Presumably because of the brutal cold gripping the Midwest, the folks at Marquee decided to share a clip of one of the greatest regular season games I’ve ever seen (thankfully from the warm confines of a bar): that ungodly cold, massive come-back win over the Braves in April 2018. I love everything about that game.
So, I’ll spare the narrative – in case you’ve forgotten any of the game and want to enjoy fresh – and just share the highlights. First the comeback clip from Marquee that put the game on my brain, then the post-win production the Cubs put together, and then the condensed game if you REALLY want to dig in:
Down 8 runs in sub 30-degree temps?
