If Kluber can step it up a notch and strike out the side in order for the first 4 innings, more power to him. I think it unlikely. GO CUBS!
-
Napoli-less lineup tonight, Santana at 1B. So tonight's the night the Cubs probably pepper LF with chances, and Davis makes a few running catches that Santana couldn't hope to make. /s

They say it's a game of inches. Game 3, and the Series thus far, in microcosm: Cubs LH PH with RISP = "lined out sharply" to RF. 0 runs. Indians LH PH with RISP = broken bat "RBI single" to RF. AB coming after baserrunner avoids pick off by a fingertip or two. 1 run. Indians ace goes on short rest tonight. Hopefully his fastball is a couple inches shorter, curve flattens out a hair, two steamer doesnt bite back toward the plate quite as fiercely. They say it's a game of inches. Cubs are still very much in this. Let's catch a break or two, shall we? GO CUBS!

Need more coffee.

Now Monday is going to be dreadful, no matter what happens :x

Joe talking a lot about "getting our zones back" in his presser, talking about need to make adjustments. They're aware of it too. But obviously, the Indians have some good arms that helped get them to the Series. Must be hell to pick up the breaking stuff. Can't believe anyone would call this over. I'm confident the Cubs' pitch recognition will get better, especially as they start going on short rest, etc.

Yeah, I'm resigned now that LCS co-MVP Javy has helped bring back old Javy. That said, it was only 1-0. They executed. Cubs didn't. Kluber on short rest and a worked bullpen tomorrow, hopefully our luck changes.
-
I'll take it! Move him along, move him along. Or just hit it out. Whatever. NO OUTS!
-
In a 1-0 game with the wind blowing out, that was started by Josh Tomlin? It's just crazy enough to work!
-
I'll take a Joe Carter lite, please
-
As you go, we go...
-
you were sayin? well, that's one for and like seven against us. My hope was that by observing it and calling it, it would revert to the mean. So.. it's a start.

How many guys charge full-speed out of the box on a ball they think is slicing halfway up the first level?
-
Awful awful awful BABIP luck in this one
-
Sure hands boys!

Throw the flag

Oh fudge

I think the stage is set for a "Well, I knew from game 1 that Miller was going to throw me a [pitch hit for a homerun] there, and I just got a solid swing on it" post-game interview.
-
Working from top of the order now, too.
-
Well struck. Dang.
-
Wait. Simultaneously pulling Tomlin and getting Santana's bat out? I'll take it at this point.
-
Or at even to hold it there, and then pierce his invincibility and take the lead.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF GRIMM!

I'll take a double shot of "let's get out of this" with an "overcoming adversity" chaser.
