Cubs-Padres Game Three Thread: Sudden Death Baseball

[soccer10k]

That hurts. Glad we got 2 but really could have used a sac fly there.

[chibears55]

Fukkkk

[Rex Buckingham]

really wish we could have gotten 1 more, but I'll take 2 and already being into the pen

[Jason Ross]

Could have had more but I'm going to take 2 runs, Estrada already down 18 pitches and it's not the 3rd inning yet. 

[UMFan83]

That was hit so slow I thought Busch could beat it out but it wasn't even really close

[Hortonhearsawho]

Damn it we let them off the hook in that inning.

[Max Power]

Should’ve got more.

 

Shaw does that it’s a run.

[Old Style]

Two runs was not enough there.

hmmm if Matt Shaw does anything except strike out I'd be pleasantly surprised

How did that work for you?

No way, especially with his defensive improvements. Can’t give up on the bat yet. 

[ILMindState]

Ugh left some meat on the bone

[muntjack]

Please don't come back to bite us.  

[UMFan83]

If the Cubs end up losing that liner down the RF line is going to haunt me.  I thought that was going to be fair off the bat and clear the bases.

[Wilson A2000]

That looked like a pitch clock violation

The 2nd inning is probably going to be our best chance at scoring runs in this game. 

I did call this though.

[chibears55]

Big inning here for Taillon, can't let them score

[SparkMark1]

Need a quick shutdown inning here

[BigSlick]

Getting just two isn’t ideal but listen it’s the playoffs. Glad we got into their bullpen in the 2nd inning

You really ready to roll Bruján back out there?

Shaw does that it’s a run.

What was the IF alignment for Shaw's AB?  that might have gotten through with 0 outs if the IF was playing in.

[muntjack]

More important than ever to grind some long PAs and destroy their pen.

Shut up stupid

[s2obed]

Good news is that the Padres are already into their pen. It’s a strong one but they will have tired guys.
