10/29 World Series Game 4 Cleveland (Kluber) @ Cubs (Lackey) 7:08 CDT Fox

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Not saying it will happen, but the Cubs coming back from a 3-1 deficit to win the World Series does seem like the appropriate way to cap off this season and make the 30-for-30 even better.

Bet Crisp gets moved to 3rd in this at bat

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just giving so much away right now. I mean Kluber is good, but god [expletive] damn it, the kids are just swinging at everything

 

Perhaps they'd been playing over their heads?

 

You don't play over your head for 174 games.

[Thusly Boned]

And the team knows what is wrong. In the pregame they mentioned how last night the Cubs swung at the second most pitches outside of the zone they have all season, and that "team officials" were not happy. Half the team has just abandoned their plate discipline.

[UMFan83]

The Cubs picked an awful time for one of their worst played games of the year

[LeonDurham]

Well we know the Cubs wouldn't score here.

wtf was that grimm, lol

if you "play over your head" to the tune of 103 wins and a +252RD, that's not over your head, that's just who you are.

 

Then I don't want to see whoever these imposters are again.

[d_money]

Collapsed. horsefeathering Cubs.

[MarkR]

This is an implosion. So frustrating.

[Irrelevant Dude]

What a mess

[DurbanJer]

Go to hell Grimm

[imb]

hahah this is fun-bad territory at least. thank god i have work to do so it's just sad background self loathing right now

[BigSlick]

Here comes Wood with a barrel of gasoline for our Viking Funeral

All season? No way. WS? Yes. Folding under the pressure.

 

I tend to think more just going through bad slumps and pressing. But not sure it's because of the pressure. These dudes have done some big-time things in some huge pressure-packed games during this playoff run. Javy and Willson trying to play hero is a lot different than Javy and Willson being overcome by this stage.

[Andy]

I'm getting sad.

Yep. They are clearly just folding under pressure. Just like Kershaw did in game 6.

 

Maybe they will play better when down 3-1 and pressure is off.

I don't think it's even folding under the pressure as it is being unprepared for this particular opponent.

Like I said earlier, I love the pitching matchups the rest of the way. The offense of course needs to wake up.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ok yeah I'm definitely out. See you next Tuesday if they are still playing

[LeonDurham]

I've waited my entire life for this so I'm going to watch every last agonizing minute. Phuck me.

[weis21]

can we psychoanalyze after the game and just finish watching this one?

[BigbadB]

this is extremely painful to watch.

[Careless]

Ok, good night.
