Every fly ball has been terrifying after arraez hit one off the end of the bat to the wall

Right now the Padres have and xBA of .275 and the Cubs an xBA of .273. The Cubs have the 4th best OAA in baseball. THe Padres have a -7, good for 18th. 

Sometimes you make your own variance.

No one's gonna touch any foul balls this time

[Rex Buckingham]

Let's go to Keller, and have Kittredge warm for the 9th. Have Soroka (I guess?)  warming to start the 8th

Or just score a few runs

I’d personally start the 8th with Soroka with Keller waiting in the wings but what do I know?
