By the nature of the sport, of course it’s true that an offense has the ability to do thing. Some of a results from a game will always be on them. But it’s also true that, some days, a pitcher is just freaking on one.
That was Dylan Cease today, and it was so very annoying. Frustrating. Boring, frankly, to watch.
Hayden Wesneski was pretty good today by the line, and looked a touch better. Heck, one of the three runs he gave up came after fairly obvious strike three was missed, the batter moved a guy over, and then a bloop hit scored a run. One of those type of days for Wesneski. Mostly looked like a solid starting pitcher.
Unfortunately Cease was better. Probably the best performance the Cubs have faced this year? Maybe longer than this year?
