this was a cool game and doubly cool for letting kris do something dramatic

 

even Javy's hit was eerily similar to the game winning hit in the Giants series last year

Cubs Win! :flythew: Great win tonight! Glad to see some emotion from KB for once!

 

So, I should have said that first before going on a "Don't Want W. Davis Back" rant lol. I'm glad we have him, but I have very little trust in W. Davis right now.

 

I'm going to the game on Sunday. Hopefully, Quintana is dealing and the Cubs go for the sweep against the brewcrew.

Shout out to Javy, too. We were dead in the water and he got a huge hit with 2 strikes. KB's was the difference. But still 0 outs there. Decent chance we're scoring anyway. Don't want to take anything away from his clutchiness. But that was something a younger Javy isn't doing.

 

I'm telling you Duke -- Javy is improving at the plate slowly but surely. It also helps that shitty pitchers still challenge him with a fastball for no good reason!

Can anyone imagine this bullpen without Wade Davis? I know this FO hasn't been big on paying top money for a closer, but they need to spend whatever it takes to keep him here.

 

No, we don't dude. I don't want to bring W. Davis back just like I didn't want to bring Chapman back after I saw his performance in the playoffs last year. Honestly, W. Davis will probably get a 4-yr deal for $60-70 million and I want no part of that. No thanks lol. I'm glad we got something useful for Soler. Davis has looked really shaky at times and his velocity isn't really elite anymore.

Somehow I don't think there will be a lot of elite "trending up" closers on the market. Also, the big trade chips are gone, so trading for a very good young closer is no longer an option. Davis has looked shaky at times, as almost all closers do, but he has been very good all season. He may not be at his peak prime, but if he still has 2+ years of slightly below prime left then he is worth the money.

Not to sound like a prick, but we should all donate regardless of what Javy does or doesn't do at the plate...

 

The situation in Puerto Rico sounds pretty brutal right now and they might be without power for a few months! It's a really bad situation and I hope they get a ton of relief/charitable donations.

FYI, the Brewers broadcast showed a Brewers fan yelling, "It's over, we got this!" the pitch before Javy tied it in the 9th.

 

i get so much value out of mlb.tv, it's insane

Remember when people wanted to trade Wade Davis earlier this year? lol

 

Remember when people were upset about trading Soler for him?

 

i think that was mostly just david

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was multiple people. But could be wrong.

I was hoping to trade Soler last July!
