The Cubs Can't Touch Cleveland's Breaking Stuff
If there’s a single image that sums up the the first five games of the 2016 World Series, it’s one of the Cubs’ many supposedly mighty hitters feebly swinging at a breaking ball in the dirt. At this point, I think Javier Báez would swing at a ball that was rolled to the plate....

Last night’s World Series Game 3 wasn’t quite the pristine pitching match-up its 1-0 final score might indicate—there was an inconsistent strike zone, some very poor base running, Cleveland couldn’t score runners in scoring position for most of the game and each team ended up reaching for relief arm...
