Of course -
Dodgers must love having 3 pitchers up in a row
-
Fing Heyward
-
Rizzo and Lester should especially hate him
-
Please use that as momentum
-
Now the defense goes to horsefeathers. That's when you know they are pressing.
-
They just keep peppering us with strikes and we find ourselves down 0-2 and 1-2. Our pitchers are always behind in the count. This is so frustrating
-
Sorry I'm an ass and am rooting for the Dodgers if the Cubs don't win. If the Indians win, the next most recent championship drought (as in teams that have won one before) becomes the 1979 Pirates
-
Actually kind of surprised by this. I get the extra rest, but he's still spending less innings on the mound this way if the series goes 7. Pretty sure the Dodgers are confident there won't be a G7, and/or they're so confident in Hill after last night that they're banking on not needing Kershaw out of the pen anymore. Nah I don't think that's the case. This is the team that pitched Jansen 2 innings last night with a 4-6 run lead. They aren't taking any risks.

Tonight? This is a great point. I could see him throwing an inning tonight to bridge to Jansen and call it his side day. I wouldn't recommend this for LA but I could see it.
-
This feels like during the season when we would look for little things to say Heyward is fixed. "yeah but yesterday remember he didnt groundout that one time. So what if it was a popup to the catcher, he's finally hitting the ball in the air, time to crush the National League"
-
omg if we win tonight, we would go from funeral to pure jubilation and back to thinking that we are going home up 3-2.
-
Would it be suicide for Kershaw to pitch, lets say, 5 innings in Game 6 and then come on in relief for 2 innings in Game 7? Or would Roberts be that desperate to risk it?
-
I'd like to see a breakdown if this is really true.. Sure they are/have struggled against truly elite curveballs (Kershaw/Hill/Bumgarner) but almost everyone does, do they suck against all curveballs as a blanket statement or if you remove the truly elite ones are they still performing well? the information is on fan graphs. I tried to look it up but I'm not smart and didn't know how to draw conclusions from the data.
-
theo thought he had the Cubs covered from all possible angles, but it looks like he missed one!!
-
I think we're 5-5 against the Dodgers. 3-1 at Wrigley regular season, 1-2 at Dodger stadium regular season, then 1-2 in the playoffs
-
Why doesn't Theo just do a *wink wink* trade with the Angels for Mike Trout where we will return him after the playoffs? Just pretend Coghlan is hurt and replace him on the roster. Get it done Theo.
-
He began the season as a top 5 prospect in all of baseball but has only made 22 career minor league starts above A ball. He's had some hiccups and in other games he's been dominant. Because of his age and lack of innings, they are being extremely careful with him and I don't expect him to go more than 4-5 innings even if he's pitching well.

Posted on the previous page usurper. Damn, well it needs to be posted again and again.

-
I am too obsessed with this team. After the Miggy grand slam on Sunday, I was 100% convinced that we would win the series in LA and there was no way we were going to be denied because no matter what things would just work out like they have all year. Now 2 games later, I am having trouble imagining the Cubs ever scoring a run again and as much as I try to push it out of my head it feels like previous playoff fades. I will say though that this team is different. If any team in Cubs history can handle the adversity and turn things around its this team. I know because they've already done it multiple times this postseason.
-
Yeah seriously and while we're at it, why are Lester, Arrieta and Hendricks on the roster in games they don't pitch? Are they really going to come on in relief? This is just piss poor lazy roster management by Theo/Joe. No wonder we're losing!
-
He's still a decent WR4 play for the next couple of weeks in a 12 team PPR league though right?
-
Yeah I'd feel better about the series if the Cubs lost like 4-3. But watching the Dodgers lefties get to Jake and then looking completely helpless at the plate for the second time in a row is testing my faith big time, especially considering Jake is our Game 7 starter and we will have to still face both the pitchers that shut us down once more in the series. The good news is that negative vibes don't effect the team so feel how you want to feel. If they win, it won't change how awesome it will be. If they lose then you can pat yourself on the back for 'calling it' or whatever helps you sleep at night.
