Maybe Cuas should try throwing overhand, might have more control -
Cuas trying to keep us from caring about the 9th inning.
-
Shane Greene was mentioned earlier in this thread
-
Morel now 4 for his last 55
-
Damn...3 outs to go
-
Damn, I wonder if Seiya could have scored if it didnt deflect off the wall
-
And then the Cubs signed him that offseason 😂
-
Stupid Tigers defense
-
imagine this if you can: winning by 2 with Swanson, Suzuki, Candelario due up and whatever other stuff you said.
-
Palencia is such an adventure. You have no idea what you are going to get when he steps onto the mound.
-
I love that your defense of "try to win the game" is to point out that the Cubs are losing with 6 outs to go.
-
Hey offense, job's not done yet.
-
I'm not exactly jacked up about suggesting Wesneski either. But I'd much rather have him start than Smyly for a variety of reasons. But seriously, ignoring how bad the options are, who are you starting the next turn in the rotation?
-
So who should make the next start in your mind? Smyly again?
-
I agree there are issues with calling up Wicks out of the blue. No one was projecting him to start this season, hes not on the 40 man, he's only been at AAA for a spell. It's just an option. I would have gone with Wesneski personally.
-
You are comparing 10 ERA bad vs. Wesneski bad. Smyly couldnt get through 4 innings in like 6 of his last 9 starts and generally looked awful. It was a poor choice, but even if you want to say ''hes a veteran and he'll figure it out", Ross gave him an extreme amount of rope tonight. And you can't retroactively declare Wicks not prepared to start when they've known they needed a starter tonight for almost a week.
-
Smyly thought the best move was to walk off the mound after the 2nd out hoping everyone else in the park forgot that it was only the 2nd out
-
The Tigers have scored the 2nd least runs in baseball. Imagine this start if they were playing a good offensive team
-
Yes there’s lots of reasons to poke holes at other options. But kind of loses steam when you are arguing for starting a pitcher with an ERA near 10 the last 2.5 months.
-
And it’s tied
-
Definitely want to walk the first guy after your offense scores 4 runs to take the lead
-
Or let’s win
-
Let’s get no hit tonight. Seemed to help the last Cubs team to get no hit in the long run.
-
And yet he's also going to get a lot of praise (and rightfully so) for his offseason moves or really moves over the last 2 seasons to put the Cubs in this position.
-
And the 3 starts before that he gave up 13 ER in 16 IP lol
