Counsell stands by short-rest Boyd after G1 flop
In the aftermath of Matthew Boyd's poor performance in Game 1 of the National League Division Series, Cubs manager Craig Counsell has expressed his confidence in the decision to start the left-hander on three days' rest. Despite Boyd's short outing, lasting only eight batters, Counsell stated that he was "very comfortable" with the decision to give the pitcher the start. The Cubs suffered a 9-3 loss to the Brewers in the opening game of the series. Counsell's decision to go with Boyd on short rest, rather than a more rested pitcher, has come under scrutiny, but the manager remains steadfast in his support of the move. The article does not provide further details on the reasons behind Counsell's decision or the performance of the rest of the Cubs' roster in the game.
