Welcome to the Big Leagues kid. Home Run and a Rocket up the middle for a hit.

Welcome indeed. Great outing.

What a debut for Wicks. 1 run, 2 hits, 1 BB, 9K, 5 innings with 80 pitches. Retires his last 15 batters in a row. Tommy Hottovy wins “mound visit of the year.”

Curious how much longer you’re going to let Wesneski struggle - worried about him

 

[ISUCubswin]

^this post was before Hayes’ hit. Don’t totally get why we’re letting it continue. Lazy.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Man. Another blunder of a game by our manager. Totally support Wesneski pitching in garbage time. But we let him get way too deep into trouble before doing anything about it.

I don't get what has happened to him just like how Keegan Thompson went from a dominant bullpen arm to batting practice pitcher this year. Both are young so they have time to figure it out but when they have command of the strike zone they both have some great stuff for movement with their pitches.

Suzuki is hot right now. Glad to see him turn it around after a tough stretch where he got benched.

Wonder how long you let Palencia go. Don’t hate going to him in a non-save situation, but he can turn a non-save situation into a save situation pretty damn quick with walks.

Well managed inning.

Got it done. Man it’s fun to watch meaningful games this time of year.

These guys really try not to suck.

My what to watch for today - we clinched “can’t lose the series” last night, do we actually try with todays lineup with a lefty going or does Morel go leadoff and Wisdom play first?

Unofficial Canario watch.
2/4 with a double.

Luke Little might get a call up from Iowa to handle 7th/8th inning duties. He has pitched well and throws absolute gas! I can’t believe he is the #25 prospect in the organization.

Should be the first, most likely is the second.

Bellinger DHing is criminal.

Bellinger DH and Wisdom at 1B What a goof.

Am I missing a reason to do that?
