[Official] Cubs @ Astros

So why doesn't Okert pitch the 8th so Sousa pitches the 9th?

If Sousa comes in the 8th, you're pretty much guaranteeing having to use Hader in what is likely a non save situation.

Okert threw a whopping 6 pitches last inning.

What the hell do i know.

 

what about Dicky Lovelady?

 

John Philip orchestrating another great outing.

 

Work with me here people.

Can't Sousa just finish the game?

What am I missing?

 

Sousa > King

 

Sousa is as filthy as Redd Foxx.

 

Baltimore DFA'd him for a reason he throws hard, but with ZERO movement on his FB...so guys barrel it up and it goes a long way and hard.

DD

PS. Fixed the score for you too...hehe

 

Phillies taking their frustration out on Atlanta. Currently leading them 11-0. Lulz.

 

How serious did Penas injury look? I missed it.

 

It hit him square in the side of the ribs on a high 80s changeup. He finished the ab.

 

Rest Saturday and back out there Sunday hopefully.

 

Oh well.

All that bullshit didn't work.

Nice going Joe pulling Okert after just 6 pitches.

Now you burnt Sousa.

Be better.

 

Well that sucks. I would have let Sousa try and get that last out instead of wasting Hader.

 

Oh come on, don’t burn Hader

 

I don't understand that one

 

This looks like a panic move

 

Sousa is probably the last guy, coming off injury, that you want to over-extend.

Not sure this version of the bullpen has a true multi-inning guy… obviously masked by this team having great starters, a great back end of bullpen, and playing a lot of close games.

Javier probably fills that role to ease him back in, if no other injuries.
