that's just dumb. today is "win today and you can win the world series tomorrow." none of us has seen that. arguing that Game 6 of the WS is equivalent to Game 7 of an NLCS makes no sense at all. but you do you. yeah, it's kind of like the argument that came up when i said i would take being 3 straight wins away from winning the WS every year, and people brought up that the pre-season odds may have been a smidge higher. -

That has to be the most poorly made logo for any company who can afford naming rights to an MLB stadium. two horribly mismatched fonts...the main logo font is like the most vanilla helvetica-esque lettering. and then a giant red arrow. it's awful.

This is part of it, but not the entirety of the issue. The worry isn't that the Cubs are going to take a bunch of curveballs for strikes, but that they're going to chase them out of the zone. It's more a worry for the back half of the lineup than the front half, and it's more of a worry the better a breaking pitch that you have. Tomlin's curve sits somewhere between Bauer's and Klubers on the quality scale, with more risk of him being like Bauer than upside to be like Kluber, especially on short rest. It's also good to remember that for all the hand wringing about Tomlin, in his outing where everything went right he still only went 4.2 IP. That's probably the best shot the Cubs have considering the Indians can pretty easily get 4-5 IP from Shaw/Miller/Allen, but the other half is still an opportunity. Shaw has given up 3 hits and 2 walks for a run in 3.2 IP. Miller has given up 5 baserunners(including a HR) and multiple lineouts in 5.1 IP. In a game where the Indians very easily might struggle to score 3, the Cubs don't need to bomb Tomlin into oblivion to have the upper hand. I've heard that he abandoned his slider which was a really bad pitch for him, but I don't have the energy to actually look into it.

yeah...and those seasons he's talking about collapsed because jay got hurt. and because a 10 win team didn't make the playoffs.

[tweet] [/tweet] bulls highlights looking like an and 1 mixtape.
-
most importantly push the ball in transition unlike someone else
-
can't help but wonder where we might be if jay and mcphee had been healthy
-
i was about to be like what in the HELL happened to alex brown's face then i realized it's horsefeathering halloween
-
they had go cubs go playing after the game
-
are you drunk again Well, you'd have to be to think they had much of a chance i kind of quietly expected this might happen...definitely would've picked them +6. the vikings line has been horrific and mcphee had shown signs vs green bay. plus we had jay back. that said, that wasn't really my point. you made this post after you already made a post earlier acknowledging that they were winning. just weird is all.
-
i'm going to miss the horsefeathers out of jay
-
are you drunk again
-
jeez even ST looking good
-
also maybe the reports of pernell mcphee's death have been exaggerated
-
feels good to see a qb who can actually throw touchdowns and not just rack up high yardage totals between the 20s
-
i love freewheelin jay
-
so bears are winning too?
-
Still just exhibition, right? Since I'm only 80% sure you're joking, they're blowing out the nets, blew out the pacers without a sweat and beat the Celtics. They're 2-0.
-
I think they're going to be the two seed
-
Bulls looking good again...
-
i would pay so much money for two 5+ run wins i actually believe i might die
-
they've scaled it back big time. not sure why they haven't gotten rid of it altogether already.
-
No watch parties at Wrigley.

you're purposefully trying to ruin my intentionally feeble attempt at humor, aren't you? I am running on fumes (of my eroding liver) right now and do not think I am capable of doing anything with purpose exact same even seeing some of the posts in hear with analytical articles and stuff...the idea of even thinking about reading those is exhausting. i only have enough energy to watch these two baseball games, and they might still kill me.
