10/25 World Series Game 1: Cubs (Lester) vs Indians (Kluber) 7 p.m., FOX

[LeonDurham]

Why does maddon love Grimm so much.

[badger]

May not matter if Grimm can't be good grimm

[LeonDurham]

Is Rondon dead or something?

[soccer10k]

Its a long series, and the rest of their staff ain't Kluber

 

Yeah, we're going to forget this game when we're up 2-1 going into Saturday and they're throwing Kluber on short rest.

[Bigloubaby]

Just so I have this right. Swing on 2 strike counts against Kluber. Take on 2 strike counts against Miller.

 

Got it.

[PackLandVA]

Schwarber game tying HR in the 9th ... you heard it here first.

 

I don't believe this is even possible unless both teams score a few more runs.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I can't tell if I love that Joe spins through similar relievers so quickly so they're all fresh later, or if I hate that he didn't just let Strop finish the job this inning.

[DurbanJer]

Ok, tie it up in the 8th. Win it the 9th.

[jumbo]

Javy horsefeathering with Lindor, gotta love it

[USSoccer]

$20 says meatballs complain about that Javy/Lindor clip tomorrow assuming the score holds

[Thusly Boned]

 

LOL, right?! I'm gonna feel like a [expletive] fool if I bawled my eyes out Sat, only to have the guys go down as quietly as they did against the Mutts last year.

Its a long series, and the rest of their staff ain't Kluber

The rest of their staff ain't Lackey

 

Lackey is better than all of their other rostered starters (except Salazar, who will only get 4-5 innings this series, tops).

[badger]

At least Javy gives me joy.

[LeonDurham]

Let miller come out. The more looks at him the better.

[SheffieldBoy]

I can't tell if I love that Joe spins through similar relievers so quickly so they're all fresh later, or if I hate that he didn't just let Strop finish the job this inning.

 

Pat Hughes and Ron K on the Score said that Maddon wants to get as many cubs players in his gamr as possible so they have a chance to experience what its like playing a world series game. Makes sense.

[Gilby]

Why was Lindor an .800+ OPS guy right out of the gate

[USSoccer]

Dammit I thought that was over his head

[DurbanJer]

dammit.

[ScrubMD]

They don't look completely helpless against Miller, at least.

[DurbanJer]

get the runners on for Schwarbs!

[jumbo]

Nice Bryant

[Thusly Boned]

They don't look completely helpless against Miller, at least.

 

No, outside of Russell, they've looked pretty good against him.

[Brian]

facial hair is fine, but trim your mustache creep

[USSoccer]

Davis needs to stop making me think he's not getting to those shallow fly balls

[NotSoSober]

Let that gutless choker guy back for games 2,3,4 and 5

[LeonDurham]

Well at the very least the whole team has seen Miller and hasn't looked terrible.
