I was terrified of that fly ball to Seiya there. You shouldn’t have to be terrified of a routine fly ball to RF ever. If the last out of the 2016 World Series was a routine fly ball of RF I would have been celebrating before it hit Heyward’s glove.

Nice job by Miller.  How long until he goes on the IL?

[mfcubs22]

Probably,  but Miller should at least start the inning

Morel late on 94 right down the middle?

Maybe, but Miller did pitch 1 1/3 last night too.

Not on back to back nights 

[mfcubs22]

Bigge available?

I like Busch and he has been good, but man does he swing through a lot of seemingly hittable pitches.

I'd honestly think about Wesneski here, the ballpark gives him margin for error on his only problem at the moment, plus it's a 2 run lead.

I was thinking him too. Bunch of righties due up as well, but not sure who they have on the bench.

Cubs closer Colten Brewer.  JD calls it “fun”. That’s one way to describe it. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Here we go.  The ole "plug a journeyman into the closer role and hope it works."

[Tryptamine]

Implosion incoming

Strangest enough Wesneski has done significantly better against lefties this year than righties. Like 200 points of OPS.  Maybe the sample size isn’t big enough (60 and 90 PAs)

Dammit PCA that’s the one thing you’re supposed to do. I know that would have been one of the best catches of the year but damn

I am lucky that I get to have my entire day ruined most days. In this case, the afternoon.

I couldn't tell if he got a great break on the ball off the bat.  If not, he made up a lot of ground but just couldn't quite get there

He was playing so unnecessarily deep.
