Hoyer continues to have Ross' back; Gomes gets right back to winning. Cubs McGrawDHSports Cubs
Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer continued to back manager David Ross when speaking to reporters before Wednesday's game at Wrigley Field.
"It's not really how the game is usually played, right? Usually there's a 2-run homer, a 3-run homer, a big inning that will give the manager some breathing room or the team some breathing room. We haven't had that. We've played close game after close game and I think that's magnified some decisions that are well-thought out decisions, but things happen."
by signing up you agree to our terms of service One example of a move criticized by some was bunting early in Sunday's game against Miami, an eventual 14-inning loss. After two singles, Miguel Amaya sacrificed the runners to second and third, with the top of the order coming up, but the Cubs never scored.
Gomes went 3-for-3 with a 2-run homer in his first game back after spending just over a week on the injured list with a concussion. After a decent major league debut by Amaya, the Cubs should want to him to spend as much time as possible learning from Gomes. But coming off two major injuries, Amaya has played in just 23 and 40 games in the minor leagues the past two seasons.
