10/28 World Series Game 3 Cleveland (Tomlin) @ CUBS (Hendricks) 7:08 CDT, Fox

[cubbyvirus00]

These fuckin guys aren't swinging at strikes

[davell]

DO IT MIGGY

[KatJ]

I am so done with these horsefeathering choppers off the Cubs' bats.

[Derwood]

Miller time, ugh

[Careless]

Wow. 58 pitches of two hit ball and he's pulled.

[NotSoSober]

Almora/Heyward needs to pinch run for Soler

[bcl412]

I don't think burning Miller is a good idea honestly. Leaves Schwarber for a very good chance late in the game plus now Santana is out.

[cubbyvirus00]

Bad move by Franconia IMO

[raw]

Montero?!?

 

It's the correct move. Make them bring Miller in and not use our best hitter with 2 outs when it's not likely to score anyway.

[Rob]

Did I just hear right that they're pulling Carlos Santana out of the game?

 

I hope that's the case. He scares me more than anybody on that roster.

[Thusly Boned]

Tomlin keeping his breaking ball down was the only way he was making it out of this unscathed, and that's what he has done. Very little to elevate.

[bcl412]

I still think Schwarber is walking this one off.

[halplm]

I'm not afraid of miller, especially in a tie game... let him pitch 3 innings, see how you do tomorrow after you lose this one

[JonJayCutler]

Let's please make sure Miller can't backup Kluber tomorrow.

[USSoccer]

The Cubs were getting really good looks off Miller in game 1. I'm okay with this, since they were not seeing Tomlin very well.

[raw]

Wow. 58 pitches of two hit ball and he's pulled.

 

He's gotta pitch again in 3 days. It's fine from the Indians perspective.

[gobigred]

miller will pitch 6th and 7th now too...lets get one somehow ...

[Thusly Boned]

Did I just hear right that they're pulling Carlos Santana out of the game?

 

I hope that's the case. He scares me more than anybody on that roster.

 

Nope, Lindor. By a mile.

[Billy_Buck]

Wait. Simultaneously pulling Tomlin and getting Santana's bat out? I'll take it at this point.

[UMFan83]

Someone explain to me this sequence. Tomlin has reverse splits and is pretty much cruising. Tito knows that Maddon is saving Schwarber for when Miller is out of the game. But somehow the sight of lefty Miguel Montero is enough to get Miller in the game, when we know Maddon will most likely bring a righty up to PH or if he doesn't at least he has Schwarber looming with no Miller the rest of the game.

 

I'm confused here

 

Edit: oh yeah and he takes out one of his 3 best hitters

Since Tomlin was somehow unhittable, this works for me.

[Bull]

Miller time, ugh

Bait.

 

Get a solid tomlin out and Miller is not available for Schwarber in the 9th.

[bcl412]

A Montero hit here is so improbable that it will happen.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I kinda feel like you go to Almora here, but I don't feel all that strongly about it. Seems like we're hoping for a walk with Montero and that Fowler can capitalize.

[Derwood]

Wow. 58 pitches of two hit ball and he's pulled.

This series isn't getting to Tomlin again
