Agreed

 

This feels real early to me too.

Also, if that same last pitch to Montero had been thrown to Schwarber it's on top of the scoreboard. Or a roof haha.

 

We are hopefully going to have to pitch him again. Miller has had plenty of rest. I can see value in taking him out now while Cubs hitters haven't had a chance to ding him. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but lineups do their damage on him the third time through and we were reaching that point.

 

Tomlin was fortunate. He pitched ok, but don't get it twisted. He struck out one, walked one. Cubs were hitting him hard, right to defense. It's not something you want to risk sustaining for any longer. .143 BABIP for the Cubs is laughably fortunate.

 

That is mostly true, but he is a contact pitcher that relies on a high ground ball rate. That was mostly true tonight. A couple fly balls to the outfield, but that was him since he has had success at this level.

 

So is Hendricks. But he had 6 Ks. Sometimes that contact finds gaps sometimes it doesn't. But the Cubs contact was harder and right to defenders. The Cubs have hit five balls at 99+ mph exit velo (four against Tomlin). Only one turned into a hit. It was a fortunate outing at an unsustainable BABIP. Smart move to go to the pen. When you're way up at the Casino you gotta know when to cash out haha.

 

I see what you're saying and agree, but I do think the wording is taking away some from Tomlin because that is mostly how he has pitched two seasons ago and this year. Last year he was hurt.

At this point it feels like the Cubs and Tribe are playing that knife game with the hand on the table and just stabbing away. Curious to see who cracks blood first haha.

 

Andrew F. Miller

 

This game.

 

I would imagine Terry goes one more with Andrew.

 

Miller slated to bat cleanup. Could be interesting.

 

I forgot about the whole batting thing. Touché

 

The Indians are going to win this game

 

I would do some nefarious acts to get a run and win this game. We've had too many chances tonight.

 

If Martinez gets picked... Love Contreras though. That dude is ride or die. Definitely bout that work.

 

Damn I almost think the shoe blocked him but it's tough to overturn that. Ahhhhh.

 

Calling a drag bunt.

 

Davis bruh

 

lol coco crisp

 

BABIP just killing us. Can't stand games like this.

 

This game is over

 

Indians bullpen is unhittable

 

Far from it

 

Indians bullpen is unhittable

 

I'm feeling okay. Glad Miller is out.
