Gee wonder if the dinner plate sized zone has anything to do with Lester walking guys
-
What a garbage strike zone.
-
Javytag
-
Come on Lester
-
There have been easily 6 called strikes that were just not, and identical pitches the next inning get called balls. Kluber is pitching well but the zone has been inconsistent
-
That was a terrible at bat by Bryant
-
That wasn't the first breaking ball to be basically over the heart of the plate so maybe we should swing at it more
-
That was a strike to Coghlan a minute ago
-
Jesus. Good thing their bullpen is ba-wait crap
-
Strike 3 to Bryant and 1 to Javy and Cogs were all terrible
-
Oh that's a strike?
-
Okay this is irritating
-
Dang
-
Half dong
-
Jesus Smoltz stop talking about Kershaw
-
Self inflicted. Definitely not ideal to be falling behind the team with the great bullpen
-
Ugh lame
-
How was ball 2 not strike 1
-
FYI, I am an official World Series ticket inspector. PM me so I can send you my address so you can drop by to let me verify whether your tickets are actually legit. If they are fakes, I will save you any legal troubles by taking them from you and privately disposing of them.

Yeah sure I guess lets bench Thrillson Contreras for Chris Coghlan.

Benching a guy who's hitting everyone well and playing otherworldly defense to get Chris Coghlan in the game at 2B would be top 5 dumb, which is what I was referring to. In what strange scenario would this actually happen? Someone posted that a couple pages back they had heard Coghlan at 2B and no Baez as Maddon's "lineup surprise".

How long have you been a Chicago sports fan? I can think of PLENTY of decisions much worse than that. That said, there's no logical reason whatsoever to think Javy wouldn't start tonight... especially with Lester on the mound... especially with knowing the Indians are going to run every chance they get and that Javy is the best tagger in the history of the game. But, hey, kudos on the hyperbole! Benching a guy who's hitting everyone well and playing otherworldly defense to get Chris Coghlan in the game at 2B would be top 5 dumb, which is what I was referring to.

Hiring Dusty. Hiring Emery. Trading for Rick Mirer. Keeping the Blackhawks off TV, whatever the Bulls have been doing the past 20 years. Javy made his mark as a less-than-full-time player this year and while I would want him in the lineup, I would not judge these guys for holding him back against the tough right hander for PH opportunities later in game 1. It would hardly be a stupid decision, let alone a top 5 stupid. He's made multiple game impacting plays on defense alone, sometimes more than once a game. Even if you think Kluber is a bad matchup batting, he's changing games with his glove.
-
Benching Javy would be a top-5 stupid decision in Chicago sports history. Moving him off of 2B would also be dumb, albeit less so. If you're worried about CLE speed on the bases keeping him at 2B where he's been otherworldly this month would be more impactful, I'd think.

Are you kidding me with this horsefeathers?
