Dusty: "This has been my most productive lineup"

 

Then why did you wait for Game 4 to use it?

 

Even if it mattered, which it doesn't, what are the odds that is statistically correct?

In one sense it is, that was the everyday lineup during the first half when they were killing the ball. Of course, it's the same 8 guys he's been playing, so he's implying that they'll be more productive with Werth getting more PA's for some reason.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

any figures on the number of DONGS and dingers during bp today?

[javy knows my name]

Good thing that was Jayson Werth and not a professional major league hitter.

 

Jake is leaving everything up it looks like

[SpongeWorthy]

16 fastballs to start

[SpongeWorthy]

how did that stay up lol

[Cubswin11]

Pound this punk

[Agony and Ivy]

16 fastballs to start

 

I love it. They're not going to take you deep so establish the fastball early and then start throwing the offspeed stuff second time through. I wouldn't mind if he went 100% fastballs to all of the first 9

Against everyone except maybe Harper, he needs to attack the strike zone. Everything in the air is just going to die, keep the pitch count down and don't give out any free passes (controlling the running game is trickier on a day like this).

 

Complex analysis, I know.

[minnesotacubsfan]

lay off the low crack kb

[We Got The Whole 9]

Why the hell you swinging at that 3-1, Rizz?

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers at bat from Rizzo there, going horsefeathering Javy on the 3-1 pitch

[Schwarber Fan]

So Stras is fine, apparently. horsefeathers Dusty.

[LeonDurham]

wish Roark were pitching.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Strasburg didn't have great command there but Bryant and Rizzo were expanding.

[raw]

Gonna be awesome when the team that just needed to beat Strasburg and Scherzer 1 time beat them all 3 times.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

ballgame

[SpongeWorthy]

dennis farina isn't dead he is texting under that little red umbrella

[We Got The Whole 9]

Beautiful curve

[Sammy Sofa]

So Stras is fine, apparently. horsefeathers Dusty.

 

Hahahahahaah!

[minnesotacubsfan]

it would be real great if jake could find his command

[raw]

I know they had decent seasons, but it makes me irrationally upset when Turner, Wieters, or Taylor get a hit, or get on base, or make the pitcher throw more than 3 pitches.

[javy knows my name]

There's a big difference between attacking the strike zone on a favorable day and whatever the horsefeathers that pitch to Taylor was.

 

I think we'll be fine, but neither of them have command of anything, it looks like

[Derwood]

Zobrist is awesome and we always loved him
