No one asked Ross about Alzolay’s status which kind of surprises me. It might not be a big deal but he’s clearly altering his bullpen usage to avoid using him, you’d think that’s something reporters might ask about. 4 straight days off now and 5 of last 6
Rockies lead the DBacks 3-2. If the Rockies win, the Cubs playoff cushion will be 3.5 games. If the DBacks win, it stays at 3
padres up 3-0 over philly
Tomorrow should be interesting. Merryweather looks like he’s throwing enough pitches to be down tomorrow, Leiter looks very shaky and Alzolay might be dead
either way, Cubs win!
My guess is Alzolay is dealing with a dead arm and Ross is trying to give him as many days off as he can. I think if something was really wrong he’d be on the IL already
Good point actually. If Merryweather comes in to close the game that will be interesting. If it’s a 4 run game Ross might be able to explain it away but if it’s a save situation he’s gonna get questions
