10/1 GAME 163 Brewers (Chacin) @ Cubs (Q) 12:05p CST ESPN

[Thed Hoyerstein]

I like the brewers "hit grounders to javy" game plan

[UMFan83]

Pat’s definitely got a little more excitement in his voice for this one.

 

More than his call of the Cubs winning the World Series?

[David]

i don't know what i hate more between how bad the espn strikezone thing is or how bad the umps are

[UMFan83]

Screw you Murphy, I want 1.000 BA out of you because I dont like you

He finally sent out that last signed scorecard this morning and he feels GREAT.

[TMan92]

The obligatory missle to a Brewers outfielder

[UMFan83]

Ball is not carrying, that's for sure.

"I think advantage goes to the team that jumps out to a lead, or gets a decent lead here early in the game."

[BigSlick]

i thought i said that line outs were illegal

[David]

i can't remember anymore...does wild card still automatically get a lower seed (thus, no home field) vs a division winner or did they change it to doing it by record?

[TMan92]

When we hit balls up the middle a guy is standing there

[soccer10k]

Too many hard hit balls so far.

Automatically lower.

[BigSlick]

Solid contact off of Quintana is...concerning

[BigSlick]

On the other hand, I'll take a 7 pitch inning

[Burtonbell]

Solid contact off of Quintana is...concerning

 

Luckily some have been hit right at someone. He better start getting some K's to avoid any contact.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Time to score.

[Sammy Sofa]

Clerbs score points please.

[OleMissCub]

“Triple digits in home runs again”

 

I wish, Karl

Automatically lower.

 

i should've remembered that from the 2015 nlcs

We've been in so many playoff series lately that they all start to blend together.

 

(how weird is that to type about the Cubs?)

It might switch for the WS though that it’s just best record. So Yankees or As could have it or us over the Indians if we got the WC.

except I believe the World Series HFA is based purely on overall record. So this year the AL team will automatically have HFA in the World Series

[George Hayduke]

God these ESPN announcers are insufferable.

[UMFan83]

yeah nothing is carrying. It's time to actually use Chiliball
