Maeda hits Heyward on a 1-2 count. Now there are 2 on base and nobody out.

gotta get a K right here to set up for a GIDP.

Neddy · Post #887 » by **Neddy** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 1:30 am

or go for GIDP with Russell. he is slightly more prone to GIDP than Ross.

David Ross I remember as a young dodger catcher was a pull hitter. if still, gotta go away

Maeda is throwing his slider a lot. While he has a good feel for it tonight, the Cubs know it's coming and have been laying off it.

Neddy · Post #893 » by **Neddy** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 1:37 am

YES!!!!

oh come on Dave let Maeda get this last out!

Neddy · Post #894 » by **Neddy** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 1:37 am

**** if you are gonna pull Maeda for a reliever, might as well bring in a lefty! what the f!

I am scared of Fields coming in here.

Would be huge for him to get 4 outs.

Neddy · Post #896 » by **Neddy** » Fri Oct 21, 2016 1:40 am

man Josh better not bean, walk, or give up a hit to a goddamn pitcher right here

I prefer he is in for just this one out...

I'd normally be perturbed and want Maeda to finish out the inning, especially with the opposing pitcher at the plate, but Maeda was becoming predictable even if he was gutting it out admirably. I feel comfortable with Fields but he's thrown 3 straight pitches out of the strike zone with Lester bailing him out by swinging at the 3rd one. Luckily, Fields gets us out of the inning with the Dodgers still trailing by a single run but Dayton is now up in the pen and I have little faith in him at the moment.
