taking shota out for garbage ass maton was so egregiously stupid counsell basically apologized for it after the game.
as embarrassing as it is, rolison might be the cubs best reliever right now. he threw one pitch in the 6th and the cubs had 9 outs left to get with Roberts/thielbar/webb (all of whom have sucked lately) and Thornton/Milner, neither of whom have been great lately and whose success has been based on some smoke and mirrors. handedness be damned, I’m trying to squeeze more than one pitch out of maybe the best reliever they have when the rest of the pen is varying degrees of garbage/shakiness.
