thanks to internet, I can still watch this game when my paid TV fails me.... great K by Maeda. maybe he is finally settling down. 3 runs we can overcome, just gotta handle it from here on

...and Kenta gives up a runner on first...

Man, I knew the Cubs' defense would be a difference-maker but this is outrageous.

Cubs have the best defense for the ages, even better than the KC's WS team.

thats a mother **** strike you **** blind ump!!!!!!!

Maeda is still the better option than Avilan. let's keep Luis where he is at.

Big surprise. We're getting jobbed by the umps again.

Maeda has finally gotten some result.

now lets find some gaps!!! we have been hitting hard enough!

I am and have been 100% on board with computer dependent strike zone and calls.

and our idiot commish is talking about eliminating defensive shifts, introducing DH in NL, and all the while allowing the umps to butcher the calls. ask any and every baseball fan and the #1 problem we all have is the bad calls determining the outcome of the game, not the speed of the game.

Preach, brother! Preach!

Hallelujah! Ethier with a pinch-hit HR!

Baez need to throw strikes whether he gets hit or not.

FUX!

I hate relief pitchers coming out of the pen and immediately walk a batter

Neddy · Post #334 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 16, 2016 1:54 am

keep the ball down...

Neddy · Post #335 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 16, 2016 1:56 am

1-2 count. no need to throw a strike. get him to swing at a ball down!

Neddy · Post #336 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 16, 2016 1:57 am

WOW Ruiz did the exact opposite and made it work, what do I know about baseball?

great call and great execution right there. now go get that GIDP!

Neddy · Post #337 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 16, 2016 2:00 am

we get this third out, the momentum is turning. Lester might only have 4 hits and 1 BB given up but he was hit hard all through out, and only have 2 K to show for. we are gonna destroy him in the next 2 innings as long as we execute! come on Pedro get the third out right here and lets turn the tide!

Neddy · Post #338 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 16, 2016 2:03 am

I had already prepared for the scenario where we lose the game 1 but win game 2 and 3 behind Kershaw and Hill, but can you imagine how devastating it will be for the Cubs if they lose behind Lester in game 1 against our Maeda?

come on lets go Baez! get that third out!

Neddy · Post #339 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 16, 2016 2:10 am

come on Seager, the old man Andre did what you are supposed to do!
