0-2 comebacks in LDS play

[UMFan83]

Since the LDS began in 1995 there have been 48 series. Of those 48 series:

 

-27 of those 48 teams faced an 0-2 defecit (56%)

 

-9 of those 27 teams managed to win at least 1 game (33%)

 

-0 of those 27 teams managed to lose in 5 games (0%)

 

-4 of those 27 teams came back from down 0-2 to win (15%)

[Peoriaman]

anything is possible, but bad is bad. Toast.

[Coach C]

They don't have a chance. They're swinging at crap pitches which I expected better plate discipline. It's like they can't even see the top spin of the ball, which makes it break and dive towards the ground.

 

They're not making great decisions on the pitching either, other than Zambrano.

 

I expected better than seeing this Mickey Mouse (expleitive). :x

 

*sigh*

[Omar]

I don't see this team coming back from 0-2... But anything is possible.

 

LOL

so, you're saying we have a chance?

exactly. so far we've played like [expletive], so obviously the best reaction is to pour gasoline all over ourselves while complaining about the inevitability of defeat. since things are going so badly, maybe we should just forfeit now and ensure that we won't get our hopes up anymore.

arod's so rich i think he'll play for the minimum just to play in chicago.

[Twiggy]

can't swing when you let decent balls go by, and swing at terrible curve balls all game long.

I doubt it...although I hope he would consider it.

nobody has won game 3 and 4, just to lose in Game 5? Never?

Then that's what we'll do. If there's a way to make history and break all of our hearts, then the Cubs will find it!

Yeah, that surprises me as well. Does that mean there is such a thing as momentum?? Or is this a sample size issue? Has NSBB developed its own set of cliches?

 

While I sometimes take issue with the stat-o-centric, all-unquantifiable-events-are-luck mindset of this board (even as a math major), I will say that since joining this group I have become a much more knowledgeable baseball fan. I won't be on the boards Saturday, because I'll be at the game. But it's been great learning from all of the other posters on this board this year. Whatever happens, I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to more baseball conversations in the future.

Its not impossible, but when you have a guy who has gets the least amount of run support in the game pitching a must win situation, it doesnt look good.

[NCCubFan]

They don't have a chance.

Yes they do. Maybe not much of one, but until they're officially eliminated there's always a chance.

[CuseCubFan69]

I say it's a pretty nice time to have a 3 game winning streak.

[Cubfanintheknow]

If the Cubs can win game three, I'm confident they'll win game 4.

 

Sadly, I have little confidence in the Cubs winning game 5. They'll drag this series on just long enough to suck a little more life out of me.

[biittner77]

The '84 Padres looked about as bad as a team could in the first 2 games of the 5 game NLCS that year. Maybe this is the official end of the curse ie- the Cubs make the miracle comeback instead of choking it away.

That's how the Red Sox did it!

 

Win game 3 and Z goes in 4.
