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

[raw]

Heyward's season should be relegated to late inning defense. I'd rather just let Montero and Ross catch and put Contreras in the OF every day from here on out.

Lester has been better tonight at the plate

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm not even mad at Heyward anymore. He just looks like he needs a hug.

[davell]

Almora isn't much of a downgrade from Jason right?

 

Neither is Stevie Wonder

[Butterscup]

yeah its time to just bench him. use him 7th-9th for D. hope he loads up on some HGH in the offseason and becomes useful.

[UMFan83]

do you have to use the DH on the pitcher?

 

You do not

 

Actually I'm pretty sure you do

[minnesotacubsfan]

Whatever is in that mans head needs to be bleeched out

[Derwood]

Just finally caught up on the DVR.

 

Besides Heyward's badness, the thing I've noticed the most this game is that the Dodgers call time out SO EFFING MUCH. Maeda stepped off the rubber SO MANY TIMES, and the hitters do it all the time too. It's so annoying.

 

Also, *points to sig*

[Gilby]

The whole point of Almora is defense. Why the horsefeathers does Joe not trust him to do that. You can't be scared of removing Heyward there.

[Irrelevant Dude]

He must only be used as a defensive replacement the rest of the post-season. He can never start again.

Yep, and you have to think he would completely understand, and maybe even be relieved.

[UMFan83]

And honestly how many defensive plays has Jason had to make in the playoffs? The only thing I can think of is the throw home in the last game and the throw was horsefeathering awful

[Gmoney08]

Idk if ive ever seen a once decent hitter this lost in his prime.

[muntjack]

ok. Does ANYONE think Heyward should start going forward? I mean, I'd rather see Jose Macias dig in at this point.

[Schwarber Fan]

He was out!!

[UMFan83]

Dammit to hell

[ScrubMD]

OUT!

[Schwarber Fan]

Here we go. Can they overturn that?

[Brian]

OUT!!!!!

[bcl412]

I think he's out

[Hawk4Hall]

Baez is so awesome. He's out.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Out!

[d_money]

Terrible terrible terrible terrible.

 

7 more year

I have to ask...are you Asian?

A leader would bench himself.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Out????
