After living in Chicago for four years, I made a lot of friends who are Cubs fans, and I still follow some of those people on Twitter. It was interesting to see their reactions after Pablo Sandoval walked-off on their beloved sports team by homering off a pitch down at his shoe tops. Among this subsection of Cubs Twitter I’m privy to, there existed the common refrain of, “Man, that’s bullshirt. That wasn’t even a hittable pitch.”
My friends, that’s just what Pablo Sandoval does. He’s a free-swinging, bad-ball beating wonder. Like the Cubs’ Javier Báez, he’s an easy hitter to pitch to.
