Cubs batters started figuring him out in a hurry. It was time to pull him.


Nah. He started missing the zone. So therefore They stuck to their pitch count and pulled him instead of letting him finish the inning.

Lost his confidence after the homerun. which is rare for him, but it was his debut so things are heightened.

I hope it gets rained out. The fans deserve a refund.

All the bullpen had to do was get one more out before the rain delay. Getting shelled is understandable. Walking in three straight runs is disgraceful.

Yes pitch count was the biggest thing, he'd not pitched more than 75 pitches in the minors and they were not going to let him go much past that. I think they let him stay in for Suzuki because he'd made him look bad the first two times. But the lefty Bellinger was up next then after that Morel who had absolutely crushed two balls off him earlier so even if the pitch count was 80 I doubt they'd have left him in after Suzuki.
