7-8 Keegan shutting out Dodgers

[UMFan83]

Hoerner solo HR. Keegan got into trouble 1 inning but got out of it unscathed and has 5 shutout innings so far. Cubs up 1-0

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Imagine if someone told us before the season that Steele and Thompson would both in the rotation pitching like 3 win starters. I would've said some very dumb things about this team's chances

[UMFan83]

Anderson shoves Happ to the ground on a play at the plate. Will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

what in the world seiya

[UMFan83]

Ugh Seyia drops a fly ball and costs the Cubs a run

[We Got The Whole 9]

That is a horsefeathering shitty way for Keegan's night to end

[UMFan83]

Hurry up and trade Robertson before he blows his trade value

 

He has absolutely no idea where his pitches are going.

 

Either finish this game off or let the Dodgers walk off. Not dealing with extra innings

[UMFan83]

Yeah I’m not watching no extra innings. Peace out Cubs

[itisallpartoftheplan]

The second Seiya dropped that fly ball this game was headed to a predictable direction.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Looks like something was off with the stride, foot was landing too early causing his arm to lag

[muntjack]

Not a fan of Yan Gomes

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that did not look like a swing

[We Got The Whole 9]

Their effort in extra inning games is just embarrassing

[Bertz]

Keegan Thompson since adding his slider

 

5 GS, 28 IP, 23 H, 7 BB, 35 K, 1 HR, 28.6% GB rate, 2.25 ERA, 3.22 xFIP

 

Not exactly a cupcake schedule either, as the Dodgers, Braves, and BoSox are 2nd, 3rd, and 6th in MLB in runs score right now.

 

That groundball rate is atrocious and needs to come up, but while right now he's doing everything else at an elite level it kind of doesn't matter.

 

The numbers have been there for Steele for a while (you can honestly go back to his last start in April), but for me personally he wasn't passing the eye test, but even that's started coming around the last month or so. Really exciting stuff.

We’ll always have the ‘16 NLCS
