Good lord with the WTP, JayHey

Almora for Schwarber is a sad situation.

[UMFan83]

Heyward is pretty damn good right now. That one was into the wind against a situational lefty too. Would have been a 3 run HR on many days

[Derwood]

Almora for Schwarber is a sad situation.

 

and now Jay for Almora, so we burn 3 outfielders in one at-bat

You just know Jay is gonna strike out here haha

[BigSlick]

Is...Jason Heyward....good now?

[UMFan83]

Chess match in the 6th inning, but I get it...with the way the offense has gone, you want the best matchup you can get in for this critical AB. Schwarber vs. LHP and Almora vs. RHP are 2 of the worst matchups you can get for the Cubs.

if that was 402 it would have been a third of the way up the bleachers instead of landing near the base of the wall

[UMFan83]

Is...Jason Heyward....good now?

 

He does have the highest average exit velocity on the team for the season so at this point, I don't think it's a fluke

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Almora for Schwarber is a sad situation.

 

and now Jay for Almora, so we burn 3 outfielders in one at-bat

2.5

[UMFan83]

and of course he GIDP's

 

2017 Cubs y'all

[Banedon]

I know, I shouldn't judge based on the results, but man that inning felt overmanaged by Joe. I know it was a high leverage moment, but it's the 6th.

[Derwood]

You just know Jay is gonna strike out here haha

 

That would have been better than the actual result

[Thed Hoyerstein]

baseball is so stupid

Inches from a 4-2 lead, instead we have to settle for a tie game

[BigSlick]

good lord, scoring runs isn't that hard you idiots

[We Got The Whole 9]

You just know Jay is gonna strike out here haha

 

That would have been better than the actual result

Surely. horsefeathers this sport right now.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

it's going to be so much fun when Russell and Zobrist collide and have to leave this inning, leaving Strop to play 2B

[UMFan83]

Can't wait to see Kyle Hendricks PH'ing in the 11th inning because our bench is down to just Javy now.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Joe over-managed the horsefeathers out of that and emptied the bench.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

don't look now, but bojack got his era under 5

[UMFan83]

Joe over-managed the horsefeathers out of that and emptied the bench.

 

But again, ignoring results, Jay vs. RHP was a lot more optimal than Almora vs. RHP or Schwarber vs. LHP.

 

If the Cubs offense was hitting, there's no way he would have done that, but with the bases loaded 1 out in the 6th inning in a tie game with a horribly slumping offense, I don't mind Joe wanting to give the Cubs the best possible matchup in that situation. Plus it takes the worst hitter (currently) and fielder on the team out of the game.

 

I must have missed why Contreras got into the game though...I didn't understand that.

[UMFan83]

Dammit we missed out on a Siegrist vs. Rizzo matchup :(
