Yes, gives him time to throw the hands up if needed. The problem with that play was just the fact PCA was expecting the throw to go home and the cut off guy made a smart choice by going to 3B hoping for something like that to happen.
PCA wasn't looking at anybody, he was flying and had 3B on his mind from the get go... im sure he was expecting a throw home and was surprise they ball was there .
Giving up 3 homers in 3 inning suck but they were all solo shots and gives the bats a chance to climb back the second time through order..
Need big hits now from both Swanson and Busch
Be funny after all the belly aches about how the Cubs loss 4 games in the standings last week, theyre right back to being 5-6 up by end of the weekend.
