As a fellow Cubs fan, you're dead wrong.
The play Bartman disrupted didn't advance any runners. It was a foul ball. Cubs were up 3-0, with one out. Had Moises Alou caught the ball, there would have been two outs. The Marlins proceeded to score 4 runs before the second out occurred, and another 4 before the third.
Bartman didn't throw a wild pitch, or commit a fielding error, or give up 5 hits and eight runs. The Cubs did.
- jgalt212 12y agoYes, but all that happened after the Bartman incident. Pre Bartman, expected runs were 0.69. If Alou makes that catch, expected runs drop by over 50% to 0.33. http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/users/brooks/public_html/feda/datasets/expectedruns.html http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/users/brooks/public_html/feda/datas...
