10/15 - NLCS Game 1: Dodgers (Maeda) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:08 PM CT FS1/670

who ever kidnapped good rizzo needs to let him out

[Ski]

Ugh, Rizzo. Please stop pressing.

[raw]

Rizzo should have murdered that 1-1 pitch. Just doesn't look right.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I'm actually finding Buck to be pretty tolerable compared to Vasgergian and Costas.

 

Except for his incessant whining about Kris Bryant not hitting third.

 

Wasn't that Smoltz? I thought that was Smoltz.

 

Oh. Yeah, you're right. And Smoltz has really been grinding my gears.

[davell]

I'm actually finding Buck to be pretty tolerable compared to Vasgergian and Costas.

 

He's actually on record saying he thinks the Cubs winning a WS would be awesome and he'd love to call it.

 

Buck calls a good game, he just needs to not editorialize. So far I haven't noticed and to be honest his voice is synonymous with the highest profile games so it's already an improvement on Vasgersian.

 

I give Vasgersian a semi-pass, since I've listened to his Javy "That's barely humanly possible!" call about a 1000 times.

Yeah I didn't think Vasgersian was bad by any stretch(preferable to the TBS booth last year), and certainly leaps and bounds better than Costas.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

No DP Russell?

[soccer10k]

No DP Russell?

 

Tried to.

[minnesotacubsfan]

safe by a mile

[Coach C]

Yeah, he's safe. That should be overturned.

[UMFan83]

Rizzo should have murdered that 1-1 pitch. Just doesn't look right.

 

We just have to ride it out. Rizzo has these 2-3 week funks occasionally. This one is just poorly timed

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Easily safe

[raw]

No chance he was out.

[BigSlick]

Man, Russell is so bad right now

[JonJayCutler]

WTF was that? Jim Joyce would be proud.

[Ski]

Man, Russell is so bad right now

Russell smoked that ball, though.

[bcl412]

Feels like we've had a lot of hard hit outs this playoffs. I suppose we've had some bloop hit moments too though.

Or maybe it's perfectly timed, since we are still alive and it hasn't mattered. Get hot tomorrow.

[Cubswin11]

If Maeda stays in we have a 5 run inning in us

[Aaron_Kennelly]

It's really a testament to how great we are, with these guys sucking at the plate. Yeah, we can win with pitching, defense and base running, since we are better at those things than anyone. So we will. horsefeathers you all.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Guys, the Cubs are doing this with their 3, 4, 5, and 6 hitters doing nothing.

Didn't the 6 hitter just triple and score not that long ago?

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

It seems like whenever rizzo is in a bad slump like this, he comes out of it with like 4 home runs in 3 days or so. Lets do that.

Who is the last team who was sooo good at everything? Kinda feels like this Cubs team is an all time great team but could be wrong.

[davell]

horsefeathers THEIR INJURY [expletive]. HURT PITCHERS GET HURT.

[MarkR]

Todd Frazier would have made that pick with his eyes closed.
