10/18 NLCS Game 3: Cubs (Jake) @ Dodgers (Rich Hill) & Stupid Old Umpire 7:00 PM CT FS1/670

[UMFan83]

I wish I knew a Dodgers fan so I could punch them in the face

[imb]

what is so [expletive] baffling about this pitching

 

they're really good and we're really cold

[soccer10k]

So much for the Montgomery theory. Guess Joe has already decided on Lester tomorrow

 

It's going to be Lackey.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

this game is just checking every box of potential ways to annoy me

 

you already warmed Zastryzny, use him

 

or better yet, use Edwards since you can't use him more than twice in the final 4 games anyway

[Ski]

Our offense is trying TOO hard, methinks. It's not natural anymore.

[Gmoney08]

96 Yanks were down 2-0 and rattled off 4 titles in 5 years. Lets do the same except down 2-1..

 

Hell yanks came back against the 90s Braves, the Dodgers offense looks like the 90s Cubs to me..

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So much for the Montgomery theory. Guess Joe has already decided on Lester tomorrow

 

If Lester is starting tomorrow, he'll have to earn it by telling Lackey.

[TMan92]

I don't know about you guys but I have zero confidence in Lackey winning tomorrow

[imb]

at this rate the dodgers wont pitch Kershaw in Game 5 because they'll be saving him for Game 1

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I wish I knew a Dodgers fan so I could punch them in the face

 

Come to my office. It would be very cathartic for me.

[UMFan83]

Because of his 07 playoff choke and now tonight Rich Hill is my least favorite person ever and I would punch him in the face if I came across him in public

[Thusly Boned]

This team like last year is pressing massively.

 

A few of the guys for sure, but not the whole team. Rizzo and Russell have been the problem. Rizzo is such a catalyst for the rest of the offense, having him cold is really problematic. Rizzo's approach is getting better, but Russell seems to be in full on hero mode.

I mean imb isn't an idiot like hawkehateverthefuck, he's just an horsefeathers

[Irrelevant Dude]

Getting hits looks fun.

[Sammys Boombox]

Lower AVG and OBP than the 2015 NLCS. Didn't know that was possible.

[Boris]

I'm happy we live to fight another day. Still hopeful.

[TMan92]

Stealing third up 5-0. This is when I wish we were the cards.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Pederson with a double off a lhp

 

I think I have bogus baseball bingo

[Irrelevant Dude]

This is a good time to burn our best left-handed reliever (not counting Chapman) and let him throw a lot of pitches.

[DurbanJer]

isn't it past time for the fans in LA to have gone home......?

[trushar]

Well, sometimes it's not easy (I guess? I wish it was easy b/c I'm a mess) but 2-1 isn't exactly the big deficit that my crazy face thinks it is. These guys are going to hopefully get it done b/c baseball god damnit.

It's going to be Lackey.

 

That's what he wants you to think. Pulled after 77 pitches in game 1, last chance to get 3 starts by LHP in the series, Dodgers hit 175 points of OPS less against lefties, Cubs in a situation where it's not must win but probably should win, every other manager is abusing their starters and having success etc

 

Have lackey go against kershaw in game 5, maybe he will have a chip on his shoulder and match him.

[Thusly Boned]

You'd probably be able to punch him between the eyes with room to spare.

 

Rich Hill is ugly

[George Hayduke]

Stealing third up 5-0. This is when I wish we were the cards.

No

Starting Lester in Game 4 will make me want to scream into a pillow, a capper on a truly garbage baseball day
