No homers, an angry manager, but nothing can stop Cubs from taking series against Reds. McGrawDHSports Cubs
When Reds pitcher Jeff Weaver walked 3 straight batters in the third inning Thursday at Wrigley Field, his manager David Bell decided to channel the late Earl Weaver.
It seemed like Bell was more upset with how this series has gone than anything. Cincinnati left town with three straight losses after dropping a 5-3 decision Thursday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have now gone 13-3 over their last 16 games. This game was the lowest-scoring of the four and there were no Cubs home runs, a mild surprise since weather conditions were roughly the same. Cubs starter Jameson Taillon survived 5 innings with 2 runs allowed, which is a decent result the way the ball has carried this week, and recorded a win for the fifth straight start.
The way Tauchman has played lately, he needs to be in the lineup, especially against right-handers, and switch-hitter Candelario is better from the left side. One variation could be Tauchman in center, Suzuki in right, Bellinger at first and Candelario at third. For this game, Nick Madrigal was at third.
Before the game, Ross talked about taking the time to discuss roles and expectations for his players.
