The Chicago Cubs are in a heated race, and every decision manager David Ross makes will be highly scrutinized.
For a guy who participated in “Dancing With the Stars,” Chicago Cubs manager David Ross has no real feel for Hollywood endings.came to the plate with a runner on first and no outs in the ninth inning, after the Cubs had taken a one-run lead over the Rockies.[Don't miss] Can the Chicago Cubs bullpen step up without closer Adbert Alzolay? ‘We’ll match them up as best as possible.
The Cubs face a couple of potential handicaps as they begin the final stretch of this strange but beguiling season. The first was losing closer Adbert Alzolay to the injured list with a right forearm strain, which forced Ross to audible with his bullpen after the threesome of Julian Merryweather, Mark Leiter Jr. and Alzolay were instrumental in the team’s turnaround in late June.
The second potential hazard the Cubs face is inexperience on the bench, in the bullpen and at the back end of the rotation, though Jordan Wicks and Javier Assad have helped alleviate those concerns. “The future is bright for a lot of our minor leaguers that are coming up,” Ross said. “But now is not the time to get those guys at-bats.”Crow-Armstrong — or simply “PCA,” as Marquee Sports Network insists we call him — is a different breed. His lack of experience won’t keep him from playing, and the Cubs obviously need a quality left-handed bat. Jeimer Candelario’s recent slump should allow Ross to give Crow-Armstrong regular starts in center, with Cody Bellinger at first base. But we’ll see.
