Planning for the Cubs series

Post by chuckaluck1 »

It’s inexcusable how the organization couldn’t figure out how to not pitch Gray in Pittsburgh and then have him open the series at Wrigley. Instead we had two of the worst starters in MLB throwing batting practice. The end of the current regime can’t come soon enough.

You make a very fair point.
It was a poor plan for the rotation.

They should have found a way to start Gray in the series. They also should have started Matz instead of either Mikolas or Fedde in one of the games. Somewhat like the Cardinals, the cubs are vulnerable to LH pitching. The cubs are 8-5 in their last 13 games, and in each loss the opposing winning pitcher was a lefty: Liberatore, Matz, Walter, Valdez, and Matz again.
