He needed him to max out, and he did.
And Tyone early in the game, you get nervous about him early, gives up a couple of hits in the first.
In the second, he did allow the home run to Mark Vientos.
He does like his solo home runs.

I mean, I think you got the right position and picture.
I just think you went a little too early with who you selected.
It's got to be Caleb Philbar.
Caleb Philbar comes into a couple of games.
Remember, the Cubs were laughing their way through the week at one point after that suffering, that loss on Monday in which Javier Saad gave up the world.
To see Caleb Philbar on the day they put...
someone on the injured list, come out and be like, okay, I guess I'm the guy.

The automatic runner, the Manfred man, if you will, he gets stranded on third base because Thielbar is able to fight his way through it.
You wondered on Friday, right after the show, well, Daniel Palencia, who's going to fill the role?
