10/11 - NLDS Game 4: Cubs (Lackey) @ Giants (Moore) 7:40 CT FS1/670

[LeonDurham]

Good AB's from everyone on that team. And what happened to our allstars.

[Thusly Boned]

Zobrist just looks so awkward in the OF.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm going to bed, not completely giving up but I'm too tired for this horsefeathers after last night.

[Schwarber Fan]

Situational hitting. Don't do it, lose playoff games.

[TMan92]

Just can't get this [expletive] out.

[MarkR]

How long until Hunter Pence is cast as Marv from Home Alone's son in re-branding the series? My wife shudders every time he's on our screen.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Giants are 10 for 19 on balls in play today, plus 2 sac flies

 

The Cubs are 1 for 11 with a sac fly and a HR

[Thusly Boned]

Spend the next two days working on your "it is okay, we have so much young talent, we will be back lots of times" posts.

 

Please spend the next two days (or more) somewhere other than NSBB.

[LeonDurham]

I blame this all on the offense. Every time the Cubs fail to put any pressure on them offensively, it makes these slap hitting scrubs stronger and stronger.

Their hitters are waiting for our mistakes. Our hitters and flailing at or watching their mistakes.

10-20 now SUCK IT GIANTS

[Splendid Splinter]

4 innings to get 3 runs... they can do that.

How many balls have our guys really squared up, though? Giants players having superior ABs too.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

okay, 3rd time thru the order on Moore plus a tired pen, go to work

[d_money]

Damn we only have 2 hits. The best record in baseball thing is over rated

[Bull]

LETS DO THIS. GO CUBS!!!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

lester's gonna get knocked all over the yard on thursday btw

 

They literally didn't score against him last week.

[LeonDurham]

Just can't get this [expletive] out.

 

Daniel Murphy

 

 

 

Yeah. Even if they make it to the NLCS, you know Murphy is going to slug like 1200 against the best pitching staff in baseball.

[OleMissCub]

The pressure of a Game 5 at Wrigley + Cueto doesn't have me feeling very wooly. :-(

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Damn we only have 2 hits. The best record in baseball thing is over rated

 

We were 16 games better than the Giants this year. That is slightly less than 1 extra win per 10 games. You just can't expect that to show up reliably in a five game series.

[da bears]

Cubs got this...cardinals [expletive] part two is ending here soon

[Boris]

I'm going to have a moment with this bottle and hopefully not do a header into the floor.

 

Game 5

Is it OK to say that the Giants have been better than us this series despite them being down? I sort of feel fortunate that we are at least taking this to a Game 5 no matter what.

This makes no sense. Do you think they deserve extra wins for games 3 or 4? Was Jon Lester pitching like Jon Lester luck of some sort? Was us beating up terrible Jeff samardzjia something that wasn't supposed to happen? Seriously, stop. Be better than John smoltz.

 

For me Game 1 was a push. Good starting pitching by both.

 

Also remember that our offense has done almost nothing. It's been our pitchers and backup catcher doing all the damage.

 

I feel like SF's bullpen and offense have been better. It might not be that much better, but better.

I just can't believe any one who has watched this team all year thinking there are some fatal flaws on this team that either developed in the last 20 hours or have someone been there all year hiding behind a 103 win team. Over 162 games, we win 60% of our games against the giants. Over 5 games, who knows. But to imply or outright say this team sucks is asinine.
