Patrick should be a starter...

I can't decide. We could use starting pitching right now, but his stuff clearly plays better out of the pen. His velocity is way up.

[RobertCrawley]

Very impressed with Patrick Star. The moment is not too big for him.

[adambr2]

Strike 4, stupid ump. Try not calling that one.

[wOOgiE22]

How about a 5-4 win. Top of the lineup coming. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Meat grinder of a game now for the Cubs to close it out - have had plenty of chances to make this one easy and they've skunked it.

 

[bm1090]

Chourio has thrived in these moments in his brief playoff career.

[owbc]

The pressure is on them to hold this. 

[adambr2]

Meat of the order in the 8th. This is going to be our best chance.

Yep. Really hope they win but either way it's big that we made this a fight and they had to use all their high leverage guys in high pressure innings.

Leadoff man ON! Gotta score him!

[BCF]

JACKSON!

I don't hate the Bauers/Vaughn PH/Mona part of the lineup either

[RobertCrawley]

Maybe an opener then.  Just get us started and going.  Dude throws strikes and seems to be hard to hit.

CHOURIOOOOOOOO!!!!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Jackson has to get over or this one's toast. Simply can't strand him here. 

[jason21nl]

I would now pinch run for him with Perkins.  But of course Perkins is in the game

Great chance here.

Why is kittredge still in this game?  CC is masterful at bullpens?

 

Oh I see - tried to get cute and have him get 1 more out before bringing in a lefty...despite hik giving up a bomb last inning

So when it’s in extras the best player on the team is out of the game?

Was just going to say. I don't think they have any viable options to pinch run now.

CHOURIOOOOOOOO!!!!

I don't hate that idea at all.

[dlk9s]

Chhourio is going to obliterate his hammy trying to score.

Have to score this run before you get to extras and he barley got to 2nd

Knock one out and he can walk. Turang is overdue. I'll take a double. He's done nothing.
