Time To Enjoy Two Crazy Chicago Cubs Walk-Offs From 2021



 Since not much is happening in the Cubs world besides Cubs pitchers having a deadlifting competition and Cubs fans singing carols with the purpose of bringing Correa to the Cubs:


And Correa responded and wished Cubs fans a Happy Holidays:

 

So, besides that, not much has been happening, so it's time to go back and remember two crazy Cubs walk-offs from 2021.

1. Ian Happ Walks-Off On a Pop-Up

This was pretty crazy and also pretty stupid, but they were playing the Pirates, and when you're playing a team like that, things like this happen.



Of course, Jomboy had a pretty good breakdown of this play, but it's a pretty crazy moment and I'm glad it happened...and in the Cubs' favor.

2. Javier Baez Walks It Off Verses Amir Garrett

If you know anything about intra-divisional teams, it's that they have rivalries. The case is here with AG and El Mago, who have been chawing at each other for quite a while.



But, it worked out in Javy's favor and the Cubs got the win and the sweep verses one of their big rivals. 

I hope you enjoyed these flash-back moments, and if you have any other favorite Cubs moments from 2021, make sure you comment it below!

Reliving the Cubs' 2016 Postseason Highlights

 As we enter the final stretch for baseball in 2021- a Braves/Astros World Series, it's a good time to look back at memorable Cubs' history in 2016, when the Cubs broke a 108 year WS win drought to beat the Indians in the World Series. The Cubs cruised to a 103-58 standing at the end of the season, getting the NL Central pennant and meaning they'd face the winner of the Wild Card, who ended up being the Giants. Game One of the NLDS Jon Lester threw 8 shut-out innings, Chapman closed the 9th with a shut-out against the Giants and Javier Baez solo-homered in the 8th to give the Cubs a 1-0 win against the Giants and get the 1-0 series lead. Game Two of the NLDS Kyle Hendricks started the game, only allowing 2 runs, and he drove in 2 runs himself in the 2nd with a single, but he left the game in the 3rd due to a line-drive injury. Reliever Travis Wood replaced Hendricks, and hit a home run, yes a home run in the 4th to give the Cubs a 5-2 lead. That was the first homer to be hi...

Articles Coming Again to Cubbies Gazette?

It's been awhile Cubs fans. I've been pretty active on Twitter, so if you haven't yet, give me a follow there. There's plenty of Cubs blogs out there, with my personal favorite being Bleacher Nation. So I don't intend to just repeat or say the same things others are saying, but I want to provide my thoughts on certain things that might differ or be new to Cubs fans.  Basically, I want to write brief articles on different Cubs related topics that might be new or original. This is just a hobby for me, so don't expect articles every single day. I'll also be sharing some thoughts of others from Twitter that I found interesting. If you're interested in writing for Cubbies Gazette, DM me on Twitter or email me at cubbiesgazette@gmail.com. Thanks for all of your support on Twitter, and as always, GO CUBS GO!

Evaluating the Cubs' Defense

  Just to start off, it was good to see the Braves beat the Dodgers, and even more satisfying seeing it was a walk-off hit by Austin Riley. Still hoping for a Red Sox/Braves World Series- it'd be a nice change of pace. Anyway, back to our topic for today: The Cubs' Defense. Overall ranking for defensive efficiency, the Cubs ranked no.20, just ahead of the Marlins and just behind the Twins, so certainly not good, but hey, the Cubs aren't number 30! Since a lot of fielding stats are confusing and probably won't mean much to you, I'm just going to highlight a few areas and explain them in everyday terms. 1. Shortstop and Second were a BIG Problem. A total of 41 errors of the teams' 87 errors were made at second or shortstop. That's almost half of the teams' errors at two positions! Javier Baez made an obnoxious total of 18 errors at shortstop before he left (strange for a guy who was a gold glove finalist in 2020), and Sergio Alcantara made 9 errors in his ...
