8 run lead and he's still out there walking multiple batters an inning.

[jason21nl]

Need to stop walking guys.

He didn’t grab for it, but looked frustrated. 

He looked scared to me … young & afraid … likely remembering his recent injury that felt similar. 

[Bulldogboy]

Why on earth are we walking people with an 8 run lead?

[BCF]

You would think if it was more serious he would have some sort of limp walking 

 

Maybe he was frustrated he was coming out 

[Fear The Chorizo]

jesus - make them hit the ball to get on.  this is the crap that gives teams hope if you have free passes on when somebody runs into a mistake pitch

Maybe pitching around Tucker 🤔

Two walks in the inning is a bit frustrating, but he strikes out Suzuki. Let's add on even more!

This is my biggest fear with this team.  Walking hitters when we have the lead.

[RobertCrawley]

Yes, sir. Sweet hook, Freddy.

[jason21nl]

I shouldn’t be this nervous with this big of a lead but I am

[Jmac]

Just a thought, would it have been feasible to just not bring Freddy out for tge 2nd inning and bring in Mis, Patrick, or Gasser to pitch the rest of game and we could have saved Freddy for game 3? Or is that not a strategy worth trying

[82brewcrew82]

Any Cubs fans want to whine about borderline ball/strike calls?

at least today's its being done while up 8 runs....but I get it.

Wonder if after 5 or 6 IP if the game is still out of hand is when we see the Miz?  Or will it make sense to give some other relievers an inning of work to knock off the rust?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Got another scoreless inning from Peralta.

With the big lead it could be a chance to get an extended start out of him, if he is a bit more efficient and limits the walks.

Eh, don't get cute and start messing with guys.  Let him do his thing.

I don’t think Murphy is going to try and overthink this thing. Go with your horses to get this win even if you are up by eight runs.  I think Counsell over thought things a little bit by going with a starter on three days rest and look where that got him.

I think that's getting too cute in a short series - you give Freddy this game knowing you'll have him on regular rest for a game 4 start (if necessary).  No need to start reshuffling anyone on the staff 2 innings into game 1 of a best of 5 series if you don't need to.

let him go 5 and get the playoff W on his record - pitch count is very manageable right now

[jason21nl]

Well that interview didn’t sound encouraging for Jackson

Not worth trying IMO. You take a playoff win when you can get it. Let Freddy go 6, hopefully 7, save the pen. 

Though, it's not a crazy idea, but you're not going to have him for game 5 if you do this. It's 2 games either way... 

And no shot am I bringing in Mis up 8-1. If we bring in Mis, I expect it'd be a game we're down a couple runs and just tell him to go out there and try and throw it by guys. Fastball, slider, 2 pitches.
