![]() So, again, yes, Wesneski’s performance was a “thing.” The two run-scoring hits were both extremely well-struck and came on pitches that missed their spots badly. Then, of course, there was Hayden Wesneski’s performance (more on the decision to use him in a moment), which was brief but ineffective. So yes, that’s definitely among the “things” that cost the Cubs the game. And he hit a two-run homer in a game his team won by a single run. No, I won’t beat up on a guy for one bad pitch, but that’s definitely the guy in the lineup you can’t make that kind of mistake to. He also did make one extraordinarily terrible pitch to Pete Alonso. Kyle Hendricks was solid overall, but a bit inefficient and set up some of the bullpen decisions. I guess because most had been elevated, as soon as his eye level changed he got caught guessing off-speed? You don’t see a strikeout like that too often from a big league hitter, and hopefully there’s some learning value for Morel. I can’t say what happened on that one, since Morel was clearly geared up for the fastball. Christopher Morel led the game off with a homer, so you can say he had a good night, but obviously staring at a middle-middle strike three with the tying run on third and one out in the 9th kinda hurts the overall effort. The performance issues are easy enough to note, with the bats going 0-9 with runners in scoring position, and only Seiya Suzuki having a really huge game.
