this guy sucks. Just groove it.
-
good call. sit down dusty.
-
Yeah Jason. Take one for the team.
-
The pitch to Rendon was borderline too. I'll make that trade.
-
walk off win for Indians.
-
I don't hear that at all. yeah, they certainly suck at announcing but I don't see it either.
-
When CJ throws strikes, CJ gets outs. Simple as that.
-
Well at least the second pitcher's (Martin's) spot isn't due up again for a while.
-
clutch. horsefeathering clutch.
-
Remember when Jay turned into Ted Williams without power in the playoffs that one year with the Cards? Man I hated him then.
-
Jon Jay!
-
I really believe that Lester or Arrieta would've allowed like 5 runs at least.
-
This is a weird development. I hear Randall Simon is Dusty's top candidate to replace him.
-
Werth became Chase Utley. A formerly good player who became crappy and just tries to draw walks.
-
Goodness gracious Javy. Please become NLDS Javy and stop being WS Javy.
-
hey, anyone got the Bulls score tonight?
-
The Cubs started the Murphy dominance in 2015. After this series, hopefully he turns back into the .280 hitting .750 OPS guy.
-
Thanks for reminding us how Murphy owned the Cubs in 2015 TBS.
-
Jacques Jones is hitting coach? I remember he was a typical dusty guy. Decent hitter who wouldn't take a walk.
-
Whew. Cubs are looking bad. But the offense did look putrid for multiple game stretches in the playoffs last year and it turned out ok.
-
Starter looking dominant. Sailing though. Then implodes. Would be typical dusty.
-
Damn. Cleveland tied it up.
-
Ok time to get this guy.

I think experience is a big factor. But here's my reasoning. Not necessary because experience makes you better. Playoff baseball is a completely different animal from regular season baseball. I think pressure is very real, and some players play better and some play worse. The fact that the Cubs won last year at least proves that they can excel at playoff baseball, even granting that luck contributes to a large degree in series that are 5 or 7 games. You have no idea if the Nats are full of a bunch of Clayton Kershaws who underachieve in the playoffs (although I do know that Murphy scares the horsefeathers out of me). You at least know the Cubs aren't. Yeah...I do believe playoff pressure is an actual factor. It's just almost always impossible to tell when it is. There's a few examples that are so glaring that it seems unlikely that it isn't in play...David Price, what happened with the starters in the one game playoffs throwing pure meatballs...Hell, DeRosa admitted the other day that in 08 he felt himself trying too hard and trying to be a hero. 2007 and 2008 Cubs. Sure, its a 6 game sample. But there's a reason for that. They sucked ass for those 6 games.
