They had those low ERAs, but every single save they got involved a ton of baserunners. Wags just doesn’t play around.

But I will take that win any day. Hopefully the bats show back up tomorrow. Minus the blown call and the error, JJ gets the win. Wags one more save closer.

Bullpen Philosphy....
Why not just use Wags in the 8th to get the Cub’s top hitters. Moylan is great, but why not let Moylan get their inferior hitters? The closer role is so dumb. it should be called go-to pitcher. Are there any smart managers in baseball?
Because Cox is old.
