Man, I'm not liking the current feel of this one. Get some outs quickly please.

[Sammy Sofa]

Does Maddon think about benching Rizzo against Kershaw tomorrow? Even for a second?

 

This is super Derwood-y.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ugh. Shut them down, Jon.

[Stu]

Better at-bat for Addy that time at least.

[TMan92]

Man Riz and Addy killing us right now. Combined 2-36 in the playoffs.

 

Although he has one huge hit, Zorbrist has been pretty damn awful too. I would walk Bryant every at bat right now.

[USSoccer]

Need a shutdown inning

No

[Gilby]

I worry about Lester's health going back out to pitch after that 1 hour delay

[DurbanJer]

Nah, I thought it was obvious I wasn't promoting the idea. Whatevs

The double was a ball that got lost in the sun.

We really need to get some balls in the air other than pop ups

Yep. He probably starts his daily lineup construction with the thought "now what's the dumbest thing I could do?" and then works backwards

[Thusly Boned]

I'm not concerned, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to see the lineup tweaked a bit.

 

Fowler

Zobrist

Bryant

Rizzo

Baez

Heyward

Russell

Catcher

 

Considering current trends, that's about how I would do it.

Nice play, Rizzo!

[cubscott34]

Nice D Cubs!

[Coach C]

As bad as Rizzo is at the plate, can't take him out. His defense has been good.

[USSoccer]

Nice

[ScrubMD]

Ok, that makes up for *one* of your terrible ABs, Rizzo.

[DurbanJer]

Our Defense is just sick.

We need a flyswatter for every time someone tries to move Bryant down.

I thought you of all people would recognize a little hyperbole.

[raw]

Well, if you're not going to hit.....

Katrina Pierson is shaking her head at this.
