4/10: Dodgers (Alex "not Rich Hill" Wood) @ World Champeen Cubs (Lester the Dodger Molester) 7:05PM CST on ESPN

Guess being walked off by Jay or TLS wasn't worth bringing out out Jansen.

[Bote McBoteface]

Dog took a monster dump on the floor so that was pretty cool. Let's end this thing.

 

That sig is real obnoxious.

[We Got The Whole 9]

He can't touch Jansen

[Gilby]

Mmm, I like Wade Davis. I sort of feel like he throws too many cutters though. (like I know what I'm talking about)

 

When he's on the cutter is unhittable and he doesn't need another pitch.

 

Also looking at the pitch values on fangraphs, it appears to be a great pitch. Don't mind me.

[Brian]

WOOOOOHHOOOOO RIZZZZOOOOOOOO

[Cubswin11]

Yes!!!

[SpongeWorthy]

WEEEEEEEE

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Fly the W!

[soccer10k]

RIZZO!

[NotSoSober]

Rizzo saving that first RBI for this game. Beautiful, champ!

[Sammys Boombox]

RIZZ!

 

I can't believe they didn't walk one of KB or Rizzo.

[17 Seconds]

i don't want to be a meatball, bust seriously, how many power hitters do that

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Just like the horsefeathers playoffs.

[Bote McBoteface]

Hah, thanks for not walking Rizzo, idiots. I'da walked em loaded and not even thought twice about it.

Don't feel too bad. I watch the Royals almost as much as the Cubs.

[Buster]

Rizzzzz

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I know others have said it......but why do you pitch to both KB and Rizzo? That's just stupid.

[ScrubMD]

Roberts is probably so embarrassed he used Jansen there.

[Omar]

Haha. Glad I stayed awake for that one.

 

Time for the Tynelenol PM to kick in.

[EricG]

Cubs win!!!

Walking off the Dodgers never gets old!

Doesn't he kinda have a few variants of the Cutter too? Yes it gets classified as an overall Cutter but he'll change speeds on it a bit and sometimes make it move more laterally (cut more) or vertically (drop more)? So it's one pitch but has 2-4 different versions of it?

[SpongeWorthy]

Pitchers didn't really locate well and we didn't put many good swings on the ball and we still win

Yeah. It's not the same movement each time he throws it. Looking forward to listening to Len and JD talk about it because all Rex Hudler did during Royals broadcasts was try really hard to come up with stupid catch phrases. "Wader, check please!"

[Aaron_Kennelly]

if Dave Roberts, proud owner of 'babby's first manager job', can figure out to use the closer on the road in 9th+ inning ties, I'm only gonna get more irritated when Joe doesn't

 

Instead he did my favorite managerial move: ""I'll use my closer in the 9th in a tie game, but not until I place him in a situation that is near impossible to escape."
