They love Mears in high leverage spots.

I definitely had an uneasy feeling about Priester today, clearly he did as well.

Still waiting for a pitcher to not look deer in the headlights

They love Mears in high leverage spots. So why not just put him in there.

I meant that they should have let a LHP face PCA.

Yeah I meant as they should have just put mears in at that point. Either way nightmare start and going to need the bottom of the order and Turang to wake up.

Not sure I get the quick hook. Are we trying to burn through our pen?

Ok let's score some runs

Gasser and Quintana are piggyback options who haven't been used this series (and probably won't be needed tomorrow with Peralta starting).

You were going to use your pen the same amount given how bad QP looked.

**** you, Ron Darling

TBS score box says it's 3-1 Cubs, lol.

ETA: They deleted it before I finished the post, but it was 100% there.

This is a "play with your food" kinda line up.

Taillon has been really good at just pounding the strike zone as soon as he gets into a 3 ball count.

They should honestly give Miz a shot as a starter at some point this postseason.
