Good teams capitalize on other teams' mistakes. -Cardinals announcers if this was happening in reverse.

Coke coming out to start the 8th

have to keep this high going

That was probably the right mathematical play. It's hard to model, but decreased offensive environment/Wrigley in April/up 1 run late/not a particularly strong #5 hitter changes the calculations quite a bit.

yeah, i get it. Hate giving up the first out of an inning with a runner on 2b by taking the bat out of a #5 hitter's hands. Hope the BP holds.

[Guest]

super scz coming in for defense

I don't have a problem with it as long as it's Chris Coghlan.
