That’s a strike

[Brian]

this team really forgot what horsefeathers the closer actually means

[chibears55]

No Strop or Morrow now for the playoffs

[Cubswin11]

That’s just some awful luck. Sticking with Pedro was the right move I think

[Lefty]

If Rosario gets 1 out I'll be surprised.

I am.

[NotSoSober]

Maddon fuckin sucks

[minnesotacubsfan]

No Strop or Morrow now for the playoffs

 

do we know that?

[TMan92]

Having strop swing the bat was not. There is no answer that makes sense.

[Schwarber Fan]

I don’t think it’s that insane to root for this team to miss the playoffs at this point. Say “crapshoot” all you want, this bullpen was barely holding up with Strop healthy. You can completely forget about it now.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Come on Randy. Throw a damn strike.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

No Strop or Morrow now for the playoffs

 

do we know that?

 

Do we know there will be playoffs?

[Derwood]

That’s just some awful luck. Sticking with Pedro was the right move I think

 

No, it was not the right move. Or if you're going to have him bat, he bunts until he strikes out

Question: Why would you root for then to miss the playoffs? Like, how does that help next season? The amount of extra rest wouldn't be that great.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Murphy with his version of a web gem!!

[Schwarber Fan]

Oddly athletic play by Murphy there.

[Brian]

Zimmerman is going to HR to keep this going

[chibears55]

No Strop or Morrow now for the playoffs

 

do we know that?

Morrow said he still feels pain and Strop has 2 weeks to heal..

 

Not looking good and if they do return, most definitely wont be anywhere near healthy

[soccer10k]

That’s just some awful luck. Sticking with Pedro was the right move I think

 

Then you tell him not to swing.

 

Just terrible.

Just to avoid heartbreak, I guess?

 

But yeah, you’re right of course.

[Brian]

transplant Gore's hamstring into Pedro

basically losing out would be less heartbreaking than losing 1 or 3 games in October?

It was absolutely the right move to stick with him, him getting hurt there on a non HBP is crazy unlucky. Sure probably should’ve said don’t swing. But with the lead and only at like 20 pitches and where the bullpen is at I think it was the right move.

Thought for sure he'd squeeze or keep bat on shoulder there
