I think the chance that Hader comes out for the 9th is less than 0%. It had to be killing Counsell to pitch him again here after going two on Monday. Go Grandy! Huge insurance run. Really nice pickup there.
Despise his praying mantis style. Cubs just pitching same guys day after day after day!! That pen is getting gassed. Pitching the same 4-5 guys every game.
Perez did just fine there. Braun to 3b pinch runner. Arcia to bat for Thames That would have made a lot of sense. I wonder if they are leery of Braun playing 1B? Hasn't been out there for awhile.
It was on the inside part of the plate, not sure what you are looking at. It was a slider that broke to the middle. Still, ball was not even close to Thames.
