The weird part is this would also limit him as a potential starter next year. They must be set on him staying in the pen, otherwise he should be on the upper end of reliever innings so that he doesn’t end up with an inning limit next year.
I just got home so didn’t see the circumstances, but the fact that Guerra was left in to give up 7 on a day we have a completely rested pen and an off day tomorrow is completely absurd to me.
The misery of the Cubs is music to my ears... I'm sure there's probably a standard fine that goes along with an ejection. The fact that he got tossed from a 7 run game arguing a strike call from 3 innings ago is hilarious.
It's 6 runs. If he struggles JJ finishes it. I'm not worried when JJ is available yet. Knebel in the 9th sucked cuz most of the time Jeffress was used already in those games.
He had a couple blow up starts that he had to sort of wear it because we needed innings. Otherwise his ERA would be quite a bit better. He's been solid, that's for sure.
