Starting pitcher

players used to make their own baseball bat or get a wood maker to do it for them. This resulted in a huge variety of sizes, although the round baseball bat was always the most popular.

bullpen who has been pitching very well, in particular Andrew Miller. They did have to make a tough decision when giving Trevor Bauer the ball to start. The Cubs were a very good hitting team during the Regular Season especially when seeing the same pitcher twice. Bauer pitched a .671 OPS the first, and .675 OPS the second time through the order.

they played during the Regular Season. Fielding errors, shaky pitching and bad at-bats have hindered the Cubs and put them in the deficit they are now in. Game 5 had a slightly different flavor with very strong performances from starting pitcher Jon Lester, relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr., and closer Aroldis Chapman the Cubs.
