Any chance Kyle gets another inning? Joe is usually quicker with him than some others. He's over 90.

No. No way - he's thrown 94.

EDIT: Check that......

ESPN didn't show a replay of Wong's AB. Was it a ball that should have been fielded?

No. LD directly over IF. About 2 feet over the glove.

 

[TL1961]

Call me crazy, but I won't feel comfortable as long as we have one run.

 

[TL1961]

No. LD directly over IF. About 2 feet over the glove.

Thanks - I looked up in time to see Javy, and didn't know whether it went under/by him.

This fucking Bote is simply not major league quality.

No

Strangely he is a 110 wRC+ vs R and a 65 vs L His main weakness is SO's. 25% vs R and 32% vs L. I can see why Joe just went with him vs the RHP. The splits favor them.

C'mon cubs. No more late inning collapses on the road. Get some more runs.

 

[CSF77]

Should be a short leash.

 

[TL1961]

Fabulous by Hendricks!

Now let's get some runs!!

Ya his fastball is down to 86. He had to work a 78 change up heavy in those sequences.

This is their defensive replacement.

Ball hit a mile high and hung up forever, and he didn't get to it.

 

[TL1961]

Thank you!

Blame Wieters, but that ball has GOT to be stopped by Wong. That was not a hard play.

 

[SilenceS]

El Mago! Only Baez gets that to happen! 2-0

 

[Parade_Rain]

Happ got his 2nd QAB in a row.

 

[TL1961]

Now, Schwarbo!

Yet no hustle out of box. That’s on coaching. Cubs are lazy

Yep. The hop was long. Wong should have gloves that one.

He just scored from 2nd because of his hustling skills and ability to put pressure on a defense. Tremendous first post

Yep. The coaches at this level are responsible for a guy not running out of the box. Maybe they should sit Javy to teach him a lesson?

We have 7 infielders. Surely we can plug someone in at SS.
