Yeah, W. Davis is probably unavailable and honestly he didn't even look that sharp last night. I think Q needs to go at least 7 innings tonight, and then we're probably going to need to use him in relief again if we get to a game 7. [tweet] [/tweet] -
Q better pitch a complete game because Wade Davis is dead now.
-
Isn't he also like 0-5 in the playoffs with 4Ks? Have you seen how the rest of the team is hitting?
-
I'm already kinda perplexed at the weirdos sobbing over this bearded miscreant getting his ass gone. We got the best of him...now I'm happy to send him on his way.

I'll rephrase. I don't think losing tonight will embarrass me any more than I already am today.

You're not already embarrassed?

....this might be the last cubs game for the next 6 months and most certainly the last time you'll see Jake arrieta pitch as a cub. If it's the last game, that means they lost...and I've watched enough of that over the last 4 days.

Gonna be honest...I'm gonna record this on the dvr and watch other stuff...checking the score on my phone, and then flipping to the recording if something good happens.

That North division is pretty screwy, geographically.

FWIW, McCullough and Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times both say in the video that they think the chances are pretty low that they Dodgers will be able to do that. http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-dodgers-nlcs-roster-20171014-story.html

Justin Wilson off, Rondon on the roster.

Is there any precedent for MLB not allowing a DL move?

I listened to the Score yesterday for the first time in like, forever. And they were interviewing this guy, and he just really doesn't think Maddon is any good tactically. He basically thinks that Maddon makes awful decisions that work out, and that Dave Roberts out managed him last year. Spiegel and Parkins were definitely getting on him about this opinion, even though Parkins and Mccullough are long time buddies.

I want Cubs-Astros because I want to watch as little potential cold/rainy baseball as possible. Then you want LA vs Astros

Man, you're splitting an awfully fine hair here. That play was a big part of the reason they lost that game. Sure, it was one of about 5 different big, awful moments for the Nats last night, but freak play or not, it can't be dismissed.
-
I gotta be honest...most of the time on big wins, I enjoy going back for the highlights on it. I'm not really sure I'm gonna enjoy the highlights of this game for long. Or even the series. Super happy that we won of course, but it was ugly enough that I don't feel a great need to rewatch.

The number of times people run *hard* through home plate without sliding compared to how many times people run hard through first base pales in comparison though. It's probably literally 100x more common at 1st base, maybe twice that. Absolutely. Just saying that you'd think if that was much of a danger, you'd have seen it happen at home plate at some point. And maybe it has and I'm just not aware of it.
-
On the running hard through first thing...I don't know that I've ever seen a player slip on home plate as they run home. Most of the time, they're cruising in, but there's plenty of cases where players have run hard through the plate and not slid.
-
There's a lot of whining this morning about the replay on the pickoff call last night...that review is nitpicking this "coming off the bag for a split second" thing, and that that's bad...somehow. I think it's a bad argument, but I did see the suggestion that perhaps bases should be flat...in the ground, rather than raised. This would potentially help with sliding injuries, and would reduce the chance that you "bounce" off the bag sliding in. It might increase sliding "past" the bag, but is that a fair tradeoff for the reduction of injury? Might it make sliding into first base more acceptable? What's the downsides of this idea? Harder to find the bag if you're not looking at it as a fielder? Catchers manage it... Any other thoughts on this?
