Cubs have to be averaging 2 visits to the mound an inning this series. Time for manfred to eliminate it. Pro pitchers should not need to be talked to

I'm not sure what the rule is but our catcher has really helped the pitcher with whatever he says in the discussions.

No, but I wasn't surprised either. I was clearly wrong about Tomlin though. He pitched a gem.

It would make sense. He's a terrible matchup for a team like the Cubs, and Wrigley and it's wind patterns.

Don't really have a choice.

They could be in a nice position but Lindor has killed 2 rallies all by himself. So they basically have to do this.

Lindor has helped a lot this series though, he was due to have a disappointing one

I understand that but it's a joke. Every team has done it this postseason and that's why we have 4 hr gms with no runs scored. shouldn't be stopping the gm to help someone out who is struggling

With all the ragging on Lindor tonight, I had to go look and see if he was the son of Lonnie Smith. :dhd:

Yes he could.

And I would've gone with Montero here, but maybe that's why Madden didn't go with Schwarber here. Becasue he knew if he did it was gonna be Miller time anyway.

I guess he'll wait for a more favorable matchup. Hopefully it's not too late by that time.

What would you propose as a rule 1 visit per inning?

I think that's what he did.

And it does make some sense.

JR is going to relinquish a HR if he keeps throwing shit up like that.

Id eliminate it all together. If u need to go to the mound you are getting pulled.

He's been their best player.

In this series, it's probably been the catcher.

Overall sure. Because of his premium position and hitting.

But he did nothing in game 2 and he's a huge negative in game 3.

And when Kipnis couldn't' hit water if he fell off a boat, that's a huge problem for your offense.

CJ Edwards always had live arm talent.

Was a big fan of his when he was in the Rangers org.

I thought he'd have filled out a bit more by now and make the move into the rotation though.

Never was a strike from the time it left his hand
