    We will if we can get to a Game 5.
  2. soccer10k
    Come on, Tuck. Get one big hit.
  3. soccer10k
    Well I'll certainly take that start from Boyd. Up to the pen now.
  4. soccer10k
    Ugh. Double by the 7 hitter, walk to the 8 hitter.
  5. soccer10k
    Do what you need to do to win today and worry about Saturday if we get there. No need to get cute.
  6. soccer10k
    Peralta has nothing tonight. Why are we swinging so much? Should be 3-0 on Nico.
  7. soccer10k
    IAN FUCKING HAPP.
  8. soccer10k
    Walk the lead off hitter. Lovely. GIDP please.
  9. soccer10k
    Obviously the Cubs winning is preferable. But the last thing I want is to sit through a 3 hour game only to figuratively get kicked in the dick at the end. So if the Cubs are going to lose, just rip the bandaid off and get it out of the way early. That being said, please win, Cubs.

    Playoff Kershaw in the house tonight.

    Baseball is so stupid with these game times. The NBA isn’t scheduling a Lakers playoff game at 3 pm local time during the week. Not totally the same thing since the Lakers can’t play an Eastern team until the finals. But they could play teams in the Central time zone. Just have the Dodgers play at 6 pm. Sorry Philly fans, but teams in other sports deal with it just fine.

    Last time the Jays were in the ALCS was 2016. ITS A SIGN!
  13. soccer10k
    Suck it, Yankees.
  14. soccer10k
    Isn’t that kind of a double edged sword? A 9-1 game means Taillon probably goes 6-7 and saves our pen too.
  15. soccer10k
    Well nobody did catch it with ordinary effort so… I mean it’s a tough one. Umps clearly waited because it looked like the Cubs weren’t going to catch it. Then they didn’t catch it. Seems like whichever way they ruled, a manager would have been mad.

    Sp you’re saying it wasn’t smart to have lined him up to start Games 2 and 5 in Milwaukee?
  18. soccer10k
    Dodgers are the anti-Cubs. They’ve scored 4+ runs in 13 straight playoff games which is tied with the 1970-71 Orioles for the longest streak in history.
  19. soccer10k
    Yes, if you take away all the good things a player does, he actually sucks!
  20. soccer10k
    You said he gets pretty much every bit of his value from his glove. That’s not true.
  21. soccer10k
    The MLB average OPS was .719. Nico was .739. And that’s not factoring in positions.
  22. soccer10k
    Seriously. If Nico was doing the same stuff he’s currently doing except you changed a few doubles to be HRs, we’d be thinking of him the same way we were thing about PCA in June. Just changing 13 doubles to HRs to give him 20 for the year puts him at a .782 OPS. Presumably, if he had 20 HR power but maintained his speed, there would probably be some doubles that would turn into triples and singles that would turn into doubles so he’s likely over an .800 OPS. Seiya had a .804 OPS this year which was a 130 OPS+. Peak Chase Utley was a 130-140 OPS+ hitter. Plus Gold Glove defense. That’s a guy who should be in MVP consideration.
  23. soccer10k
    The other problem with Boyd going in 1 and 4 is you’ve set Shota up to go 2 and 5 in Milwaukee. Or if you’re going to go a pen game in Game 5, why not just do that in Game 1, then go Boyd-Shota-Taillon-Boyd so you have nobody going on short rest. Shota pitches in Wrigley and you hope the wind is blowing in.

    07: 3-0 sweep 08: 3-0 sweep 15: 4-0 sweep 17: 4-1 (down 3-0) 18: 1 run in 13 innings in WC game 20: 2-0 sweep 25: down 2-0 Cubs sure know how to get wiped out of a playoff series. I mean, they're all losses so the outcome isn't good, but you'd think there would be a few more 3-1/3-2/4-2's in there.

    Cubs went 7-0 against the Mets in 2015. Want to guess how the NLCS went?
