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. -
Small ball when the ball is carrying today hmm
-
Yep hes out
-
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.
-
My real time thoughts on that line drive: "Yep that's a hit. Oh wait I forgot we have Pete Crow-Armstong."
-
Hopefully that web gem gets PCA going
-
Seeing the carry on that routine fly ball by Arraez terrifies me
-
4:08 I believe
-
Still strangely upset about the 1984 playoffs? lol
-
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.
-
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...
-
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
-
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
-
Not sure how you can assume the division will be won with 90 games. Some years it might, other years it might take 100 wins. And there’s less wiggle room if you don’t aim to win 95 games. I think the 6 team format is incentivizing teams to build 85ish win teams.
-
I just hate this entire round. I'd rather it go 1 game and be done with it.
-
Yeah but Soroka got 2 outs today and Willi Castro...looked good sitting on the bench?
-
I'm not saying this because we won game 1 and lost game 2 but the MLB should just make all the WC rounds single elimination. I didn't like the WC game, but I like this even less. Go back to 4 playoff teams per league (I know that will never happen)
-
Just saying I'd rather not have the wind blowing out when we're starting an extreme fly ball pitcher.
-
Taillon is 2nd to only Shota in GB% and HR/9 this season on the Cubs and they're actually closer than you'd think
-
1 pitch from at least having the tying run up. I dont feel great about tomorrow but I'm also a pessimist so dont listen to me.
-
Are you *sure* you want that?
-
It's not conceding, it's balancing the likelihood of a 9th inning comeback against an elite pitcher down 3 runs when the offense has done nothing vs. having arms available in tomorrow's game where the score starts 0-0 and you have to burn 9 innings. There's no reason Rea couldn't have gotten the last 2 outs of that inning IMO.
-
Actually thought about including that but since the results were better its forgotten. That one 9-8 win in game 5 against Washington had a ton of unusual runs scored including on a catchers interference and reaching on dropped 3rd strike.
-
So confused why we're using Soroka here and Rea. I know he won't likely throw a lot of pitches but doesn't make sense to burn them here down 3 with an inning to go and no offense all day.
-
Of course leaping catch to rob him of extra bases and a chance to bring the tying run up
