The Cubs on Wednesday night mercilessly pummelled the Indians by the score of 17-0 (box score). Buried under that pile of runs is a gem of an outing by Cubs starter Tsuyoshi Wada. Wada twirled 7.0 shutout innings, allowing four hits and striking out six against just two walks.
Wada, a native of Japan who's in his second season in the U.S. major leagues, is not fluent in English, but after Wednesday's outing, his manager, Joe Maddon, taught him a useful way to describe himself. As it turns out, Mr. Wada was quite fond of the new addition to his English vocabulary. Please regard the following transcript, which comes via @AugustF_MLB of MLB.com ...
Tsuyoshi Wada, badass. Joe Maddon, badass whisperer.
