Between the Cubs’ poor play on the field, the ridiculous length of this game and the horrific Players Weekend uniforms, the Cubs’ 7-2 loss to the Nationals might have been the least enjoyable game of the season, if not the worst.
You know, Jose Quintana deserved better. Of the first 13 Nats batters of the game, just two hit the ball out of the infield, and both of those were for outs (fly balls to left). Unfortunately, some balls that couldn’t be fielded, two uncharacteristic errors by Anthony Rizzo and a couple of walks later, the Nats wound up with a 5-0 lead after three.
