I get mad at Matt Duffy too, but only when he's holding a bat. When he has a glove on, he's a perfect angel.

I can agree to that.

Was this to intentionally force the other manager to use a pinch hitter for the platoon advantage? Or did they really have no confidence in someone successfully IBBing?

The former.

Also great bunt there by Panik.


Okay but let's be realistic, Peavy probably can't pitch a CGSO and had trouble even last year (when he was actually decently good) the third time through the lineup. It's was a one run lead and Bochy is right to try to scrape together as many runs as he can.

Arrieta is gonna throw 9 scoreless and end up getting a no decision, isn't he? :sigh:

Also gently caress this ump, you squeeze the ever loving poo poo out of Arrieta's low stuff, and then call strike two on a way outside ball to Miggy? Ugh.

I know that feeling, I was thinking that about Peavy (of all people) tonight. All I can say is it'll get better!

Yes, but this is the Cubs we're talking about here, so Turner's power ain't poo poo in this scenario.
