10/16 NLCS Game 2: Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:08 PM CT FS1/670

[USSoccer]

I get the matchups on paper but can we stop using our 6th best relievers late?

[BigSlick]

that ball 2 was [expletive] but you also need to hit the strike zone after that Montgomery

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong......

 

but the runner at 2B doesn't have to run does he if 1st and 2nd and the runner going to 2B is thrown out first, right?

I wouldn't think so.

Correct, but instincts take over that you have to go at that point. I'm also pretty sure there's a condition of the rule about 'intentionally dropping' a ball, but Baez played it smoothly enough that it's at best a gray area.

[UMFan83]

Sure you don't want to PH in this spot Roberts?

[cubbyvirus00]

Cubs offense looks awful. We have 3 automatic outs in the lineup

[Derwood]

Why is FS1 so in love with that "catcher crotch shot" camera angle? There has to be a more flattering way to show the catcher giving the signs

[tawfiqmp]

Arrieta can hit elite pitching, put him up

[Schwarber Fan]

if we get lucky we might pitchcount kershaw out just in time to face the best closer in the NL

 

We traded Chapman to the Dodgers?

[TMan92]

You can't horsefeathering walk Chase Utley here

1. The Cubs have 4 lefties in the pen for a reason.

2. Montgomery probably isn't the 6th best reliever, but whatever.

how exactly would you recommend they do that

This is idiotic, but just to see exactly how idiotic, which 3 are you referring to?

[BigSlick]

this ump HATES montgomery

[UMFan83]

Montgomery finally faces a non-pitcher lefty and he walks him on 4 pitches

[USSoccer]

Two walks. Great.

[BigSlick]

Montgomery finally faces a non-pitcher lefty and he walks him on 4 pitches

to be fair, it should be a 2-2 count right now

[NotSoSober]

Maddon has no faith in this bullpen, and neiter do I

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Montgomery it's awfully noble that you want to clear Seager for a RH reliever next inning but if you could just throw a got dang strike I'd appreciate it

We are facing the best pitcher of our era. There isn't a team that wouldn't look awful when he's on.

[TMan92]

this ump HATES montgomery

 

BS. He deserved every one of those.

[Careless]

I am not joking when I say I am writing in Javy Baez in for President. And yes I know he was born in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Ricans are eligible to be president. 23 year olds are not.

It's been done on other broadcasts without looking so goddamned clunky
