10/26 World Series Game 2 CUBS (Arrieta) @ Cleveland (Bauer) 6:08pm CDT, Fox

What a performance by Monty

[raw]

Probably shouldn't have faced Napoli, but it's fine.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

who does Monty think he is Andrew Miller?

 

Andrew Miller reincarnation.

I didn't even know Andrew Miller was sick.

Smoltzy talking about how the Cubs approach comes and goes. "Today it's here, yesterday it's not." The Cubs stood around all night without taking the bats off their shoulders against Kluber and he just painted. He should've just talked about how the way to beat the Cubs is fill the strike zone with elite pitches.

[KatJ]

Blow the bullets past them, Chap.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I have always hated when people complain the baseball games are too long, but damn, playoff games are long.

A little help from the umpire helps too. Cubs still had guys in scoring opportunities yesterday despite all that.

[Billy_Buck]

I feel like I'm stuck in an elevator that isn't moving. Let's please not stretch this out any longer.

Smoltz is of the opinion that the Cubs are doing things right when they score, and wrong when they don't, and throws in words like "approach" to fill time when he has no idea how it makes the Cubs good, or what it actually means.

I still dislike Chapman in non clean non save situations

That's the beautiful thing about Smoltz, he just creates whatever narrative suits him.

[Brian]

wooo!

Same here. I would have liked Strop or CJ in to face Napoli and finish the 8th.

[KatJ]

And breathe.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I just heard some douches doing a "whoawhoawhoawhoa" hand on mouth indian sound thingy that I remember 3rd grader kids doing in the 80s. I seriously think its been since 1989 that I've heard that.

[Cubswin11]

Nice jump you big bastard

He's worse than Steve Stone. A lot worse.

For sure. Part of me wonders if he's such a dick that he just fucks around in runners on/multiple inning situations. Not really, but at the same time it wouldn't shock me.

[raw]

I liked Smoltz a lot as a pitcher. I hate that it has come to this.

For sure. Part of me wonders if he's such a dick that he just horsefeathers around in runners on/multiple inning situations. Not really, but at the same time it wouldn't shock me.

 

Was it game 5 vs the Dodgers where he "struggled" in the 9th? It was pretty clear he didn't give a horsefeathers because of the score.

[KatJ]

He's worse than Steve Stone. A lot worse.

 

Hey, don't diss Stoney. I learned *some* baseball listening to him. I'll never get why *anyone* slides into first on a close play, for example. :-)

Have they used all of their non-Miller and Allen relievers?

[Brian]

so much for being encouraged by that smash earlier

[Irrelevant Dude]

Give it up Joe. Schwarber is NOT playing the field.

[KatJ]

Poor Heyward.
