10/11 - NLDS Game 4 - Dusty's Gone Fishin' (A sickly Dickensian orphan) @ Corbs (The Bearded Bastard) 3:08 CST - TBS

[UMFan83]

Bryant has transformed back into the strikeout king

[TruffleShuffle]

Why are we so mad at Maddon right now?

 

Pulling Lester with 2 outs and a runner on first, not pulling Carl until 2 batters after it was clear he was bad Carl, letting his closer pitch to 2 extra batters in a 5 run game with Game 5 in 24 hours

 

probably a lot of that is kind of small stuff. when your best middle reliever completely loses it and nobody on your team can hit good pitching, you're going to struggle.

 

i'm pretty annoyed that dusty is probably sitting in the dugout thinking he's some kind of genius for pretending that roark was ever going to start this game.

[ScrubMD]

...so much for faith...huh?

Duensing was ready. Should've pulled him the moment the grand slam was hit.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Not one of Kris' best games.

[NotSoSober]

Worst game of the year for KB. Awful Awful ABs

[Wilson A2000]

Theo and Joe gotta get on the same page. Rondon was in good form headed into October and Theo put Wilson on the roster instead of Rondon. But Joe won't use Wilson and he could have used Rondon in the two games they lost. Better put Rondon on the roster if the Cubs make the NLCS.

[javy knows my name]

Guys Bryant ain't right. That's the second hanging curveball he's been LATE on

[Sammys Boombox]

I was pretty angry with Joe in Game 2. I don't understand the anger towards him this game.

[SpongeWorthy]

this has to be about as bad as we have hit over any 4 game stretch since we got good

[Soul]

It's like amazing to see a pitcher that's not Strasburg or Scherzer. Immediately we start making contact. We really got screwed in this series.

The rain giveth and it taketh away

[LeonDurham]

Rizzo is the only cub hitter who hasn’t been atrocious this series. They are lucky to be up in the series.

[UMFan83]

At least we made their 8th inning guy throw 20+ pitches before game 5. I'm sure they will go Gio-Scherzer and then like Strasburg to close it out though

[Wilson A2000]

KB had one swing today and it was the huge uppercut swing. But Strasburg pitched him really tough with some nasty changes in counts that are typically fastball counts.

[bjam12]

Still trying to figure out how Taylor hits a grandslam off our closer in these conditions. Ugh.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Calm down Lackey.

[LeonDurham]

Let’s take advantage of that horrible ball call and score like 8 runs.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Close out their season?

[Sammys Boombox]

Still trying to figure out how Taylor hits a grandslam off our closer in these conditions. Ugh.

 

He hit it hard, but I think the wind shifted. Next batter fouled one down the LF line that he didn't exactly crush and it went nearly HR distance.

[Wilson A2000]

Still trying to figure out how Taylor hits a grandslam off our closer in these conditions. Ugh.

 

Taylor has hit pretty well this series. Their best hitter right now.

[Thusly Boned]

this has to be about as bad as we have hit over any 4 game stretch since we got good

 

 

I agree, but this has a whole lot to do with Scherzer and Strasburg.

[TruffleShuffle]

also balls carry a lot farther this year for some reason that has absolutely nothing to do with major league baseball changing the way that the ball is made.

[TMan92]

Well we burned Madsen potentially for tomorrow but they get to bring Scherzer for an inning

[Thusly Boned]

Taylor has hit pretty well this series. Their best hitter right now.

 

And he does have pretty impressive raw power that he taps into from time to time. He's not a slap hitter by any means.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Well we burned Madsen potentially for tomorrow but they get to bring Scherzer for an inning

 

Probably more like 3 innings or until his hamstring gives out.
