Well.. one thing I'll say is Renteria definitely would've let Keuchel in to face Ohtani with his obsession with the lefty-lefty. La Russa is the complete opposite. Let's see if it pays off.
On the positive side, Moncada looked fantastic... with the bat and glove. Looking like his '19 version. He is going to be a very important player this season.
I mean that's all fine and dandy Tony, but you would've lost the challenge anyways going into the 8th. This wasn't in the 4th inning here. It was literally no risk. That is on him.
LaVine has just not been the same since injuring that ankle. If I'm the Bulls, I'd let him sit a game or two. Make Vucevic the focal point of the offense.
Thaddeus Young should be starting over Markkanen. He is a much better fit with Vucevic and would basically be the PG in the lineup since he is the best passer on the team.
