Palencia coming in to finish the game. I'm sure Adbert will be on standby -
Seiya is a horsefeathers beast right now. Bravo to Ross for the mental break.
-
But hes a ground ball pitcher, get the ground ball dammit lol
-
I swear to God if I asked TT to prove that 2+2 = 47, he'd somehow find a way to convince me.
-
So this is the 3rd recent game I can remember Leiter coming into the game mid-inning to stop a rally and immediately giving up an RBI hit to the first batter. One was that Toronto game that we needed the late Morel hit to win. He came in with 2 outs and a runner on first and immediately gave up a double to tie it. The other I think was that game against the Royals where they chipped away and turned a 6-1 lead into a 6-4 game. Possibly just SSS, but maybe he's not the best guy to come into a jam to get a key out. Now I'll wait for everyone to bring up examples of other times he's come in to get a key out that I forgot about because my brain will only allow me to think about negative outcomes.
-
Here I am yet again sitting at my TV stressing about getting the final 6 outs of a game.
-
Not sure if it would mattered but I adamantly thought Wesneski should have been pulled before facing Hayes. He clearly didn't have it that inning. I understand the Cubs situation and the need to steal outs but lately it seems like the Cubs are incapable of stealing those extra outs.
-
The Cubs have won just 1 game by more than 2 runs since August 2nd, and that was 15 games ago.
-
Every time Leiter comes in a situation like that he gives up runs to the first batter. What the horsefeathers. Get Merryweather and Alzolay up. 8-6 now with the tying run up
-
Ross finally pulls Wesneski with the tying run on deck
-
Oh look another run. Jesus get him out of there Ross
-
Ok pull him before we have to start bringing in our high leverage relievers yet again
-
Wesneski struggling against LHB again. come on, keep this game safe enough for Keegan to pitch
-
First 3 Pirates of the game reach and then 18 straight retired.
-
This game is fun
-
Cubs score 3 on a walk, a perfectly placed ground ball (good piece of hitting though), 3 more walks, and a misplayed double play grounder take what we can get
-
lmao now Happ walks in a run on a ball that was called a strike last inning. I guess credit the ump for fixing his mistakes
-
Dansby so close to striking out on a terrible pitch. I’ll take it
-
I’m fairly close to looking up how many 5+ ERA pitchers we’ve faced lately and how we’ve fared against them lol
-
Cubs finally get a baserunner and it’s going to be overturned lol
-
It doesn’t help that they’ve had 1 non-intentional walk this entire series (Dansby in the 10th inning on Thursday)
-
9 hits in the last 19 innings for the Cubs offense. Outside of the Manfred man inning they’ve only had multiple runners on once during that span, which happened with 2 outs and the inning ended on the next pitch
-
Pulisic again
-
Fulmer going to the IL is the corresponding move. Yikes
-
He’s also still in the game which I wasn’t expecting. Seems like they are giving him all the opportunity in the world to prove that he should be QB2
