10/20 Cubs (Lester) vs Dodgers (Maeda) 7 p.m., FS1
imb replied to soccer10k's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I was actually thinking similarly during the Game 3 loss, but I was like "thank god we have theo and he's smart enough not to overreact to how bad we've looked against two lefties." -
at this rate the dodgers wont pitch Kershaw in Game 5 because they'll be saving him for Game 1
-
they're really good and we're really cold
-
So Hawk4Hall gets a bit carried away in the heat of the moment and is quickly chased away, yet Formerly Poster X here's been all out trolling for the better part of 48 hours and it's all good? it aint trolling if you're right
-
sweet, at this rate we just need about 80 more innings and we'll have enough of this to tie it up
-
pardon me while i go bump all my posts from the game 2 thread
-
Because he will probably suck if you do that I'd trust him on 3 days against a team that can't hit lefties over the buck toothed moron that has had less success against lefties most of his career. Seriously how did we not realize how bad of a matchup the Dodgers were some of us did
-
wont matter unless they can hit
-
it's gonna be fun when i go and copy all the bragging horsefeathers from the game 2 thread about how we were gonna light up rich hill and win the series 4-1 into a google doc tonight and then cut myself. We're gonna let rich hill throw 7 shutout against us. the guy who can't take a piss without a blister showing up (not on his dick on his hands i mean)
-
man if someone would have just told me this was going to happen on Sunday night after Game 2 I wouldnt have had to watch this debacle
-
Remember what I was saying then other day
-
Let people be negative and worried. There's a reason to be iffy about our chances You mean because that's what the MLB playoffs are? Get a load of this guy
-
At least we're making hill *kinda* work. Gotta pray for a blister
-
that one hurts. Not only is it 1-1 if that stays fair, but you're talking about potentially adding another 5-10 pitches to kershaw's count

Week 7: Bears @ Packers Thursday Night on CBS/NFLN
imb replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Chili without beans is basically just beef stew. It's a crime whenever someone tries to serve it to people expecting delicious chili. Chili is delicious with and without beans. Damn straight -
I can't believe I'm 24 hours from feeling like we're going to the World Series in a matchup we should be massive favorites in or wanting to kill myself.
-
It's more that the Dodgers are terrified to let him pitch because they've been treating him as bubble boy the pitcher. He threw 6 strong innings against the Cubs on August 27th, and he's thrown 16 innings since. presumably for an occasion just like this?
-
Why wouldn't they just use Stripling in relief of Hill and then start Urias in Game 4 and only expect a couple innings out of him? That way you have the hope of getting more SP innings in Game 4, and Stripling gets the benefit of a lineup oriented for a LHP. In the Cubs' case the latter doesn't make much difference(especially with Montero starting), but still. They're doomed either way as the dong fest commences appx 24 hours from now and extends another 48 hours after that. how many pitchers do we plan on letting hit
-
Assuming he's hitting and healthy, sure, but he's not hitting, and he's terrible defensively, and we're playing in a park with a very large OF. You are basing him not hitting on 6 playoff ABs - one start and 3 PH appearances? and his awful september
-
well so does the fact that we might as well have the same at the plate when heyward is up. what is this team missing more right now hitting or defense theres a fair chance, better the 75%, you'd have that broom in LF and AB if you start Soler. heres a question, if you really want to get Soler in there, why not sit Addi. Put Javy at ss, Zo and 2b and your infield D doesnt lose alot and you still a) keep RF and CF locked down and b) get (hopefully) a LH pitcher mashing god at the plate? give me two hours to decipher this and ill get back to you
-
Soler was objectively the 5th best hitter on the team this season, despite the overreacting to a 6 PA sample in this year's playoffs. In between 2 month stints on the DL, sure, maybe. But the fact that we may as well play with 2 OF and a broom with a glove on it propped up in LF when he's out there sort of matters. well so does the fact that we might as well have the same at the plate when heyward is up. what is this team missing more right now hitting or defense
-
lol that 5 game sample is timed nicely to avoid mentioning the 7 no-hit innings he threw in the start before
-
That's a good point. I feel much better about our lineup being able to pitchcount Hill out by 5 (if we can't hit him) than I did about doing that to Kershaw.
-
The Cubs do not have the pitching advantage in game 3 Based on what? how the two pitchers performed this year?
