should have been 7 innings and 14K - that was a BS call on the check swing. Torrey is such a clown, bringing in Thompson in the 9th is moronic. Dude is a 6th inning guy. Does the 3 batter min carry over into starting other innings?
Torey is anything but a clown and a pitcher has to face a min of 3 batters. If that means a pitched faced 2 batters to end an inning, he would have to face another batter the following inning.

That’s not correct.
It’s three batters or the end of a half inning

Since Thompson got the last out in the eighth, he was under no obligation to pitch in the ninth

But once he started the ninth, he had to complete the three batters

So Torey could’ve either started someone else in the ninth or he had to do what he did and let Thompson pitch to two batters

Wasn’t aware a pitcher can face less than 3 hitters, no matter the circumstance.
Nonetheless, I’m certain Torey was hoping he could’ve escaped without using Puk, who pitched the day before… Oh well.

I thought Puk hadn't pitched since last Cubs game. At least that's what they said on the broadcast.

How we’re 4-3 with our SP looking somehow worse than last season is beyond me. Guess we’re gonna have to win games 12-10 all year
