The Chicago Cubs beat the Texas Rangers 2-0 on Friday, thanks in part to another strong performance from starter Marcus Stroman.
Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman is congratulated in the dugout after finishing off the Rangers in the fifth inning on April 7, 2023, at Wrigley Field.
Ross said he welcomes the criticism, and as a former analyst with ESPN he understands the game relies on fan debate, much of which the media fuels. He’s not averse to taking risks, no matter the potential for Twitter abuse.Ross made one of those risky decisions Friday in the sixth inning, leaving Marcus Stroman in with a 1-0 lead after the Cubs starter loaded the bases with two outs with his second walk of the inning.
“That just gives me more confidence,” Stroman said. “I already have a lot of confidence in my sinker to begin with and I truly feel like if I can get my sinker to where I can get it in the zone that it’s going to be an out the majority of the time. If you give me more confidence, that’s a scary sight.”
Ross has been getting multiple innings out of several relievers, which has helped keep them fresh and still leave him with options on days they need to rest. Chicago Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger drives in a run with a single in the fourth inning of a game against the Texas Rangers at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Friday, April 7, 2023.
