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

[Thusly Boned]

I knew we were fvcked when the Giants beat the Mets.

 

The Giants were the team I wanted to face the least, but we're not fucked.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Theo will probably respond by trading Javy and we can watch Ben Zobrist putz around for two more years.

 

He was a 4-win player this year.

yeah, but he's also pushing 53 years old in 2B years

I'm going to stand by this unpopular opinion. He's a utility guy whose been overexposed and he hasn't been good in 3 months.

[Outshined_One]

Question: where would this game be with Zobrist at 2B?

 

where would this game be with Schwarber in LF......

 

Gallifrey. Schwarber would have hit a ball hard enough to rip the space time continuum to ribbons.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Question: where would this game be with Zobrist at 2B?

 

Worse.

 

Zobrist shouldn't start game 5

 

I say this in the gentlest way possible, you have made a lot of very bad posts today.

[Schwarber Fan]

What are the chances we have a raucous game 5 crowd instead of a timid, scared one?

Yeah, give Coghlan a shot or something.

Good lord you ninnies. Sack up. It's a game. And they're going to win. So fatalistic.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I'm not conceding this game but if there is a game 5, what do you think the chances are Bumgarner comes in to relieve Cueto? We need to jump on him early if there is a possibility of him coming in to shut us down

 

Umm, he sucked last night and would be on short rest. And also Jon Lester is pitching for us. Settle down.

 

JFC I just asked a question and also expressed no lack of confidence in our ability to win the game

 

I mean seriously people are freaking out left and right and I'm told to settle down because i am asking if it's possible we see Bumgarner in a hypothetical close game 5

 

The settle down was directed at everyone. The rest is: Who cares if he pitches?

I've drank enough I can't feel my face

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Thought experiment for everyone. Before this series started, if some genie sidled up to you and said "I can put the series at 2-1 Cubs, but the Giants have a 5-2 lead in the middle of the 7th" would you have given him the thumbs up?

 

That probably is a bad deal, but only by a couple of percentage points.

...so now that its top of the 8th?

wrong. there would not have been a game 4.......... :)

I don't think it's personal, you just caught in the crossfire of the freakouts and the reactions to the freakouts.

[Outshined_One]

Park another one, gramps.

[minnesotacubsfan]

But I can still type

[OleMissCub]

Zobes just needs to hear his wife's crappy music and he'll be good again

[ScrubMD]

Its gonna be so sweet when we win despite being outplayed nearly the whole game.

Definitely not personal. UMFAn's post was just the only one that was even rational enough to address.

7 innings of 2-hit ball against MATT MOORE. Even if we win they should make us play game 5

 

Sorry, 8 innings

[Tim]

I think it is funny that of the many hits I'm getting from SF tonight that not a single person has had the cajones to make a post.

[Schwarber Fan]

Unbelievable that Matt Moore is going to get through 8 innings.

That's fine if you want to use a reply to my post to tell the board to settle down, and I am fine with ripping posts that are dumb and/or overly negative including mine, but I mean it's a question I was wondering because he's done it before (albeit in the World Series which is a big difference)

 

Sometimes people ask questions because they want the people that are baseball smarter (like you) to give a reasonable answer so that we can all be smarter.

Not a great matchup for Jorge here

[Outshined_One]

Got under it. Boo.

[Derwood]

dammit, Jorge, don't semi-pimp a 350 foot fly ball
