Cade looked really good early on, but that should probably be it for him for the day with the top of the order coming up and the hard contact he’s given up the last two innings
It looks like PCA adjusted his body a bit right before the catch to set himself up for the throw. Maybe that’s what you’re interpreting as duping the runner? Otherwise I don’t see anything out of the ordinary.
Doesn’t look like they’re sending him back out there. It would’ve bene the first for the Cubs since Hendricks tossed one against the Cardinals on 5/3/2019.
Keller has been their 8th inning guy basically all year. He hasn’t pitched since Wednesday. He likely would’ve been pitching in this scenario regardless of who pitched the 7 prior innings.
