Do you see the problem here? Here’s the thing. Wades arm is about to fall off. And they haven’t hit worth horsefeathers for the entire playoffs. Roll the dice with lackey who’s been ok lately. This isn't horsefeathering June. It's October. Wade didn't pitch on Friday, he didn't pitch Saturday and he's not going to pitch on Monday. Nobody is saying to run him out there for 50 pitches again. But it's the top of the order with the game on the line. You don't go down with your 8th best pitcher. You leave Duensing in and hope to steal one against 7-8-9? Sure. But when the inning got dirty, you bring in your best pitcher. He should have been brought in for Taylor.
-
That's irrelevant.
-
Joe Maddon: actually not that great of a manager.
-
Good job Lackey you ugly horsefeathers.
-
I have virtually no faith in Lackey to get Turner out.
-
Plus even if Lackey gets out of this, unless we take the lead, he'll be facing the heart of the order next inning.
-
Double switch with Happ going to center in Almora's spot?
-
Joe's waiting for a save situation.
-
It's going to be Taylor that beats us, right?
-
Well this definitely gets Jansen out of the game. Won't matter unless we get out of this though.
-
When you swing at every pitch a foot above the zone he sure is. just guessing here that those pitches are extremely deceptive, especially against righties, and not that contreras suddenly became the least selective hitter there (i couldn't include almora there, heh) I'm sure they are. The main one that ticked me off was the first one to Willy. Jansen almost hit KB then hit Rizzo in the span of 3 pitches. I know Jansen throws a ton of strikes but try taking the first one.
-
They might let him hit especially if it's 2 out none on or a bunt situation.

-
Yeah, just keep swinging at pitches at your eyes, guys.
-
That was a garbage AB, Willy. Just pure garbage.
-
Patience Willy. He almost hit KB and hit Rizzo in the span of 3 pitches.
-
A baserunner! Painful but I'll take it.
-
Would have been nice if that clipped him.
-
Please score a run, Cubs.
-
THANK YOU, BARNES
-
That's a strike.
-
Please hit a ground ball right at someone, Barnes.
-
Oh good, Rondon warming. Just the guy we all want to see.
-
Javy just got under that one.
