I wanted Jake to throw a two seamer on the outside corner. Too bad Willy was set up inside.
-
An awful call by Rizzo to swing.
-
And it wasn't even on a breaking ball from a righty that ended up way inside. That was impressive.
-
I agree. You ignoring your game thread duties probably cost us the series. In the 9th on Sunday Joe was thinking, "Well if UMFan doesn't care, then I don't care either. Hey Bos, get Lackey warm."
-
Yeah, this bothers me less than the Mets series. The Dodgers are a legitimately great team this year. The Mets were a mediocre team that had four good pitchers happen to stay healthy for a year and Daniel Murphy.
-
Good job, Almora. Even though you might get bailed out.
-
I'd like to thank Puig for the perfect recreation of Game 6 last year.
-
Yep. Of course that happened.
-
LOL Carl.
-
Can Zobrist go 3 for 3 on the 4-3's?
-
horsefeathers this ump.
-
Just take two more, Heyward. If it gets to two strikes, then you can swing.
-
I was thinking the same thing. Jake's going to throw 90 pitches in 4 innings.
-
If I were manager I’d force everyone to bunt into the shift. Especially rizzo. He gets a more severe shift than most. Opposing teams would be thrilled if our perennial 30 HR 100 RBI player would just drop bunts all game If it works half the time that's a .500/.500/.500/1.000 line.
-
Kyle wasn't getting strikes in that location.
-
Zobrist has his Juan Pierre 4-3 game on point tonight.
-
This game is no longer fun. Good thing the first pitch was called a ball when it was clearly in the zone.
-
We didn't give up any runs in the first inning and we actually had a lead in a game are two differences from the Mets series.
-
Wait, Ethier is alive?
-
This is more hits already than the Cubs got in the first two games combined. That's not actually true but it feels like it.
-
The sabermetrics love bunting for a hit against the shift because, as you said, it's a guaranteed hit if it's halfway decent.
-
SCHWARBER DONG
-
Astros have the 8th inning bullpen woes also.
-
I also called Lackey "Dickbag McHorseteeth" so maybe that's what turned the series around.
-
weird. i mean obviously i get it if you're literally referring to the fact that we won those games, but that was a much more egregious decision by maddon, IMO. Chapman in Game 6 was pretty baffling, but you don't *know* it will turn out awfully in Game 7. Yes, there were good reasons to doubt the move and people did as soon as it happened, but you can see a little bit of wiggle room. Going with Lackey in a high leverage spot so you have Wade for the save. . . just feels like such a fundamental error. Not immediately getting someone warming up when Rizzo made it a 7 run game was a fundamental error. I, and I'm guessing most other people, were fine with Chapman coming in when he did in Game 6. It was the extra pitches he threw for no reason that we take issue with. That being said, we don't know how much those few pitches affected Chapman in Game 7, if they affected him at all.
