See also: Soler over Heyward not even close. Soler is an OF. Santana is a bad first baseman. And Heyward is a gold glover. The point stands, the benefit of the bad outweighs the difference in the glove.

Schwarber: Fully torn ACL and LCL. Out for 172 meaningless games.

There's a good chance it'll be hilarious, but Francona is smart to put him out there. The benefit of his bat outweighs the likelihood that this is a close game decided by the quality of the Indians LF. See also: Soler over Heyward

If so, would it be too much to hope for that they take it down and NOT replace it? To me, it just doesn't look right at Wrigley. Too yuppie or something. It's going to pay for Bryant's contract in six years. I say we keep it.

Take us home Fred.

There's a bigger gap this year than for his career, .236/.305/.385 vs LHB, .253/.333/.399 vs RHB this year in about the same amount of innings/batters faced. For his career it's pretty neutral... .235/.327/.391 vs LHB and /.249/.329/.405. vs RHB Even if was even, Joe is justified in not going all lefties like last night.

I went Bryant shirsey for the last 4 games and am switching to Rizzo shirsey tonight. If we lose again I might have to bust out the Santo jersey that I've kept on ice so far this playoffs. I've been in a Bryant jersey. I have the Santo ready for tonight.

Nude But if you remove his case, you void his warranty. this meme NEVER gets old. Not sarcasm. I love it.

VERY close. For some reason it's burned in my memory to this day, too. I believe it's Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-B-A-Select Start Minus the select. Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-B-A- Start

I missed the last 30 pages because I was watching the game. Just checked in to say the Cubs still have this. This is the game you expected to lose if you were going to lose any of them. Obviously you don't want to lose any of them, but I think you know what I'm saying. Kluber was unhittable last night. Tip your cap and kill their mortal pitchers. Then get to Kluber on short rest. Cubs in 5.

If this thread tells us anything, it should tell us that we need to behave ourselves. People are watching.

To come to the conclusion that you don’t want to start Heyward against a right-handed pitcher, you have to put a lot of weight on his 2016 performance, believing that he’s currently unable to hit anywhere near his career levels for one reason or another. http://i2.wp.com/i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/210/116/youdontsay.jpg?resize=433%2C368

Glad to see you're ok.

Bats RH. Also career 1.000 OPS against Kluber ... (in 3 at bats) Not saying I'm on board, but thats the reason.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxoMbEZbXZc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyWmL0ENdxI Not sure if you are trying to debunk the claim that Soler can't hit when its under 50 degrees, but Game time temp for Game 2 in St. Louis was 70 degrees and for Game 3 against the Mets it was 72. Just giving Soler some love.

I'd be stunned if Heyward isn't playing RF tonight. Given that the Cubs are 4-41 lifetime against Kluber, Maddon is likely to put his best LH hitters in there with correlated splits. Bauer and Tomlin are inverse splits LH/RH so expect Contreras in LF when Montero catches Jake. In fact, I see it this way with what the Indians are doing: Game 1: C, Ross - LF, Zobrist - RF, Heyward Game 2: C, Montero - LF, Contreras - RF, Zobrist Game 3: C, Contreras - LF, Zobrist - RF, Heyward Soler cannot hit when it is under 50 degrees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxoMbEZbXZc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyWmL0ENdxI

I'd say it's more of a can't lose than a must win Certainly a do-not-tie.
-
If Maddon keeps this simple and goes with the "no regrets" lineup, the lineup least likely to have you kicking yourself over with the WS on the line, that would be my lineup for tonight. I think my lineup would be this, but switching Zo and Schwarber. Maybe Baez at 3rd.

Are you kidding me with this horsefeathers? Is he.......... badgering you? :hello:
