10/20 Cubs (Lester) vs Dodgers (Maeda) 7 p.m., FS1

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I'm not even going to comment on anything that Heyward does at the plate for the rest of the playoffs. Good or bad.

Trevor Noah is going to play Addison Russell in the movie.

[TruffleShuffle]

what if montero just irreparably broke joe blanton?

[UMFan83]

Joe better not PH Lester

[Thusly Boned]

Leave Blanton in, please.

Who had Russell as the first Cub to have 2 playoff HR's this season??

[Cubswin11]

Dave Roberts. Somehow gonna win NL Manager of the Year

[Little Slide Rooter]

That was just classless of the Dodger 2nd baseman not to help that older gentleman to his feet.

[Billy_Buck]

I <3 Joe Blanton

[ScrubMD]

But what you guys aren't accounting for is that the Dodgers figured out Lester doesn't like throwing to bases.

[mikeyt34]

Addy's HR was huge in two ways. Joe was seriously considering PH for Lester. I want Lester for at least two more innings.

[Thusly Boned]

Lester just missed it. Taking some good swings tonight.

[Brian]

really would have liked to get Ross in, but keep dealing Jon

[KatJ]

what if montero just irreparably broke joe blanton?

 

::snicker:: Unfortunately I don't think he'll be up for the 7th.

[Brian]

Addi has gone from completely lost to in the lead for NLCS MVP at the moment, probably

[Little Slide Rooter]

Christ, why? One good year hitting,

contract year of course, and Theo pays a king's ransom and eleventy billion years.

 

But... MR ADDY!!!!

 

Heyward had more than one good year hitting. He was signed as the mythical 5 tool beast. Sadly, he left his hitting tools in St. Louis.

[Gilby]

Thank God.

 

But anyway, if Joe can't trust Soler or Contreras in the outfield, you have to see if Almora can put together a few AB's. Heyward's bat has had much more of an impact than his glove. You can't just keep running him out there just because. And horsefeathers, Almora might be a better defender anyway.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I would have taken a hit up the middle but this is nice

That's why they pay him the big bucks.

[davell]

[imb]

if lester gets through 6, who pitches the 7th?

[Thusly Boned]

Shutdown inning here and I'm feeling really good.

[Andy]

Just get through this and go to the bullpen of doom

[chicagocubs04]

Rizzo....come on now
