LMAO the Bears are so bad at this. No one believes you are thinking about building in Naperville and everyone knows you are crying for public money for a stadium/district that is going to drastically increase your profits/franchise value.
7th: Runner on 2nd, 0 outs
8th: 1st and 3rd, 1 out
9th: Bases loaded, 1 out
1 run scored. The 7 outs after those situations were 3 strikeouts, 1 TOOTBLAN, 1 sacrifice bunt, 2 flyouts (1 coming with the bases empty and 2 outs after the TOOTBLAN)
Now that we played for 1 run lets see that Cubs lockdown pen hold the Rays offense from scoring the next 2 innings. If they do manage to give up the lead we got the Mastro and Barnhart leading off the next inning for more offense. Fool proof plan
How many times has Ross brought in a new reliever only to have them give up a game changing bomb within the first couple of batters?
I'm not saying bringing Leiter Jr in was a good or bad thing, just that it seems to happen a decent amount of times.
He's also a local dude that went to my high school (Fremd) and in addition to baseball he was their QB/DB and once intercepted Jimmy G while he was at Rolling Meadows. Interesting dude.
