Sara’s Snapshots: A closer look at a fearless defensive play from Carlos González

The last spot on the Cubs bench has been a bit of a rotating cast of characters. Mark Zagunis got a chance to try his hand there and aside from a few well-timed walks and some spot play that didn’t really work out. For a couple of games Joe Maddon just turned that into an extra bullpen arm, and frankly, I’m a little surprised he didn’t do that more often given the state of the bullpen. Most recently Jim Adduci got a chance to try his hand at that spot, and well, I thought the people asking on Twitter whether the Cubs had a split-squad game in Houston were on point about those particular lineups.
