  1. 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
  2. Plus the tiebreaker that they clinched tonight. Can’t see the giants playing 7 games better than us over a 20 game span
  3. Not to dwell on last weekend but the Cubs have now had the lead in the 9th inning in their last 8 games
  4. 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
  5. Girardi broke his curse. Previously the 2 series he did color for in the 2nd half were the 2 series the Cubs have lost since the break
  6. What do you do when all the teams you are competing against win? Go out and win the horsefeathers game
  7. 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!
  8. Seems like his velo is down tonight and throwing a lot of offspeed pitches
  9. 15 pitches and hasn’t gotten an out yet. Come on
  10. Don’t care if his arm isn’t attached get Adbert up!
  11. Dead arm maybe. I’m sure Ross will get asked about it post game
  12. Alzolay died so Merryweather could live. Or something like that
  13. Seiya needs a triple for the cycle. Let’s see it
  14. 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
  15. I think it’s the circle of “I have no horsefeathers choice but to trust him”
  16. Ok Cuas is coming on. Definitely something wrong with Alzolay or Merryweather
  17. 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
  18. Ross must really be protecting Merryweather. Leiter was described as gassed in his last appearance and he’s pitched more recently than Merryweather
  19. Now Ross doesn’t have to use his high leverage relievers again right??
  20. Was about to say I wish we had Tauchman up now instead of Morel. Glad I didn’t say that
