  1. If it was still 2nd and 3rd and it wasn't Tucker on 3rd I'd almost consider a squeeze lol
  2. Well at least he's coming up with 0 outs. He needs a red light until he gets a strike.
  3. Kelly is the key at bat since we have no idea what PCA will give us
  4. Well Tucker seems to be running ok enough. I was worried he was going to be station to station.
  5. I wonder if there's an advantage for the hitter when you see 3 pitches, the inning ends, you are the DH so not focused on the field, and then you come up again. It's almost like facing him a second time.
  6. Would be nice if the Cubs could give him a couple of runs and maybe give him a little more slack to face the order a second time.
  7. I mean he could get pulled at any point. If the Cubs get the first 2 on next inning they might decide to pull him.
  8. So did the home runs. Guys I'm a little concerned that we don't have the power and the speed to be the best in the National League
  9. I haven't actually gone back and looked at the numbers, but I've felt like we've been thrown out attempting to steal a lot lately.
  10. Yep, but it's also about how the bats are hitting right now. In general they've had more consistent quality contact this series with notable exceptions.
  11. My real time thoughts on that line drive: "Yep that's a hit. Oh wait I forgot we have Pete Crow-Armstong."
  12. Seeing the carry on that routine fly ball by Arraez terrifies me
  13. If we lose we lose, whatever. 92 wins, won a playoff game, hobbled into the playoffs with arguably our 2 best starters (Steele and Horton) out and our best hitter banged up and only recently returned and doesn't seem fully locked in yet. Of course that's loser talk, just win, etc. Just saying I might be upset in the immediate aftermath but overall I won't be anywhere near as disappointed as I was after past playoff eliminations.
  14. We're the outlier in that we won at home in Game 1 and lost at home in game 2. Though the Reds are currently beating the Dodgers so...
  15. Welp so much for the "almost every WC series is a sweep" stat. Hopefully the Dodgers win tonight so the game is at least a little later in the day
  16. Butterfly effect. Who knows the mindset the Cubs take down 1 run where 1 swing can tie it vs down 3 runs which seems much more daunting. I hear you that it’s less important than the fact that the Cubs offense couldn’t do anything but the HR changed the rest of the game, particularly how the Padres deployed their pen
