Nice half dong, Kris

[Irrelevant Dude]

Nice job TBS, the "thunderous ovation" sounded like a game in May against the Marlins.

[Andy]

They're bringing in yet another lefty to face Rizzo, make it hurt

[TysonCBulls423]

You don't put Rizzo on but you don't give him anything good to hit...right?

[Guest]

Rizzo is 2 for 17 against Niese but no Ks

 

weird

[LeonDurham]

If it makes you feel better to tell yourself that tbs k zone is off then fine.

 

So we trust gameday all year long but now we're going to believe TBS instead? Sorry. I gave up on the TBS zone a few games ago. The thing isn't accurate at all and we can't tell with the naked eye if a ball is outside because the camera is off to the side.

 

 

This one is worse. And the one from game 1 got 6 of 8 called strike 3 on Cub hitters. Cubs are a selective team. A wide zone favors the other team.

Man, just missed getting out.

how on earth can that be

You don't bring in a lefty to put the tying run on.

[KatJ]

You know what I've really hated are the Mets jerseys these past two games. It looks Cubbie blue on the TV -- have to look hard to realize the orange numbers.

[Guest]

Then why even bring on the lefty?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 62-24 (.721) when the opposing starter pitches 5-2/3 innings or less.... 39-43 (.476) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[rocket]

Can't beat dead relative karma

[KatJ]

Man, just missed getting out.

 

Two breaks going the Cub way, and it'd be 4-3. MYT a little.

[rocket]

Damn crush that pitch

[KatJ]

So the Cub pitchers get 4-5 strikes and the Mets get 2. Yeah, that's fair.

[UMFan83]

You had to mention the no Ks

[Irrelevant Dude]

Dammit Rizzo.

[Guest]

it feels like rizzo is so susceptible to pitchers there...yet he doesn't strike out much at all

[Schwarber Fan]

I know Rizzo is the reason we won game 4 of the NLDS, but [expletive] has been hugely unclutch otherwise.

[Guest]

He laid off 3 down there. Just couldn't lay off the fourth.

[rawaction]

Swung at ball 5

hey jinxer no jinxing

[Andy]

Rizzo, if you were going to chase that pitch, do it the first time before you get my hopes up
