Cold weather Georgie tonight

Myth

Well yeah, I meant it more as a facetious way of saying Georgie had a bad game than blaming the weather/using it as an explanation for it.

[David]

Can we please get this piece of garbage off the mound

[UMFan83]

I really don't know what Joe sees in Wood.

 

Welp tying run up with 0 outs for the heart of the Rockies order

[Hunter]

I may have to redirect my Joe Smith hatred.

[Schwarber Fan]

I know we have a huge lead but we're really at the point where we have 0 reliable relievers behind Chapman depending on how you feel about Edwards.

[ScrubMD]

Maddon just really really likes Travis Wood. Whatcha gonna do?

[UMFan83]

Surprised it's not Grimm here

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I have admittedly not watched games in their entirety much this month, but by my calculations Wood has thrown 20+ pitches in relief in about 75% of the last 30 games.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Of course Wood makes Edwards job really difficult this inning. Wood should have never started this inning off to begin with.

Basically depending on if you are an idiot

Grimm hasn't allowed a run since June

The bullpen options are quite limited tonight and with the division lead/likely needing multiple pitchers tomorrow I get trying to squeeze another inning out of him.

Yup. He is trash.

 

Chapman's eighth inning hangup is really irritating right now

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Yes, if you ignore the two great relievers who are temporarily hurt(one with a non-arm injury), come up with a reason to not like Edwards(who has been dominant), and also ignore Grimm who has been fantastic for a good while now, there is very little to trust in the bullpen.

Len said something earlier in the game that they really would like to not use him tonight

I mean, pretty obvious he means right now so strop and rondon are irrelevant, but yeah Edwards and Grimm are perfectly cromulent

[Transmogrified Tiger]

thanks, anti-bartman

[Cubswin11]

That fan saved a run there, thanks buddy

[UMFan83]

Yeah this is not going well :(

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Travis Wood has a 3-0 record and an ERA under 3? Wtf?!?!?!

well, he did...

[Ding Dong Johnson]

horsefeathers!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

then again, they called Scissors out the other night so...

[Schwarber Fan]

horsefeathers replay if this gets switched.

[David]

Damn. Unless he pulled a kB with his foot, we're tied Edited August 20, 2016 by David
