10/17 - NLCS Game 3 - dodgers (Darvish) @ World Champs (Prof. Hendricks) - 8:00

Despite logically understanding exactly why the schedule is why it is, I'm still irrationally annoyed that the games in Chicago start LATER than the ones in LA

Yep.

 

on that note i'm taking an hour long nap. god help me in a decade when i'm 45. i will just have to wake up in the morning and watch highlights and take a nap after watching them i think

[Sammy Sofa]

I just don't think righting the ship is actually a thing. They'll either hit tonight or they won't and I think the fact that they haven't hit well the past 7 or 8 games has little to no bearing or reflection on that.

 

Eh, we just disagree. Call it meatball-y all you want; I think enough of a lineup can press/panic/get frustrated and it can impact them detrimentally. In the scope of a full season, yeah, not a big deal, but in the sample size of a short series it can hurt. It just happens sometimes; it's the terrible beauty of baseball.

 

It is also, like we've both essentially said, something that they can snap out of from one game to the next. Hopefully we see that tonight.

so, basically, baseball will be played and things will happen.

 

which is essentially what david said

 

He doesn't think hot/cold streaks are a thing. I disagree.

OK? My point is still that it's going to be equally not surprising if they don't do a damn thing tonight or if they score 10. It's not some crazy leap to worry that their beyond the pale offensive struggles can continue for just 2 more games when they're still facing pitchers who can most charitably be described as "maybe less good."

 

You mean like the 2015 Cubs in the NLCS? This team has not hit well in the postseason. We did just enough to get by Washington. Bryzzo is 1-14 in this series and Baez is swinging at dirt balls and birds.

 

We've got to win tonight (actually, I thought Game 2 was a must win). Our bats are certainly capable of breaking out at our home park, but this postseason sample size (so far) does little to give me great confidence that the Cubs can pull this out.

 

Given that, I am not worried. I believe we will pass the test tonight.

 

You...realize they got shut out two games in a row by the Dodgers in the 2016 NLCS right? By Kershaw and Rich Hill?

 

Yes, and you....realize they rebounded and won the series to win the Pennant?

You referenced the 2015 series where we got swept. I assumed your argument was that the bats weren't coming back. I was showing a more recent example where they did come back and ended up winning. Maybe I misread what you were trying to say.

Try to stop being the Cobs and be the world champs. Stop being losers please.

[TMan92]

Hey Cubs....The Yankees figured it out. Your turn now.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Kyle's got this. 7 shutout innings. The dongs return. Super Cubs will be back.

ONE thing about being unemployed/underemployed: usually getting enough sleep is not a problem.

[Derwood]

Whereas I usually have to fight hard not to fall asleep during these games

[squally1313]

These guys haven’t been home since Thursday. Refreshed, back on their routine, in the confines. Fans need to stay loud. With the wind there’s a chance we go down early...it won’t last. Take care of business and we’ll be in the drivers seat to make it 2-2, and make kershaw revisit last year.

[Derwood]

Flip your bat at THAT, Puig

[Schwarber Fan]

Puig is such a clown.

[Cubswin11]

Haha, F U Puig

[Billy_Buck]

Baseball seems much easier when you can get the other guys out

[KatJ]

That’s real “smart” of Turner and Puig whining to the umpire about balls and strikes.

 

Puig is a real hot dog. Kinda reminds me of Reggie Jackson.

[minnesotacubsfan]

FU PUIG
