There was zero reason for Lackey to even be in this inning. Can't wait until I hear Joe try and justify that.

 

Sometimes you have to gamble on getting an extra inning, this is the 5th of 20 consecutive games and the pen through 4.2 innings yesterday. Lackey wasn't exhausted and 7-8-9 were due up.

 

He hit 3 people in one inning, I don't care how fresh he was. Clearly he was not locating anything and shouldn't have been out there.

What's Monty for out there then if he can't come in yesterday or today and soak up a few innings?

 

That was also an option. My point is not that it was clear cut to leave Lackey in, but that it wasn't clear cut to pull him. This is also a game where Joe probably expects to score 2+ more runs(what with Rodon only going 4 and a terrible pen behind him), which increases the margin for error.

If Lackey's final full inning as a Cub ends up being him plunking 3 White Sox without giving up a run, well, then that's not a terrible legacy.
