Chapman fires a ball past bullpen catcher that causes delay in game. That shouldn't shock anyone. Wrigley is not a good pen for him.

So why send your worst hitter on the bench to pinch hit in that situation?
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Dusty obviously wanted a hit and run there. Thought Valdez was the guy to make contact.Originally Posted by CySeymour
Cozart takes the free pass as well.
Dude can't find the strike zone. Valdez either didnt give himself a chance or Dusty wouldn't let him.
I like Hanigan in that role, but I understand not wanting to burn your backup catcher.
Hit and run...Dusty didn't let him.
Reds have 5 walks today, Cubs 0.
Nice hitting by Stubbs today
Solid knock by Stubbs. 6 for his last 10. RBI
Drew looks like a completely different guy the past 2 days. Not just the hits, but the swing too. 8-4 good guys.
Stubbs promptly swipes 2nd.
Maybe because he's batting in front of Votto? I have no idea, but it's a theory. I will applaude Dusty for this one (I don't do that oftern, or at all).
Gotta wonder if it's the fastballs he's seeing in front of Votto.
Heck of a catch by Byrd. Robbed Joey.
That AB he saw sliders and a cutter.
