Do you honestly believe in home field advantage in baseball? sure why not -
If you'd quit acting like Rondon Fan, your posts would stop being treated like his, which is what they are, reactionary nonsense. i dont care how the posts are treated, or i wouldn't be posting them. i dont think the tea leaves read in our favor in the next three games, hopefully im wrong.
-
let's not go acting like im rondon fan here. Im confident when the team inspires confidence. Saying "id bet money they dont come back to chicago" isnt the same as saying "i dont think they'll come back to chicago." When you go to vegas do you only bet games you think you'll win?

i've never said they didn't count, i've said they've masked how pitiful our offense has been so far. Playoff wide OPS going into tonight was .603. Even if you weirdly say everything good that we've done is just masking all the crap and somehow needs to be removed from the numbers, we'd still fall right about in line with everyone else. Every reasonable thought process says the offense is going to perform better than it has. To write it off after 6 games, where 3 of them were against top 10 pitchers in the league, seems odd. every reasonable thought process said the offense would perform better the first six games too, but we faced good pitching and we hit .193. Guess what, two of the next three games (three of three depending on what you think of Urias) are also against really good pitchers. And we're on the road. And we're in a massive ballpark. optimistically, both offenses have been playing equally this playoffs, and they're both facing struggling pitchers the next two games. Hill was better than Arrieta this year (in a smaller sample bc of the blisters) and Lackey has been uninspiring at best. If we were 1-1 and coming to chicago for three games i'd feel a lot better.

are you pissy because im being negative or are you pissy because you feel the same way you just dont want to be bitched at for admitting it I just hate ernie johnson, and was hoping you'd man up can give me odds of this series coming back to chicago the reality is that it has a high likelihood of coming back to chicago because this team is so good it doesn't often lose three in a row. But considering that I don't like the matchups or the way we've swung the bats the last two weeks, if I was in vegas and it was like +200 or whatever, I'd definitely bet on it
-
the fact that you're actually posting this from mom and dad's is so perfect Swing and miss, sparky. But that's pretty typical for you in game threads. You should take a break. its also pretty typical for our offense the last six games.

Do you ever leave your parents house and go outside? Sick burn from a 12-year old. Less flattering for a grown man in the middle of an online temper tantrum. the fact that you're actually posting this from mom and dad's is so perfect

Hill has struggled in the playoffs and urias has only thrown a couple of innings. their sample is much smaller than the 202 at bats our offense has faltered through so far. Do those 202 at bats include all the home runs you're saying doesn't count? Just curious. i've never said they didn't count, i've said they've masked how pitiful our offense has been so far.

rich hill walked 1.3/9 as a dodger How many innings did he pitch as a Dodger? his bb/9 is something like 2.3/9 in the 140 innings his pitched since his resurrection. you can pretend he's some mitch williams SP but he's not.
-
that's awesome. we're hitting something like .190 in the playoffs so far, but thank god roberts decided to walk heyward and coghlan last night and the guy who's so crippled he almost didn't make the roster hit a bomb drunk and trolling, IMO are you pissy because im being negative or are you pissy because you feel the same way you just dont want to be bitched at for admitting it

the offense has been propped up by some incredible clutch late-inning horsefeathers. Has anyone felt positive about Arrieta the last few months? Lackey? The way the offense has performed this offseason filled you with confidence even before Kershaw took the mound? Now we're going on the road. Talk horsefeathers about Hill if you want, but go look at his bb ref page for the last two seasons and tell me you feel confident about game 3. What about anyone other than Kershaw , Seager, and Gonzalez makes you soo [expletive] scared. Rich Hill is a good pitcher, who also walks a lot of batters rich hill walked 1.3/9 as a dodger

Hitting home runs in the 8th and 9th counts just as much as hitting them in the 2nd and 3rd. Arrieta had a good start in SF, has done well against this Dodger team, and to reiterate, the Dodgers have not hit for crap thus far in the series. that's awesome. we're hitting something like .190 in the playoffs so far, but thank god roberts decided to walk heyward and coghlan last night and the guy who's so crippled he almost didn't make the roster hit a bomb

What was the team OPS in those four games Jesus if we're going to go full on Pete Rose here and just buy into super small sample sizes, going into tonight the Cubs had a .686 OPS and the Dodgers had a .698. But yeah, just write this team off based on the best pitcher in the last twenty years shutting us down. the offense has been propped up by some incredible clutch late-inning horsefeathers.

I don't think we can count on 9th inning grand slams going forward. This offense has been bad the entire postseason The previous four games were 5-5-6-8, runs wise. Not abysmal. But definitely not where it should be. Russell has to be moved out of the five spot. Having two hitters who are slumping badly back to back in the middle of your lineup can't continue. What was the team OPS in those four games

How do you feel about arietta and lackey right now? Real confident? Then we'd get Kershaw in LA in game 5. It's likely we take one of those games but if someone gave me odds we go 0-3 in LA I would definitely take it what odds do you want? Wouldn't take much given how bad jake and lackey have been, combined with our struggling offense going into a cavernous ballpark.
-
Good point; it's been a whole 24 hours since they scored 8. I don't think we can count on 9th inning grand slams going forward. This offense has been bad the entire postseason

Not sure if being pessimistic or optimistic. Gonna guess based on the poster optimistic How do you feel about arietta and lackey right now? Real confident? Then we'd get Kershaw in LA in game 5. It's likely we take one of those games but if someone gave me odds we go 0-3 in LA I would definitely take it

Do you ever make it through the day without breaking down in tears? Do you ever leave your parents house and go outside?
-
come again?
-
i would bet a lot of money that we dont come back from LA
-
horsefeathering pitiful
-
id rather use wood here and save chapman's bullets for when we actually need him. it's not like he's been airtight this offseason anyway
-
yeah he could go for a 4-inning save if we're just gonna see 9 pitches an inning
-
would be great if these fans would stop losing their minds on 200 foot flyballs
