How the heck did the Cubs shut out the White Sox 7-0 last night? I have all the more appreciation for Alec Mills, Patrick Wisdom, and Rafael Ortega today …
So that was just a bomb-out. Kyle Hendricks got crushed, as did many of the relievers who followed him (including Scott Effross, making his big league debut, and just never looked settled in). The bats got super whiff happy, which happens a fair bit against Dylan Cease and the White Sox bullpen in any case, but it was particularly rough today.
Frank Schwindel went deep, Alfonso Rivas looked every bit the pesky hitter we hope he is in his debut, and Manny Rodriguez looked like MANNY in his inning of work. Otherwise, this is a total flusher.
