I don't mind leaving him in for one more batter, but that's just me.

 

He wasn't very effective last inning and he was already up over 90 pitches and the Cubs had a 4 run lead.

I wouldn't mind leaving Z in for the rest of this inning. It's just Craig Counsell and a pinch hitter.

I don't mind leaving Z in either-his pitch count isn't absurdly high, and your ace has to be given a little latitude-this is a low pressure situation to give him some latitude to work it out with a 3 run lead and nobody on. Next batter to get on Carlos will get pulled.

 

BTW, that's one under-rated thing that I think the Cubs missed last year when Lee went down-his defense can really help the pitcher. That's 2 plays resulting in 3 extra outs for the Cubs pitchers just today.
