  1. Heyward's defense has yet to be a factor in a single playoff game this year. I'm just not convinced that it makes a lot of sense to use corner outfield defense as the primary factor in lineup creation for an individual game. There is a good chance that bad defense won't come into play, but bad offense certainly will. I know it isn't quite that simple, but this team needs offense right now and 6 innings of Soler probably isn't going to hurt them defensively.
  2. I kind of hope he does. I'll gladly take a reduced Kershaw on short rest over a dominant Kershaw on full rest. The only thing the Dodgers gain by starting him on short rest is him being available in the bullpen in Game 7, which doesn't really seem worth the risk of sacrificing a good start from your best pitcher.
  3. I just got home from the game and am curious what the strike zone looked like tonight. From my seats, I can't judge inside/outside, so I don't know whether either pitcher was getting the corners more than the other. It felt like maybe the Cubs pitchers were getting squeezed a bit, but I don't know what the reality was.
  4. So, Rondon for the 9th, them who is left? Grimm and Z?
  5. Bah. This better not bite is like trying to let Wood get the 1 out against SF.
  6. Really? Javy blooped in a double and the Dodgers hit a lot of balls hard at our guys.
  7. It may be more that Joe doesn't trust Rondon in the 8th.
  8. To be fair, he was getting hit harder than those numbers show.
  9. Not being ticket police here, but just asking for future reference. How did you use 4 emails? Don't they specify only 1 entry per person?
  10. No big deal. They will have a spare lying around anyway once Jansen's arm falls off.
  11. That was hilarious. "You don't want to give away an out."
  12. There have been some awful bunt attempts.
  13. I ain't a-scared of these guys.
  14. Was Aroldis just really fired up or was he angry that people were touching him and wanted no part of a mob on the mound?
  15. For the record, I kept watching the game in bed and didn't miss an inning. Amazing. I horsefeathering love Javy.
  16. I'm going to bed, not completely giving up but I'm too tired for this horsefeathers after last night.
