners around third base to their doom at home plate.
That’s what we got from third-base coach Willie Harris Tuesday night in New York.
