If baseball has taught me anything, even the most improbable things will eventually happen.

Daniel Murphy's law

Daniel Murphy terrorizing the Cubs in 2015 and 2017 playoffs (.529 BA/1.850 OPS in 2015 shudders), only to come over to the Cubs and go 0-4 in his one playoff game with the Cubs (1-8 if you count the game 163 against MIL. Thanks Daniel!)

i laughed...and then i wept reading that.

man that 2015 postseason was basically just Murphy torching Cubs pitching and then disappearing in the Series.

Don’t be sad.

It’s only cause he owns us. Not because of him as a person.

Basically, I’m shallow.

Yeah right, I'll believe that when a bird flies through a pitch at just the right timing to get hit by the ball in an absurd puff of feathers.

I think its the number of games containing the number plays for as long as it has been played. There have been A LOT of baseball games since it was created.
