  1. This zone though. I'm really sick of talking about it honestly. Hope the Cubs can take advantage.
  2. They get HRs, they get dribblers. They get blown non K calls to keep ABs alive for hits/walks. Lackey can't go to 3 balls on the MF pitcher and take off from his fastball just to get the horsefeathers over. horsefeathers.

  4. I think I was pretty "happy to be here" about the World Series. Mid NLCS, I thought the Indians looked pretty tough and I declared to myself that just ending the 71 year drought was enough. At some point, I looked at the fact that the Cubs were so far better than everyone else, and I did a 180 and thought "the Cubs got this in 5". I wasn't nervous for any of the first 3 games. I wasn't upset after the game 1 loss. But last night really pissed me off. I don't want to deal with a future of this team losing this series. I know this team is young and very very good, but I think I was taking for granted that they'll get another chance. But that's not nearly a given. I want this NOW. No longer happy to be here.
  5. I'm getting pissed off. Gonna have their closer for 2.
  6. Yep. I said in Transactions that I would give up basically what it would take to get a starter at the deadline to get him because of his age, years of control, salary, no sign of ever faltering. And obviously, they wanted Schwarber which I wasn't willing to do. But I would have definitely thrown in more to get him over Chapman.
  7. I think he was making a Dave Roberts joke? Well that went right over my head. I wasn't. I forgot about the double switch. Clearly, I was joking about walking them loaded though.
  8. He was [expletive] fabulous in Game 1. Four baserunners in 2ip isn't my definition of fabulous. 0-4 with the only ball put in play about 35 feet behind 2nd base, with RISP shows he wasn't very close to giving up anything of any substance.
  9. Walk the bases loaded and see if they take out Miller.
  10. He's gotta pitch again in 3 days. It's fine from the Indians perspective.
  11. It's the correct move. Make them bring Miller in and not use our best hitter with 2 outs when it's not likely to score anyway.
  12. Runs here would be good. Miller's looming and if they want to bring him in, I'd rather it be with a deficit.
  13. It's like the ump has seen every Cubs game and is giving us payback.
  14. No If we have guys on base I'd do it without a second thought. Have to be less than 2 outs and no bases empty. I probably still wouldn't do it. This isn't high leverage yet.
  15. 4 balls have left the infield thru 21 batters. 3 of them by the Cubs.
