and the 1-1 call jeez -
gimme a break with that 1-0 call
-
I think the 4th is great because of the 3rd, and the 3rd was out of the zone and almost impossible for a guy with Joc's swing to do damage with.
-
He's welcome to since Edwards crushes lefties and righties alike
-
or did Rondon drop below Edwards
-
this is a good decision, score runs, you have an elite pen
-
this zone has widened considerably
-
it's almost like non-bunters bunting against one of the best pitchers in the game is hard
-
aw yiss He's up this inning. Doubt he gets to pitch the 5th. Terrific, 5 innings of bullpen is just as good.

aw yiss

Buck calls a good game, he just needs to not editorialize. So far I haven't noticed and to be honest his voice is synonymous with the highest profile games so it's already an improvement on Vasgersian. I give Vasgersian a semi-pass, since I've listened to his Javy "That's barely humanly possible!" call about a 1000 times. Yeah I didn't think Vasgersian was bad by any stretch(preferable to the TBS booth last year), and certainly leaps and bounds better than Costas.

hahahahaha they blurred Rizzo's mouth

He's actually on record saying he thinks the Cubs winning a WS would be awesome and he'd love to call it. Buck calls a good game, he just needs to not editorialize. So far I haven't noticed and to be honest his voice is synonymous with the highest profile games so it's already an improvement on Vasgersian.

I'm mostly just marking the play for future reference but even if that throw beat Javy he sure better have been safe on the plate blocking rule

Kershaw confirmed for tomorrow.

Championship Series Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Banedon's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Right, was not intended as a counterpoint, I just heard the broadcast allude to it and found it fascinating. Although I will say the Indians pen certainly gives them more margin for error than the average team when it comes to rotation depth. -
Championship Series Thread

The Indians have trailed for 1 inning in this postseason, the Red Sox scored 1 in the top of the 1st in Game 1 and the Indians tied it up in the bottom of the 2nd. -

I think Giants made me more nervous because their lineup wasn't as good. If the Dodgers club a bunch of extra base hits and win the series, welp they were a good team. I can handle that a lot better than even year magic and Joe Panik BABIPing his way to NLDS MVP. I'm also a little bit more confident that playing a team that strikes out a normal amount will reduce the likelihood of silly nonsense(like Panik and Gillaspie) happening, even if only slightly.

Yeesh. Jansen is a free agent, so screw him I guess. He's thrown 3 of 5 days for a combined 80 pitches, the closest he came to that this year was throwing 3 of 6 days for 59 pitches, and when he pitched the next day he blew a 1 run save.
-
That's a good point, here's the time through the order numbers since the all-star break: 1st time: .596 OPS 2nd time: .741 3rd time: .865
-
It'll be interesting to see how Roberts wants to handle Maeda and the pen tonight. Jansen almost certainly isn't available, plus Dayton got beat up pretty good in the NLDS and confidence in him might not be super high. That trickle down means that there might not be as much confidence in the middle relievers, which is especially important since (as Brett noted today) Maeda gets hammered by the time thru the order penalty: 1st time: .550 OPS 2nd time: .626 3rd time: .887 With that in mind, I think baserunners are maybe even more important than pitch count today, and double plays more damaging than first pitch pop outs. They're intertwined, but I'd love for the top of the order to hit for the 3rd time in the 5th inning because that forces some real hard decisions.

Championship Series Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Banedon's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
That is what cracks me up the most about the Cubs fatigue stuff. You know who's even more sick of talk about lovable losers and curses and 108 years? CUBS FANS. Also, sorry that the Cubs are by far the best team in baseball with a rabid fan base and are a more compelling story than the Dodgers' make-a-wish campaign for injured pitchers. -
General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
The confusing thing to me is that if it's a money thing, they sure put themselves in a decent sized hole with that signing bonus. Do they really think they're going to get more than $100,000 of profit on Tebow jersey sales? Are they going to let him start every day for Ft Lucie when it looks unlikely he can even hit at Jordan-at-Birmingham levels? -
Arrieta's starts are guaranteed to feature an opposing LHP, so keeping Montero off and having Ross catch him if you're worried about game calling/framing is a pretty easy compromise to make.
