[We Got The Whole 9]

Holy crap Willy, you could've rolled it there

[Cubswin11]

That ended up being stupid. At least we won.

[NOLA]

Well, that's the most tense I've been watching baseball since Game 7.

[ConstableRabbit]

Kaplan just said he'd punch Contreras in the face.

nice win. now 3 chances to split a really tough road series.

[Perd]

After they won the Series, I thought I wouldn't be as nervous during situations like that. Nope.

[BigSlick]

very glad i missed this game bc it woulda made me mad but checking the score after is making me happy

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Get this ninny talk out of here. Sweep.

WTF?

yeah, but that's good. it means the world series didn't make cubs baseball. the season after the blackhawks won their first cup, i found it really hard to be invested. i haven't really felt that way about the cubs at all.

Yeah that was a mini-mini-mini WS Game 7 replica. I enjoyed it, hated it, dreaded it, relief.

Willson why

 

did he almost throw it away? mlb.tv wasn't working, so i was watching on gameday. it said "swinging strike (blocked)" and then took forever to update to final. it was terrifying

[d_money]

Meanwhile, Butler goes to 4-2

I think it was a 98 mph sinker at the shoe tops

Assuming the Cubs pass the vaunted Brewers this will be a nice NLDS matchup. Dusty keep letting your starters pitch 985 pitches a start between now and October then bring your shitty bullpen. Bryce can watch in awe as the Cubs eliminate the Nats in 4 at Wrigley while thinking about 2019 in a Cubs uniform

Statcast had Javy traveling 132 feet to make the catch in the 8th. Said it was the longest distance traveled by a SS since 2015. The catch Russell had against the Pirates last year, he only went 107.

1 intentional but yep. He has a really good eye and approach vs LHP.
