He made it thru six and two third. Helluvan effort from Jake. 1 run, 3 hits, 9 K's. Now need just two innings from the pen, and arrested Davis gets at least one of them. The 8th tho.....
Well....... Joe goes to Davis now, needing both the 8th, and the 9th. And Davis gives up a Homer to the first batter he faces. I hope Davis throws the 8th and use the rest of the pen for the 9th. Crazy, but will be bottom of the order in 9th. (Hopefully)
Jake is 3-0 in elimination games. He would be good for 2-3-4 innings in a game 7 if we can get there.
Almora CF Schwarber LF Bryant 3B Rizzo 1B Contreras C Russell SS Baez 2B Zobrist RF Quintana P Zobrist can't hit for **** from the right side, and Kershaw kills right handers. And we take a huge hit on defense over Heyward. I don't understand this move, but hopefully he comes up big one more time for us.
We need 7 solid innings from Q today. I know it’s a lot to ask but we can’t leave it to the pen. Strop has to bring it.
Welp...... Q lasts TWO innings. 3-0, bases loaded, no outs. We are in bad, bad shape right off the bat. Lackey is gonna have to pitch in this game.
That’s our season there fellas. 9-0. There bats are on fire and our pitching is terrible. We might as well start talking about the off-season!
Well, Kris Bryant finally gets one out, 9-1 Cubs all time Home Runs in the postseason Bryant 6 Rizzo 6 Schwarber 6 Baez 5 Fowler 5
