OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Who is that guy doing the audio for Cub games on MLB TV?  He sounds like he is 14 years old.  What happened to the crew who did the games for WGN?

I don't know who he is either, but during last night's game he informed us that not only did David Bote have two walk-offs last year, but he hit them both when the Cubs were behind!

You can't hit a walk-off with your team tied?

It doesn't make much difference, does it?  Your team's not winning, and then all of a sudden, you win!

Sorry to split hairs here, ole mate, but I've gone on some Twitter crusades about announcers failing to make the distinction between a walk-off hit and a lead-changing walkoff hit.  It actually makes quite a bit of difference in that in one case you're about to lose the game but in the other there's no such risk.  Lead-changing walkoff homers are far more exciting than walkoffs that occur when a game is tied, in my humblest of opinions.

Also, do we know for a fact that Bote even hit 2 lead-changing walkoff homers?   I know the granny off Ryan Madson was a lead-changing shot, but I don't think his other one was.  I'm pretty sure I'd remember it if it was because, as I've just demonstrated, I'm pretty goddamn vigilant in recognizing the difference (and goddamnit, Tonker should be too).
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Mike D. is right. The other came a couple weeks after his "golden" slam against the Reds with the score tied 2-2.

Also, of note: this game in which he hit a 1-out, 2-run homer to tie the game at 6. Rizzo followed with the walkoff homer.

His other homers were a 3-run shot in an 9-0 trouncing of the Reds, a 2-run homer in an 8-2 decision at Detroit, and a solo shot in a 5-2 win against Detroit.

The Cubs were 6-0 in games in which Bote homered.

Bote also walked a walk-off in July against the Reds.

Don't forget, Bote also walked off a cliff once the calendar turned August.
