Cubs(Holland) @ Cardinals(Flaherty) 2:15 TV:ABC7

[Schwarber Fan]

I cannot wait until Tommy Edman is irrelevant.

Look, 99% of "clutch" arguments are dumb, but this one is pretty amazingly dumb because you are talking about a group of players that came back from down 3-1 in the World Series to win one of the most epic game 7s of all time.

 

Dumb would be thinking 1 season cancels out the other 4 where they showed their true tendencies. 2016 was out of the ordinary. I’ll rely on 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019 to make decisions on who stays and who goes. But go ahead and keep thinking that the same guys will magically be able to hit when it counts :roll:

You mean like two of those seasons they made the NLCS, won a WC game, won a division, led MLB in wins, won a Game 5 on the road in the DS and were the best second half team in baseball for a good chunk of those years?

 

No, no; let him drill down on this. I'm dying to know who he wants gone.

Idiot.

 

How come you didn’t post highlights against the Mets in the NLCS, idiot?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It's bad enough when you get "If you don't win a championship, you're unclutch" mouthbreathers.

 

how did we get one who thinks you have to win the WS every year?

Well, I want them all traded because I'm bored and it would entertain me for like five minutes.

So what you're saying is the only time clutchiness matters is when they lose. When they win that has nothing to do with their clutchiness. As long as we're clear on that.

Failed miserably against the Mets who the Royals handled. Failed miserably against the Dodgers who the Astros didn’t have a problem hitting. Not to mention the miserable failures against the Brewers pitching the last 2 seasons. But if you are too blind to see this team can’t hit good pitching and inflates their numbers against trash pitching, I can’t help you.

[Derwood]

You can't help us because you don't have the numbers to support your claim

[NWICubsFan]

I don’t need numbers. Results tell me all I need to know.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don’t need numbers. Results tell me all I need to know.

 

And the only results that matter are winning the World Series every year and never, ever losing a playoff series.

 

Could you give me an example of a team you think *is* clutch?

[Sammy Sofa]

So apparently 90% of the pitching around baseball is trash, except for the 2015 Mets, the 2017 Dodgers, and the Brewers the last 2 seasons.

 

Intriguing theory.

[UMFan83]

Ben Zobrist is pitching in what might be his last innings of his career

 

Edit: he struck out Yadi to end the inning, finally securing his place in Cubs lore

[sweetpeteman]

Looks like that was his first pitching appearance ever too.

 

If it is the end, that's a funny way to go out.

Loved how he shook off the catcher before the strikeout!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Says fans of every team ever.

[Cubswin11]

You have to go as far back as *checks notes* 4 weeks ago when they went in to NY and put up like 20 runs on Syndergaard, Degrom and Stroman to disprove this theory.
