  1. The batting is fine so long as he doesn't go back to left field.
  2. Almost has to be Montgomery with how many pitches he has thrown in the pen.
  3. Ok we got lucky to get through 6, for the love of god don't push it and try and go 7.
  4. I'd like to see Montgomery take the 6th against lefties Gillaspie,Crawford and Panik.
  5. I don't really prefer one team over the other, but I will say playoff Scherzer is scarier than playoff Kershaw. Outside of that I'm not particularly fearful of any of Hill,Maeda,Roark or Gio. The most worrying team left in the playoffs is the Blue Jays by far. Stroman and Sanchez are studs and their offense is just steam rolling Ranger's pitching. That line up can put up an 8 spot regardless of pitcher on any given night.
  6. It wont be enough for me if the Cubs win 3-1, they need to bury Bumgarner on Monday. If there was ever a time to make a statement in a game, Monday is it.
  7. Jose Ramirez and Carlos Santana are studs too. They've got an overall great IF. They are one of the few who can compete with the Cubs IF. 1B:Santana 3.7fWAR 2B:Kipnis 4.8fWAR SS:Lindor 6.3fWAR 3B:Ramirez 4.6fWAR vs: 1B:Rizzo 5.1fWAR 2B:Zobrist 4.1fWAR SS:Russell 4.0fWAR 3B:Bryant 8.4fWAR
  8. Ump, what in the horsefeathers?
  9. ...third blown call in 4 pitches
  10. Robot Umpires please, Belt is now on strike 4.
  11. His control definitely dropped a level or two with men on base
  12. i don't know about "just as" capable right now, but definitely very capable...and then they have to shut down our offense, not one of these. For reference, Arrieta faced both teams twice: Mets 7 IP, 1 ER 5.1 IP, 4 ER Giants 6 IP, 2 ER 7 IP, 1 ER Exactly, I think people underestimate how miserable the Giants offense has been this second half. The same could be said for the Mets but some how Asdrubal Cabrera has become a 1.000 OPS guy over the last month plus.
  13. Why didn't Loney just stay at 1B?
  14. As much as I dislike Bumgarner, the fact that he has stayed with the woman he was with before he exploded into being worth 100M+ is one of his few redeeming qualities.
  15. He knows he's most likely not going to be playing for Baltimore next year. They're losing Wieters and Trumbo and they don't have any money left nor do they have any talent in the minors that's near MLB ready other Sisco. So Baltimore either tries to compete again with a worse team than last year and uses what little talent they have in the farm to improve or they deal Britton who still has 2 years of team control left, but is going to cost 8-10M in arb in 2017. Personally I think they need to trade Jones,Britton and Machado, because there's no way they're going to give Manny the absurd contract he's going to get in 2019
  16. Your best pitcher doesn't throw a single pitch in a single elimination game. That's a fireable offense, I don't care what you did in the past.
  17. Buck is going to get destroyed for this.
  18. They interviewed him before the game and said he was good to go 2+ I don't get it. Ubaldo is effectively their #2 right now so they'd rather use their game 1 starter than use Britton without a lead?
