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

[UMFan83]

Even if Soler parks one I do not approve of this move

[Coach C]

How could this game have you stressed?

 

Because it is the freaking playoffs.....

 

Well yeah, but they've been in control all the way, nothing to worry about yet.

 

I understand where you're coming from, and I respect with that. But this is the playoffs, not the regular season. Everything changes when the real games are being played. Especially if you have very high expectations.

I lean towards going for the run making sense. I wonder if we'll start Chapman in the 8th (I doubt it.)

[Irrelevant Dude]

If you're gonna take Lester out, you really shouldn't have had Ross hit.

It's a short bench with the extra pitcher.

[KatJ]

You'd better launch one, George.

[Tryptamine]

absolutely terrible decision. You're up 2 and you sacrifice Lester up for a 1/3 chance to score.

[Clem Fandango]

Don't feel good about Lester getting pulled. I know why, but I don't like it.

[KatJ]

You'd better launch one, George.

[soccer10k]

I rarely second guess Joe, but I don't like this much, especially if Wood is coming in.

 

Hoping Wood is just coming in for Gonzalez and then it will be Edwards for Ruiz and Hernandez.

[UMFan83]

IMO it should be Montgomery coming in not Wood but maybe he's trying to save for a long appearance tomorrow Edited October 16, 2016 by UMFan83

[Thusly Boned]

Joe's love affair with Wood is going to bite us in the ass sooner or later.

[nolanwood]

Lester gave up four hits in 6 innings, and we pull him with a 2 run lead?

[USSoccer]

That was a dumb decision with two outs.

[TMan92]

Have you been watching?

[nolanwood]

I hate that move.

[davell]

Wood, then Strop, I guess....

[Sammys Boombox]

This offense is really pissing me off

No

[imb]

lester wasnt exactly fooling people, im probably ok with this

[Tryptamine]

Bringing in the flyball pitcher Wood on a night where a lazy flyball turned into a bomb. I don't like it at all. This should be Montgomery.

[Derwood]

You whiners are going to look so silly when Wood mows them down next inning

[Thusly Boned]

I have mixed feelings about the move. On the one hand, Jon hasn't allowed much. On the other, his command hasn't been great, and I feel like he's gotten away with some pitches.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Lester gave up four hits in 6 innings, and we pull him with a 2 run lead?

To be fair, he was getting hit harder than those numbers show.

[UMFan83]

Lester gave up four hits in 6 innings, and we pull him with a 2 run lead?

 

The fact that we have a 2 run lead and the fact that it's 2 outs are the biggest reasons I disagree. Slightly smaller reasons are you PH Soler for him when you need a base hit to make it count and you replaced Lester with Wood

[davell]

If Wood fails to get Gonzalez out, I hope we don't see him again this series.
