Response to a friend’s comments on the previous Cubs post:
I only saw the recap of today’s game on my phone, but here’s what it looked like. I could be wrong, as I’m only looking at the box score. Sveum brought in a reliever in the seventh, who had a 1-2-3 inning. If so, he’s on that day. He then takes him out and brings in Wood, again assuming every pitcher will be on that day, and Wood gets bombed. You know the prior pitcher was on, but he takes him out. He then brings in Marmol in a non-save situation, where he struggles, and he struggled again, facing four batters and giving up two hits and two walks. Am I missing something, or is this exactly what I told you after the first game?
