Smoltz is pretty damn good at his analyst job

man, absolutely nothing out of bryant, baez, heyward (lol) and russell this series. You can't win with four auto outs.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Let's keep Heyward in plz

[Derwood]

Ok that's why you keep Heyward in

[Careless]

Interesting technique, Heyward.

[bcl412]

Nice catch

[DurbanJer]

the anti-Alou play

[cubbyvirus00]

Ok that was awesome

[LeonDurham]

Bauer with a better AB than any cub not named rizzo and Zobrist right now.

nah

[Schwarber Fan]

We've made 3 miraculous defensive plays. Let's win his horsefeathering game.

Everyone has been an auto out at Wrigley it seems.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Soler catches that too.

Russell

[Irrelevant Dude]

If the lead gets any bigger you have to considering pulling Heyward and or Baez for offense. Bring in Contreras and or Coghlan. No horsefeathering around with auto outs

When I started posting this, I wasn't serious at all, but now I'm wondering if it's so crazy that it may actually work. How about putting Schwarber in deep CF and tell him not to move, then play Fowler and Heyward in Left-Center and Right-Center. Yeah, I know it's stupid and over reactionary, but we've seen crazy things from Joe before.

Not even remotely.

 

I think they should put ARod up there.

How about the guy who got a solid single up the middle?

it's almost as though you're not actually listening to anything he says

[Gmoney08]

Im the biggest Javy fan there is but hes not using his head right now.

It is really frustrating watching us watch so many hittable pitches. And then we swing at balls. Maybe we should bunt to try to get on like zobrist did.

It must be a hard thing to fix if they're still flailing wildly at garbage. It's not like they don't know what the problem is.

 

Bad timing for a mental breakdown, really.

Baseball is happening. We are in a slump and cleveland has good pitchers. This is a stupid sport.

Why the hell can't a team as good as the Cubs make other teams look completely hopeless? We're eight games better than the Indians and they haven't broken a sweat the entire playoffs. In all three series, the Cubs have struggled in certain portions.

 

(The answer is baseball).

[bcl412]

I am not sure I've ever seen anyone elevate over one of those walls to make a catch at Wrigley before. Not that heyward did that but still.

[soccer10k]

Kyle-esque comment: if the Cubs lose tonight they will have ended their playoff season with the other team celebrating on our field in 5 of our last 6 playoff appearances

 

And a 3-game losing streak.

Have the indians really faced as many tought pitchers as we have?
