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.
I'm not watching so I'm confused about people here saying something about discomfort and on twitter they are saying he's sick? I would hope that if they let him finish the inning, taking him out is precautionary but probably not because its a pitcher and we're not allowed to have nice things.
Ok after the winning run was scored on an IF hit, error and sac fly yesterday, today it was scored on a pop fly miscommunication between the 2B and RF for a double and a bloop down the LF line.
The baseball gods are finally taking pity on us
Bases loaded 0 outs, Cubs looking to add onto a 2-1 lead, pitcher is all over the place with his pitches and just walked Seiya. Mancini swings at the first pitch and hits into a 1-2-3 double play. Ugh
