I'm sorry, what bad managing decision. Someone had to pitch this inning. McFarland is on the team so he's got to pitch. Makes sense it would be when we're down, not with a tight lead. If McF doesn't fall behind 2-0 to a .201 hitter, we probably get out of the inning. It's on McF, not Showalter.

To me, McFarland is a long man, not a matchup guy.

I would have started the inning with brach and just let him blow people away.

McFarland let's far too many lead off guys get on base for him to be a matchup guy

I agree he isn't match up guy but he had already used Matusz and like I said he needs work. The one thing with how good our starters have been is getting a guy like TJ into the game.

Does anyone feel like the Cubbies are trying to rub it in a little? The manager went out there in the 7th and left Jake in. Why he had to come out of the dugout? I don't know. Now they bring in Strop another former Oriole.

No, Strop seems to follow Jake a lot, and I don't know what the reasoning behind it though.

I don't think that Showalter was matching up with McFarland. It was his inning until he put someone on base. Then it became a matchup situation and he brought in Brach, who, by the way, allowed the inherited runner to score. Oh, well. First place and at least an 8 game lead. I wasn't really expecting to go 6-0 in Chicago.
