The way this game is going, another run would make me a decent amount more comfortable. -
Our turn to BABIP!
-
Still get the superpen....better with a lead though
-
Too bad these HRs came in the Zaidman inning
-
I swear this color dude is trying to do a Tony Gwynn impression
-
5 straight games with a HR and 6 in those 5 games, crazy
-
I don’t think he was back long enough to re-establish himself as one of the back end guys
-
I think a lot of scalpers bought them with the intent on selling them for a profit. There were so many cheap tickets on the secondary sites leading up to the game
-
This feels so much like the Marlins series so far
-
Dansby be saving runs
-
It's a WC round tradition!
-
6 more outs until the superpen is ready to slam the door.
-
I don't think I've ever been more confident that an AB was going to end in a strikeout than when PCA got to 2 strikes there. Way too overeager
-
Painted 2 pitches absolutely perfectly. Not much you can do with that.
-
Kevin Brown and Ben MacDonald
-
HRs taken away by the wind: 1
-
For anyone interested in going to a Cubs playoff game and are in the area, tickets are down to as little as $25 (with fees included) for today. If they win today they might be more tomorrow but still.

We survived the first inning with Boyd. Now he goes 7 strong.
-
I'm gonna be so annoyed about facing Arraez the next 2-3 days. I hate batters that always put the ball in play.
-
Same, like I said in an earlier post, this feels so far away from the WS and the whole WC round feels fake to me. I have slight nerves but it feels nothing like 2015-2017 right now. If they get past this round I'll be more nerves.
-
Damn Pivetta has a .503 OPS against at home and .681 on the road. .681 is still goodish but drastically higher away from Petco.

Playoff Eve Thread (Cubs v Padres)

I believe so yeah, to cut back on travel. The 1982 ALCS had 2 in Anaheim followed by 3 in Milwaukee. -
Playoff Eve Thread (Cubs v Padres)

I'm excited but also I dunno the WC round still doesn't feel like the playoffs to me. It feels like we're playing in Dayton in the play in round, even if 2/3 of the playoff teams are also in the play in round. -
Playoff Eve Thread (Cubs v Padres)
UMFan83 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Nah, apparently NBC was perfectly fine with World Series day games as long as they were on the weekend (in fact, Game 4 of the 1984 World Series started at 1:30pm ET in Detroit). What would have changed is instead of the Cubs having home field in the World Series, they would have instead played the middle 3 at Wrigley (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). There was talk that if the Cubs made the playoffs again in 1985 that they would move the home games to St. Louis

Playoff Eve Thread (Cubs v Padres)

It can't be Taillon unless its on short rest so it would have to either be Shota with or without an opener, or a game patched together with some combo of Soroka, Assad, Rea and Civale. It might also depend on how game 1 plays out with regards to the result and how the staff is used in that one. Shota has been pretty bad lately but if we win game 1, I'd be willing to give him the start (or start post opener). He still has the best shot of giving us 5-6 shutdown innings.
