He's 2 for 3 with a HR against Urias. Ride the defense this time and see if he can have similar success at the plate. Surely that is statistically significant. It is when you understand exactly how rare it is for Heyward to homer.
Hill OPS against LHB: .522 Urias OPS against LHB: .740 The fact they both throw with the same arm means nothing. And Rizzo is horsefeathering donging tonight.
You expect to beat Kershaw in Game 6? Lol. We must win the next two and then hope we can figure out a way to win Game 7. Yeah, because he's been totally unhittable his entire postseason career. Jesus Christ. We've already been over how much bad luck it took for Javy's flyout to have not been a HR. With even average luck this is a 2-1 Cubs series right now.
This is incredibly meatbally, but the target's just too big. Just feels like it's going to take a mediocre 88-win WC Cubs team to finally break through and get it done.
Well if we're losing regardless who's under center, I'll take the more exciting of the two QBs. Give Jay a chance to end his Bears tenure on a somewhat respectable note (as respectable as possible at this point, anyway).
They're potentially a couple weeks away from literally having nothing on the Cubs and catapulting themselves even further into irrelevance and obscurity. They have every right to feel threatened. They should feel threatened.
Good. Assuming we're not in danger of being eliminated Game 6 I much rather him throw 2 and 6, both on the road, than 3 and 7 with one at home. The idea of facing Rich Hill in a winner-take-all Game 7 feels much better to me, rational or not.
