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

[Transmogrified Tiger]

re: broadcasters, Smoltz is veering very, very close to Steve Stone territory, where everything is a simple problem to be solved by making a certain pitch and hitters are powerless in the face of a properly executed pitch(pitchers not doing so are "struggling"). Buck is fine, Smoltz is bad bad bad

[cubbyvirus00]

Not a strike

[DurbanJer]

I'd lose my horsefeathers if i was sitting next to Andre Dawson

Man what a terrible idea sending Lackey back out there

 

even if you pull him early, we're probably going to lose this game. if we have to win 3 in a row, we're going to need a rested bullpen.

 

Mr. Red-Ass is an easy scapegoat, but pitching hasn't been the issue this entire series

 

huh?

[Careless]

That was a strike, Contreras. STFU

[Derwood]

Oh NOW that's a strike

It doesn't really take a certain pitch right now. The Cubs would be fouling off BP fastballs

[cubbyvirus00]

Kluber is the WS MVP thus far

[DurbanJer]

God, Smoltz. Just shut up

[nobull]

It was a great year though

THE JASON HEYWARD GAME

[Cubswin11]

Heyward is alive

[cubbyvirus00]

Smoltz slobbing the Indians some more

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Get some people on base for Heyward. Jeez.

[raw]

So cruel that the only person that can hit now is Heyward

This is less about anything he's said tonight and more about his complete inability to see beyond the scope of his playing position. It's like geocentrism for broadcasters.

[LeonDurham]

What the horsefeathers javy.

[davell]

Yes, let's talk about Cleveland bandwagon fans, since they were 28th in MLB attendance this year.

[Mike Francesa]

I stopped listening to the announcers sometime during the Dodger series iirc. Like TT said, Buck is tolerable, but Smoltz is just painful. How he has this spot is beyond me.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Heyward more World Series hits than Bryant.

[cubbyvirus00]

FFS BAEZ

[Cubswin11]

FFS Javy

[Thusly Boned]

No reason to throw Baez a strike at this point.

[Butterscup]

bench him.

[weis21]

bryant and baez are legit breaking my heart right now : (
