Cubs up 1-0 in the top of the 9th.
Lester hits the first batter to put the tying run on base.
He gets a strike out.
Then there's an infield hit. Left handed batter.
Then there's a strike out where Lester threw 3 balls in a row, and the left handed batter just happened to swing at the third ball.
Now, a RIGHTY batter comes up. YTF don't you just put Rondon in and end this shit? Why are we keeping Lester out there at the end of his "arm?"
I like Maddon's decisions almost always, but what do we have a closer for if not for this very situation?
Big win against the Cards. Haren with his first strong outing as a Cub. Fowler continues to have a monster second half.
