Genius move by Maddon if you think about it, the Cubs were never going to score off the Dodgers bullpen anyway so you might as well save your arms and throw out the guy who's most likely to give up the walk-off.

I'm still just baffled at the Taylor at bat. Lackey gets strike 1 and then throws a slider for ball 1 (it's the closest pitch) and then goes back to the same spot with two more curve balls to the exact same spot and each pitch was farther and farther away from being a strike. Both of the inside pitches had him locked up. And yet instead Lackey just wants to keep going outside. I'd really love to know what Contreras was calling for there at 3-2 because I bet it wasn't some outside bullshit.

It would be one thing if we were hitting and still getting beat, but it's just embarrassing. Especially with as much as we're helping them out.

Righties can't hit Jansen but lefties aren't that bad against him. This is important because the Cubs bench had a bunch of lefties available to hit off him and didn't use them.

Though if the Dodgers winning a WS is the price to pay for them to lose the NL West next year to the D’backs for all my friends here I’ll gladly take that too.

To be fair the bullpen was actually mostly competent tonight. Lackey is not part of the pen, Lackey is Lackey. Also the joke is that Taylor would have swung at the first pitch from Duensing and popped it up, ending the inning.

It's easy to blame the bullpen or whatever but if the offense was working it wouldn't even matter.
