9/30 Marlins (Alcantara) at Cubs (Hendricks) 1:00 CT ABC

[Sammy Sofa]

kinda amped for another rebuild, hell ya let's go

 

Maybe this is all a subtle protest against the Ricketts, and the Cubs will be terminally dog horsefeathers until they sell.

[Irrelevant Dude]

So many weak pop outs.

[abuck1220]

Not sure we will score 4 more runs the rest of this series.

 

they'll get at least two on two meaningless hrs in the bottom of the 9th in both games.

[UMFan83]

Marlins exit velocities last inning:

 

45.6

102.2

102.7

105.4

104.0

97.7

107.7

 

The ones over 100 mph were the 5 hardest hit balls in the game so far.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

You guys playing cards?

Vic horsefeathering sucks

[Irrelevant Dude]

Vic horsefeathering sucks

He is a perfectly adequate backup catcher, but certainly not a DH.

[17 Seconds]

maybe we should have started our best pitcher in game 1 of the playoffs

[Schwarber Fan]

Can anyone explain why Jeffress was used when he was?

[UMFan83]

Love KB getting the product placement in and chugging a Red Bull as he walks by the dugout camera. Get that can on the air while you can Kris.

[abuck1220]

gotta say, i have not enjoyed the cubs late 2018-2020 offensive strategy of taking a bunch of pitches down the middle, striking out a ton and flying out to the first part of the warning track.

[abuck1220]

see ross, that's what you should have done with your starting pitcher.

[soccer10k]

Because Ross rolled his version of Dusty’s Dice and Jeffress’s name came up.

we have an organizaiton that emphasizes discipline and a roster full of guys who can't tell balls from strikes.

 

this is what it looks like when you try to brute force patience instead of actually building an offense with patient hitters

[17 Seconds]

sucks they won't be able to get booed off the field this year

That is your take away from this? 6 scoreless innings from Hendricks wasn't good enough? They are both starting a game one way or another.

yu may have pitched 7 scoreless, because he is better. also doesn't yu starting game 2 mean he wouldn't have been able to start the nlds until game 2?

 

it doesn't really matter, but there was absolutely no reason for it. it's a stupid ass galaxy brain move by ross.

 

if you have a cy young winner and he's rested and healthy, you start him first.

Nope. There’s enough time off that he could start Game 1 on normal rest.

 

That being said, he should have started today.

This is dumb. Going with Hendricks was fine. He was on 7 day’s rest already too. Yu gets an extra day of rest going tomorrow. Hendricks has an awesome playoff resume and pitching in Wrigley. The Game 1/2 starters of this series can’t go until Game 2/3 of the DS if they’re on normal rest. So that really isn’t a huge deal. They’re only getting 1 DS start anyways. This is on the offense and Ross being a moron letting Hendricks out there in the 7th, imo.

None this matters if the Cubs didnt have the absolute worst offense I've ever seen from a playoff team ever.

true, but i can't think of one single reason not to start darvish in game one. seems like a dumb manager trying to be smart. reminds me of joe, actually.

[abuck1220]

of all the ross horsefeathers ups, the order and specific manner in which he chose to lose this series isn't really too high on the list.
