Stroman leaves early with blister as Cubs lose their momentum quickly in London loss. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Not sure how many people remember the movie,"Oliver!," the musical based on the Charles Dickens novel"Oliver Twist."
There was a precise moment when the Cubs momentum disappeared into the muck. Stroman loaded the bases with one out in the second, but should have been out of the inning. He struck out Paul DeJong, then coaxed a routine bouncer to second base from Tommy Edman. "It's not the first instance lately where I've sped up plays that don't really need to be sped up," Mancini said, according to the Chicago Tribune."Game's 100% on me. I'm sorry to my teammates and all the fans."
But Liberatore was pulled in the top of the third inning, and during the next two at-bats, Ross pinch-hit Bellinger for Mancini, then Tauchman for DH Miguel Amaya.
