Why aren’t you walking that guy regardless?

I thought about that...maybe just didnt want to put Fulmer in a position where he had to throw strikes?

Maybe?  I don't think he got hit that hard.... the double was off the end of his bat.  The walkoff single is an out if its better positioned.  The first out was loud and the single was well hit though.  

His stuff just looks really hittable. I thought the same thing when he blew the save earlier in the week. Sure he struck out Hayward, but that's not saying much.

His .421 OPS thus far?

[UMFan83]

Probably could have used some runs when Happ and Seiya came up with the bases loaded and one out and both struck out on really bad pitches

I guess I'm just not sure who else you put out there.  Hughes after he gets a few innings in him maybe.  Cubs pen tends to lock in as the season goes on, I don't think there's a need to replace him just yet unless he was getting shelled and/or walking a bunch of people

That's such a crummy blown slave.  None of those balls were hit that hard

The Vargas double was hit pretty hard

Looked harder than that. Either way, boo Cubs

Who’s (supposed to be) our closer anyway? Better not be Fulmer.

[UMFan83]

The Cubs have had exactly 1 1-0 win in each of the last 4 seasons.  So the bad news is tonight's game wasn't it.  But the good news is, we're still due for a 1-0 win at some point
