That's a pretty nice adjustment by Bautista. Not a bad pitch, but you have realize that he knows your plan is to use all offspeed. Get a fastball inside there.

Sneaking a fastball by him = fail.

At least with jackson in the pen we get to see pena in more 1 inning late game situations. Gulp

Wouldnt' that mean we'd see Pena in fewer games because Jackson would get some of his innings?

Balta i was saying it would allow oz to use pena in different situations because edwin would be long relief. Like 8th inning holds which he seems to love to do.

Right now, Pena is getting used in 8th inning close games because we have a 6 man bullpen, with 3 lefties who can't be counted on. Pretty much, if we want an 8th inning pitcher, it's Crain right now, and he simply can't go every day; we need him when we have a tight lead to bridge to Santos.

 

I'd expect Jackson to slide into the role that Pena filled yesterday if he went to the pen.

Ozzie knows exactly what Pena can do that is why he pitches him when the game is on the line.

Again, Pena shows up in close games by default. Crain is getting used heavily already, and the only other righty in the pen is the Closer.

 

The real problem is that the 2 lefties who used to be able to get out everyone (Thornton and Sale) can't get a righty out to save a life.

Easy decision to take Jackson out of the rotation.

 

He made the decision for them.

 

Yes he did.

Nice pickup by Lexi, though. DP.

 

Cubs down 6-0. Whose fans boo more? Ours or theirs?
