Other Chicago & General Sports Thread LV: NLCS Time

Missed it.

Don't understand pulling Q when the bullpen is the weakest link on the team right now. Joe's undying love and affection for Schwarber may cost the team the series. La Stella is a major upgrade on offense and defense and the type of bat we need against a guy like Scherzer. I just don't f***ing get it.

 

[zac]

Goddammit, Strop is so hittable.

As is most of the bullpen right now.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Four errors. Ridiculous.

 

[Easy E]

If Zobrist doesn't get pinched for, I'm just going to drive off a bridge.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Agree Zac. There was zero reason to pull him. Maddon managing this team out of wins yet again.

Achwarber looked like a 70yo guy running for that ball then crocodile arming it.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Happ was our hottest hitting going into playoffs and I don’t think he has had a sniff yet.

This. La Stella and Happ over Schwarber all day long. I mean, one could have made the argument for leaving Kyle off the playoff roster completely. Even if we all knew he would likely start as Maddon's hard on for him hasn't went flaccid all year long.

 

[TorMenT]

What is Maddon's love with pulling starters after like 1 hit starting in the 5th-6th (or in this case 1 error)?

On a Hunch

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Great play there. Breathed some life back in the ballpark.

 

[RayP]

Scherzer just hit?


Dusty has gone full Dusty. Never go full Dusty.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Oh jeez, just stick with Harry Caray for the stretch in the playoffs, Cubs.

 

[Easy E]

Scherzer just hit?


Dusty has gone full Dusty. Never go full Dusty.

Disagree

 

[RayP]

Disagree

I thought his pitch count was a bit higher.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Have they had anything even close to a hit?

 

[Easy E]

Holy f***. Bite my f***ing tongue Zobi

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Have they had anything even close to a hit?

Yes

 

[zac]

hey!

 

[sugoi88]

Cannot believe Baker is taking Scherzer out

 

[zac]

Thank god he got Kyle out of there.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Yesssssssss. Get more

 

[Easy E]

DUSTY

 

[hawksrule]

We were all thinking it.

 

[zac]

Are you f***ing [mod] Heyward? There is no reason for him to be that far off when on first base. Terrible base running right there.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Come on.... I get that you're trying to capitalize, but that's just bad to have that turned into a double play.
