Got to the bullpen early

Woah, took him out mid count.

For what it's worth, I would hate it if my manager left a pitcher in then pulled him when the pitcher was down 2-0. 

Watch Leury swing at the first one from the new pitcher

the random spurts of plate discipline from leury has forced a pitching change

I actually dont think he swung on strike 3 last ab but they never showed a replay.

Leury needs to take 3!

Sure but if you wanted to improve this season wasnt OF a bigger need?

Of course but the front office didn’t think so

I know the offense hasn't been great but they've been competent the last two games. The pitching is what is causing all the issues.

That said - Semien and Starling Marte please.

Got to keep forcing them into situations where the Baker Effect can come into play

You would be calling for TLR's execution if he did that

Lots of cub fans and the usual trolls showing their true colors here.  Some things never change.

He'd probably come here and hit 14 hrs next year,

He did look pretty bad in 2020 with Oakland. Although if he had a whole season he would have looked better I'd imagine. 

Also Semien's statcast numbers aren't stellar this year. His xwOBA is almost 40 points lower than his actual wOBA. 

I will never again piss on Leury if he does something big here.

Yup. This is just stupid by Baker. It deserves to backfire.

I'll never understand Grandal's hair. Is it thinning, but he still has a well shaped hairline? Or has his hair just always been very fine?

The important questions. He is sporting the Brandon Fraser of course (im nervously posting this since my hair is thinning badly).

While Garcia is batting with a 2-0 count, Garcia is coming in to relieve Garcia.

Better hope Putin doesn't have this on tape

Which is why the Kimbrel move is the killer. It made the team worse and you lost 2 young guys who you could have maybe traded next year.

He'd still be way better than Leury and Hernandez

Dusty didn’t let Garcia take the ball with him?

Wow, changing in the middle of the count...has TLR done that all season?
