Same. I had a dream last night that when Kershaw left the game it was 6-1 Cubs after Schwarber hit a donger. I never dream about baseball so I'm taking this as prophecy. -
The six months from being 3:1 favorites and now being 9:2 had a significant amount of data come in. Mainly the Dodgers winning 103 games and Cubs winning 92. If you think the .625 winning percentage for the Dodgers and the .566 winning percentage for the Cubs (by BaseRuns) are the true talent levels for both teams then the Cubs should be +180 (35.5%) for the series. At my book they were +170 (37%) to win the NLCS and my numbers said they should be more like +130 (43.5%) to win the NLCS, so I rolled over a portion of my NLDS winnings for this matchup. We're underdogs but we absolutely should be underdogs, but I am going to love upsetting the mighty Dodgers.

But now they’re using Buck and Pat etc. it’s weird.
-
How awful is the after the fact fake radio calls of the NLCS? I’ve heard “the final out” already and it’s an abortion. How do they not get permission to use Buck or at least the Pat calls? Edit: they used Pat’s call for clinching the pennant.

I had no idea Contreras was involved with a porn star, but is it Mia Khalifa? I"ve heard her on LeBatard and I think she's a DC area sports fan He isn’t “involved” with her just slid into those DMs and got put on blast by her because she likes attention

He's got like 3 hits this series.
-
Crush this fool before Dusty knows what hit him
-
Make amends for what? He had absolutely no shot to throw out Turner on the first hit. None whatsoever.

Ok now I'm ready. LET'S horsefeathering GO!

I'm still weirdly calm. That'll change as this one progresses.
-
I think it was fake news by FS1
-
I wish yeah they were just talking on the broadcast and said scherzer was going on short rest after coming back from an injury He's starting. Oh Dusty never horsefeathering change.
-
The doom boners are out in force which means I'm pretty positive we pull this out.
-
It's frustrating because he's not even throwing low fastballs. Should be a tell that it's a low change. If it's going to be this good it doesn't matter about the window dressing he throws around it.
-
Strasburg's changeup is like a top 4 pitch in all of baseball.
-
Good lord, Anthony.
-
Yeah that below league average strikeout rate is just a mirage.
-
Jake got one too against Werth. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Jake's strike 3 to Werth was on the plate.
-
I love it. They're not going to take you deep so establish the fastball early and then start throwing the offspeed stuff second time through. I wouldn't mind if he went 100% fastballs to all of the first 9

She looked like Doc Holliday's girlfriend, Kate, in Tombstone.
-
It looks horsefeathering miserable there.
-
Let's horsefeathering go!

This is how I imagine your living space looks.

"Time makes fools of us all" - The Kyle Schwarber Thread
Agony and Ivy replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Show your work. Because the defensive metrics out there disagree with you, and no offense, but you're just a guy on a message board. -9 DRS in 800 innings is not good but if he hits .250 like in the 2nd half, it's largely a non-issue 3.4 UZR and a 7.5 UZR/150. So that's pretty good, as it's better than any season Ryan Bruan put up in his career.
