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...

Saturday Cubs News: CBA Negotiations, More Contreras and Correa Rumors, Would Baez Return, and Other News

  Braves shut out the Astros last night, including no-hitting them into the 7th inning, which gives them the 2-1 series lead, so that's good news to me. Let's start out by a few MLB news tidbits. The Padres hired Bob Melvin, who was the current Athletics manager, to be their new manager. Although a pretty abrupt move out of nowhere, Melvin is a manager with lots of experience who has managed a team that has been making the playoffs the last few years, and maybe will help guide the Padres in that direction. The PETA wants to rename "bullpen" to "arm barn" saying that the former is offensive to cows. I won't say too much on this so I don't lose my temper, but THE COWS DON'T EVEN WATCH MLB! One of the most ridiculous things I've heard in baseball for a while now... Albert Pujols, one of the more ancient specimens in baseball right now, is going to be playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic, and said that he wasn't ready to retire yet. ...

Evaluating Ian Happ's 2021 Season

  Ian Happ had the Cubs' front office's trust going into the 2021 season, gaining an Opening Day lead-off spot, and the hopes that he would be a reliable, everyday lead-off hitter getting good results like he did in 2020. But, that was not the case, especially in the first half of the season, batting a deplorable .183/.296/.330 with only 42 hits and 9 homeruns in 230 AB. That was not the results the Cubs were hoping to get from the player that was their best in 2020. In the second half of the season, however, Happ started warming up. (Just a little late perhaps?) He batted . 268/.350/.536 with 63 hits and 16 homeruns in 235 AB, a remarkable change from the bad results he was having the first half. In September/October alone, Happ batted .317/.405/.615 with a 1.020 OPS in 104 AB. That is more like the Happ the Cubs were expecting him to be like, only even a little better! If you viewed those results only, you would consider Happ to be one of your best players, which indeed he ...
