10/21 Mets (Matz) @ Cubs (Hammel) 7:07 pm TBS

so that inning was bad for the Cubs and good for the mets. Good insight.

Geez, if that Castro hit was a couple feet higher this is a ball game.

 

I feel like Castro has hit everything that hard this series. He has little to show for it, but he's been on top of everything.

 

You're not wrong, he's actually acquitted himself pretty well.

I can't decide if it will make me feel better or worse when Fangraphs comes out with an article that shows how the Cubs were the unluckiest team with regards to line drive BABIP (if that's even a thing) in playoff history

[SheffieldBoy]

omg a 1, 2, 3, inning!!! Let's go Cubs!!!

[UMFan83]

Predictions: which of the Cubs that we've seen so far is playing their last game for the Cubs?

 

I'll go with Hammel, Richard, Wood, Fowler and I guess Baez

[Bryants Disco Ball]

If the Cubs batters just concentrate a little more next inning on doing well, I could see us taking the lead.

[Schwarber Fan]

god they make every damn play.

 

The true difference in this series.

It's obvious Turner broadcasting blew the budget on the NBA crew

 

Never thought I'd long for the objectivity of Joe [expletive] Buck

It's definitely a thing. Someone Tweeted that the league average on balls hit 107 MPH (I'm presuming that was Castro's) was .701.

I know many would like it, but Hammel probably isn't going anywhere. Right?

Last time the CUBS have gotten a 1-2-3 inning: Tue Oct 13 vs STL

 

Go Cubs!

[rocket]

I'm back did I miss anything

[Andy]

There is 0 chance that ball is called a strike if we are pitching

[Billy_Buck]

Whatever you do, don't make Matz work at all.

[NotSoSober]

nice hustler fowler. it's not like this game means anything, jackass

[ScrubMD]

Holy crap, we got a break.

[OleMissCub]

Plz Kris

[KatJ]

Come on Matz, throw one away.

 

Nice hit, Soler. 2 on 2 out for KB.

[ScrubMD]

Soler is amazing.

Probably not, I don't know what kind of trade value he has at this point. If there were some way to manage his workload, he could be an asset, because first half Hammel each of the last two years has been pretty damned good. But we can't go into next October with a rotation of Arrieta, Lester and two bullpen days.

Kill this fat [expletive] before the heart diesease does

[Sammy Sofa]

Someone distract Bartolo by finally bringing him the mighty Chewbacca.

[Andy]

I'm OK with them taking out the hard thrower for Bryant

[Billy_Buck]

Staked to 4-run 1st inning lead and can't get the win. Moral victory!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 31-10 (.756) when the opposing starter pitches 4-2/3 innings or less.... 70-59 (.543) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
