Frank seems to be mad how casual of a baseball fan I am. :(
|
Hell, I still don't know his name.
|
Wish someone would tell John Smoltz that the word is "height", not "heighth".
|
Why can't Lester throw to first base? Does he just not like to do it or does he have some prior injury that prevents it?
|
yah. He's got the yips throwing there. Cubs are aware of it. One of the reasons David Ross has 6 pickoffs this year.
|
Nobody bunts/steals anymore so this quip of Lester's hasn't been overexposed as much as you'd think. Indians can do both of those though as we saw in the 1st.
|
Feels like that is the first legit run of the game.
|
Wonder if Miller and Chapman had a convo with each other talking about how happy they were traded this year.
|
Maddon with another "cute" decision with coghlan.
|
this game is over
|
Lol at the Indians center fielder missing the double play.
|
Damn. That was insane.
|
christ Miller is ridiculous
|
damn
|
David Ross had the chance to put himself in the lead for 2016 World Series MVP to go along with his 1908 World Series MVP award.
|
SWUNG ON AND MISSED!! sucka

Most of the time he was either injured or very inconsistent for quality. They probably would have kept him if they knew he'd stay consistently good afterwards or Sox pitching not being as bad as it was making him more valuable for trades. |
Seems like the Cubs did a lot of homework on Miller.
|
Really think the Indians need this game much more than the Cubs too.
|
This ump is on the cubs side and their still losing how embarrassing sucka's

Also, I would have gone lester, Lackey, Hendricks, Arrieta if I were Maddon. I don't trust Arrieta right now.
|
Leading up to this, it felt like the cubs are just happy to be here which is extremely disappointing considering they won 103 games. They partied like they won it all when they won the pennant.
|
Ball game, maggle.

Another lineup without Heyward. At least it's Soler.

Go CUBBIES!!!!!!!
Schwarber what a story. |
Joe Buck might wind up performing fellatio on Schwarber before the series is over.
Not sure I'd blame him. |
Trying to imagine a Joe Buck and Joe Morgan commentary team for this.
|
I'd leave Arrieta in the game for 150 pitches if it means a no hitter.
|
Should I wear my Andre Dawson Road Expos Jersey or Mark Grace traditional home pinstripes to game 5?
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...5b5568ba7e.jpg http://www.cubsgearshop.com/598-home...MLB-Jersey.jpg Probably Cubs gear, right? |
This is why the Indians needed to win game 1.
|
Was just gonna say those who said as much were spot fucking on. Their rotation after Kluber is lacking and you can't rely on long relief dominance from your bullpen every night.
Smoltz making a point about Arrieta being in the dugout twice as long than on the mound. I feel like that eliminates pitch countv fatigue. He's just cruising and getting a nice long break to catch his breath. |
I can stop holding my breath now.
|
Of course I mention that and Arrieta runs outta gas. Oh well. Strong performance.
|
Drebin still :heart: u DR2
|
Drebin, you handsome bastard.
|
Shit, that Lindor flip could have been an all time classic.
|
I mean, not as sexy as Dave Wadding doing a moonsault off the upper deck during the Arizona Fall League, but nothing will ever reach that level for me again.
|
We all have our best moments. I'll take what I can get.
|
BALLGAME, MAGGLE!!
|
All they had to do was split. They did it. Go Cubs Go!

Who is the Indians third guy? Their secome guy seemed to have terrible stats this postseason going into that game.
|

Homefield advantage generally doesn't mean much in baseball but Wrigley is going to be absolutely bonkers. The Cubs rattling off 3 wins and winning the whole thing on Sunday wouldn't be too big of a shock to me. |

MLB announced they are going to review the Indians logo during this offseason due to growing complaints.
One reason is due to the club being split on keeping or dropping Chief Wahoo as a club logo. Management's been trying to push for "C" to be the only logo used but deferred to the players who voted for Chief Wahoo to be used during this playoffs. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ring-offseason |
What exactly is MLB going to review? Are they going to do polling if somebody is offended or not? What % of the gen pop could make MLB act on something that stupid? What % of real "Indians" need to be offended to address the change...

The argument resurfaces once in a while. Braves usually take some heat, too. But they've been left alone lately. |
I can't wait for everyone to get up and arms over the Cowboys name in 5 years.
|
Redskins should move to Boise Idaho.
Indians should move to India. Problems solved |
Quote:
At least in the Redskins case, the name itself used to be a slur against Native Americans. With the Indians, its usually their mascot getting the brunt of complaints because of it being seen as a negative stereotype. Believe most of the complaints against the Braves is more due to the Tomahawk chop and chant their fans like to do than the name itself. |
I have complete faith with this world to find something negative to say about it.

Carlos Santana leading off and playing LF for the Indians. First career start in LF.
Gutsy. |
Hendricks is a fucking beast with that pickoff move.

Grimm coming thru big time there

Massive dp

And by dp I'm talking about double penetration because I'm watching porn.

Frank Drebin is my kinda guy

26 games in ws history scoreless through 6 so assuming rarer as the game moves along

Really feel this game will end 1-0.

Agreed. 90 more feet is a long way. He barely made it to third as it was.
|
Damn. Taking pitches over the heart of the plate, swinging at balls in the dirt.
|
He's due
|
Series is over if the Cubs win this. No team can recover from a loss like this.
|
God dammit. Would have marked out for some Baez magic at the 11th hour.
|
Still...only a 1-0 loss, Cubs bats I think will fare better seeing Kluber a second time. Tough lineup to hold down 2 nights in a row.
|
Crazy how good Indians pitching and bullpen is this post season. 5 shut outs so far.
|
#FUCKOFFCLEVELAND
|
gonna be a longgggg series.
|
Yup. Game 1 Indians needed to win. Game 4 though Cubs need to win with Lackey pitching. Going to be an interesting game.
|
Drebin was right. Cubs struggle against guys who attach the in the strike zone. Tonight's obvs a must win.
|
I hate how even in the regular season pitching performances are all or nothing. If they give up more than 2 runs by the end of the 6th inning, they get yanked. You barely ever see a guy pitch 8 innings and give up 4 runs or 3 runs in 7 innings. I guess it has everything to do with the 100 pitch limit, but i feel like it's some kind of pussification of starting pitchers.
|
Booze and cocaine being blamed as the cause behind Jose Fernandez's death last month.
Quote:
|
probably not too much of a shock for anyone, and it doesn't make it any less sad.
|
What a piece of shit
|
What is Lackey doing right now
|
Feel bad for Lackey. Defense is playing like shit.
|
I really like how everyone seems to be okay getting a hit I the playoffs but do it during the regular season everyone is always pissy.

Does whomever win tonight get to have another champagne party?
|
Should have sold tomorrow's game. Gonna be cold af and prices are tanking so it almost seems futile to sell. If Indians clinch tomorrow there might be some very drunk and upset cubs fans. More worried about that than I would have been if they'd won.
|
Duh? In game 7 you get one for every run you score too.
|
Yeah, I thought whenever you took a lead in the series you had one.
|
Fav part of the champagne parties are the ass hat employees of the team who have nothing to do with the game but find themselves in the clubhouse for the party and just kinda stand around smiling in their khakis with ill-fitting team apparel on over their business casual colored shirt.
|
Here's management's favorite pet, Chris Coghlan. Why is he here and not Tommy La Stella or another pitcher? Fn redundant.
|
This sucks. At least it isn't another round of God Bless America.
|
Pretty sure RP went into a death pact with some Craigslist girl he met if the Cubs lose.
|
How deep is the Cubs relief pitchers?
|
Chapman, Strop and Monty are trustworthy at this time. Rondon usually is but isn't now. Grimm had gone up and down but is up right now. Travis wood would be a situational lefty right now. Overall good. They made their big trades this year to strengthen the pen since that was their biggest weakness early in the year.
|
Damn, that's a lot of relief pitchers who are good with Lackey coming out early.
