Did Minter learn to pitch from Craig Kimbrel? Are we sure he isn't a lefthanded Kimbrel? -
Glad to see Happ is coming out of his funk and doing more damage from the right side.
-
Happer!
-
Nice work Merryweather. Good things can happen when you pitch 100 mph and throw strikes
-
Still no 1-2-3 innings for the Braves today with that D'Arnaud hit. They are relentless.
-
I swear, any other team I'd be calmly watching the Cubs with a 3 run lead in the 7th
-
OK Leiter is done and Merryweather is in. Wonder if they'll try to get 2 from Merryweather and if he can't get through, another 4+ out save attempt for Alzolay.
-
Cubs have 3 other pitchers besides Kay and whats left of Leiter (if he's still in) to get the last 9 outs so we can avoid it but the margin for error is low
-
It's a bullpen game so those 3 are almost certainly going to have to pitch. Assuming Fulmer couldn't go any further, I'm ok with Palencia coming in but he had absolutely no command today and shouldn't have been allowed to walk the bases loaded for the top of the Braves lineup. I get that Ross wanted to avoid using Leiter for more than an inning at all costs but it was plainly clear Palencia couldnt find the strike zone. Even 2 of the strikes he did get were balls that the ump called incorrectly.
-
Any chance a massive rainstorm can come right now and wash out the last 3 innings? That's would be immensely helpful
-
That was still so bad. 2 runs allowed and now we're really going to have to stretch out Leiter and Merryweather or put someone like Cuas or Kay in there to survive the game.
-
Thank God
-
Can anyone throw a horsefeathers strike? We've even gotten 3 balls called strikes this inning.
-
The go ahead run is at the plate now...
-
Even if we get out of this with the lead, the pen is in poor shape for the rest of the game now
-
7-4......
-
I'll take an out for a run I guess. It's just that the next hitter is kind of Ronald Acuna Jr...
-
Now Leiter can't find the zone
-
Unbelievable. I get that the pen is gassed and you are trying to keep them somewhat fresh for tomorrow but win todays game first. Let’s get a DP ball from Leiter
-
horsefeathers Ross wtf are you doing
-
Get him out of here if he’s gonna walk everyone. Come on
-
Another stupid call by a stupid ump
-
We’ve seen a lot of terrible zones this year, this is up there imo. that low strike on the first pitch seemed to cause Candelario to swing at another low pitch and meekly ground out
-
Please score 6 more Seems like the plan is Palencia, Merryweather, Leiter, Alzolay to finish. If anyone struggles one of the others will have to go more than 1.
-
Nice poke for an RBI Morel. He had a really poor first 2 ABs so good to see
