And the guy brought in as a defensive replacement... commits an error allowing a run to score!

giolito trade justified

[ConstableRabbit]

In fairness he gave up a Dong then walked the tying run his last two batters. I don’t think it was overly wrong to have the quick hook.

2 hits. Total. It was worse than Maddon pulling Hendricks.

Ehhh, it wasn’t worse than the Maddon-Hendricks move.

*whispers*

The Maddon-Hendricks move wasn't a bad move.

Delicious. LET THE BOOS SHOWER DOWN.

[Derwood]

Tough for Hinch to make good bullpen moves when his entire pen crapped the bed on the same night

it was when you consider the state of the bullpen and chapman

I demand sad faces from the Fox cameras!

[Brian]

hopefully we will get articles this offseason shaming the Astros for their dynasty ending before it began

[Cubswin11]

My other favorite player to watch this playoff besides Soto, what an animal, was that dude Trea Turner. Badass walk there....That's the kind of PA I like to imagine Cubs prospects are learning to give...Or at least one guy who can end the leadoff speculation

I think Hoerner can be a version of Turner, as an upper end outcome honestly. Their minor league numbers aren’t all that different.

Yeah Hendricks was taken out in the 5th for one thing - put me down for not that big a deal.

[The_Achiever]

So much going on. How do you not get Cole in the game?!

[Bertz]

Underrated cool dude on this Nats team of cool dudes is Daniel Hudson, whose chapter in The Arm is fantastic

The Cubs needed Chapman + the entire rest of the pen to get 5 outs. I don't think anyone expected him to give up two runs.

[chopsx9]

I know he's not going to win it but man was that a baller performance by Corbin I'd think about giving him some MVP votes.

non-story. the astros bullpen has been great all year. Good job smoltz shutting this non-story down. Does anyone do more than Joe Buck to make baseball unappealing to anyone under 70?

Vive Les Expos!

Vive Les Expos!

Vive Les Expos!

Davey Martinez looks drunk already.

Suck it Astros.

CIndy has been hitting up his phone the last 2 innings.

[Cubfanintheknow]

Happy for the Nats. Now going to watch Cubs 2016 highlights and cry myself to sleep.

I’m sure it will be debated as if putting in Cole would have automatically shut the Nats down.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I am not happy the Nationals won. I am happy the Astros lost. horsefeathers them both.

If the Astros had scored anymore runs...maybe.

[Old Style]

CHA-CHING!

The guy who gave up 4 runs in 6 innings in Game 4 isn't getting any MVP votes, nor should he. Strasburg was better.
