Very little is the same as it was in the 90’s for MLB. Definitely on that list is that playing in Colorado is not as supercharged as it once was. That said, to this day you can pretty well guess that hitters look forward to their trip to Denver and pitchers would rather skip it. Even with this pretty bad Rockies team, you can see where this wouldn’t have been super enjoyable for the Cubs pitching staff.
The Cubs offense produced 15 hits in this one and drew four walks. That’s a pretty exceptional output all by itself. But digging deeper, five of the hits were doubles, one a triple and four were homers. Seven different Cubs had hits and six of them had two or more. Ironically, arguably their two biggest stars — Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong — were the two without a hit. Tucker had a pair of walks and scored once. PCA had a sac fly to drive in a run.
