But either way he’s almost certainly not going to be allowed to face the top of the order again. The Cubs have Soroka who can give them multiple innings today, Pomeranz as another lefty option. The pen should mostly be in good shape. No need to take chances with a 2-0 lead 5th - Thielbar 6th - Soroka 7th - Pomeranz (if lefties line up) 8th - Palencia 9th - Keller Civale, Rogers, possibly Rea would also be available. Kittredge is the only guy you want to hold back unless you absolutely have to. -
I have a feeling that was Taillons last pitch with 3 lefties coming up. Cubs should be ok on pen arms and even have a LTOGY (lefty three out guy) in Pomeranz for later in the game. Id be fine if Taillon started the inning too
-
When he's on his really good. Consistency and the HR ball on occasion have been his issues. But if you look at his game log, he really only has 4 poor starts this year out of 23, and 2 of them came immediately before he missed a month with an injury so its possible that played into the poor starts. Also a 3rd was his first start of the season.
-
Ugh I just got a notification on my phone to buy Brewers-Cubs tickets in 2 days. Don't do that during the deciding game of the previous round lol
-
Picture is not conclusive, I believe he just needs to start his windup before it hits 0
-
What was the IF alignment for Shaw's AB? that might have gotten through with 0 outs if the IF was playing in.
-
If the Cubs end up losing that liner down the RF line is going to haunt me. I thought that was going to be fair off the bat and clear the bases.
-
That was hit so slow I thought Busch could beat it out but it wasn't even really close
-
DAMMIT
-
Yeah Shaw is just not a reliable option right now.
-
Huge walk! Would be funny if this was like that Cardinals Braves game 5 where the Cardinals scored so many runs all the drama was gone
-
Even though the Cubs get 1, if the Padres get out of this down 1-0 it will be a huge momentum boost for them.
-
Estrada is in the 98th percentile of pitchers for K rate. Swanson is big here because I have no idea what Shaw is going to do at this point.
-
Here comes the pen

Attaboy Pete!
-
If it was still 2nd and 3rd and it wasn't Tucker on 3rd I'd almost consider a squeeze lol
-
Well at least he's coming up with 0 outs. He needs a red light until he gets a strike.
-
Kelly is the key at bat since we have no idea what PCA will give us
-
Well Tucker seems to be running ok enough. I was worried he was going to be station to station.
-
I wonder if there's an advantage for the hitter when you see 3 pitches, the inning ends, you are the DH so not focused on the field, and then you come up again. It's almost like facing him a second time.
-
Would be nice if the Cubs could give him a couple of runs and maybe give him a little more slack to face the order a second time.
-
Couldn't have hit that to a more perfect spot
-
I mean he could get pulled at any point. If the Cubs get the first 2 on next inning they might decide to pull him.
-
Wondering what the catch probability was on that one.
-
So did the home runs. Guys I'm a little concerned that we don't have the power and the speed to be the best in the National League
