6.28 Cubs vs Reds (Keegan Thompson is good now?)

[Bertz]

Maybe even *really* good?

[Tim]

He sure looks pretty darned good.

 

Also...I had no idea India was blowing so hard this year.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Both teams swinging through a lot of fastballs so far

Both teams are pretty bad.

[We Got The Whole 9]

This is supreme efficiency, Keegan. Hot damn!

[Bertz]

23 Ks and 3 walks in Keegan's last 17 innings. If we're nitpicking the groundball rate has dried up a bit with all the whiffs

[d_money]

I’m getting ahead of myself but KT’s gonna be approaching an innings limit eventually this season. He’s at ~ 66.

 

Whats his limit?

Whats his limit?

He’s been around 60 the last two years as well, so maybe 115+ 20IP or so if he’s not wearing down?

Yeah, they let Alzolay do 125 last year, and that seems like the likely blueprint. Alzolay had a more extensive injury history, but had thrown up 120 IP in a season before.

[Derwood]

Castillo goes 120+ pitches and somehow gives up no runs.

 

Gomes had a great/terrible at-bat

[We Got The Whole 9]

Dude just refused to take the walk. 9 pitches thrown and just 2 in the zone on the way to the K.

[CubinNY]

Reds manager is going to kill this guy trying to win a meaningless game. If I’m the GM I’m screaming. He’s going to net a bumper crop of prospects.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Albert tried to pull a Game 7 on a double to the wall, bless him

[Bertz]

Wick has been awful for going on a month, really gotta get him right

[Derwood]

I hate this team

[We Got The Whole 9]

Wick continues to implode

[CubinNY]

Wick suddenly suck really bad. What gives?

[mias_tisg]

What happened to Rowan Wick?

[Andy]

He sure looks pretty darned good.

So you did this

[UMFan83]

Why the heck did Keegan come out for the 7th after struggling through the 6th?

[CubinNY]

[mias_tisg]

Cubs getting some major BABIP luck in the 7th

[Bertz]

Why the heck did Keegan come out for the 7th after struggling through the 6th?

 

In a competitive season you call it a night, in a season like this you extend him a bit to get him used to working deeper into games?

[Bertz]

Lol classic Almora pointless dive

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Without looking it up because of laziness, there has to be a great chance the Cubs have a better combined winning percentage against the Cardinals and Brewers than the Pirates and Reds this season.
