Flyman75 5,199 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 What's going on in Chicago? Fry has pitched pretty well lately...not great but solid. Over his last 10 outings, he has a 2.45 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 7.1 innings (17 K and 3 BB). He got the last save opp...will he be getting future opps or is that a fullblown committee? As bad as Fry was until recently, he still seems like the best option in that dreadful bullpen. Link to post Share on other sites
Lebanasty 183 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Leclerc making trouble for himself with a leadoff walk and a wild pitch to move him to 3rd with 0 outs. EDIT: I should clarify. He's having a lot of trouble commanding his slider. Link to post Share on other sites
Ratso1022 71 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 FYI, Boone is going to try to stay away from Robertson again tonight. Even though Robertson claims he is ready to go, with off day tomorrow, they want to give him an extra day. This coming from Yankee pre game. Link to post Share on other sites
Backdoor Slider 8,391 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Rondon with the 8th today. Bottom of the order. Osuna will face Haniger, Cano, Seager (Cruz) in the 9th. Hit that “like” if you’re rooting for Osuna to blow it! ????? Link to post Share on other sites

Every night, it's a different personality making decisions, and one happens to prefer Rondon and the other Osuna. Link to post Share on other sites
kidtwentytwo 5,517 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 So after 10 years or so of being in this thread I deserve a bench coachish question... can anyone give me a guess how long Chapman is out for? I need to finalize playoff rosters tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
Jason123 56 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'd wager that Chapman is out for more than the 10 day minimum and likely won't be back for 3 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

You beat me to it. I was going to say 3 weeks as well. Makes no sense for them to rush him back given that they have other options. They just need to hang on to the top WC with the division long dead. Link to post Share on other sites

Betances has been by far the best of the 3 but it wouldn't shock me if Boone keeps him in the setup role and we see D-Rob or Britton get opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites

BostonCajun 1,708 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 In my opinion Seranthony is safe in his role. This was a blown save but if you watched the game you’d have seen he was pitching well and it was far from an implosion. He got the first two outs fairly easily albeit the first one was an excellent catch by the LF. He gave up a hit to a great hitter in Soto on what was an excellent at bat in which he fought off many good pitches from Seranthony. Then gave up the hr to Zimmerman. I think his his performance this year in that role has served the Phillies well and has earned him a longer leash. Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't watching it, but from what I can tell Maddon didn't let him pitch the 9th for no reason. It was still a save opportunity since he came in during the 8th when it was 4-2. Thanks Joe...
