**** Reddick. I knew I coudn't count on that **** either.

what the ****. goddamn it Dave... should have started Puig.

If we lose tonight, I am starting a new campaign to get Toles and Reddick outta here.

**** Reddick.

I can handle losing. This is a great Cubs team. I cannot handle wetting the bed like we are so far.

Find the **** grit that got you here and put up a damn fight. We're the **** Dodgers dammit.

at least Kershaw seems to have found his control after that atrocity

do you think Puig would have gotten caught by a 6 year A ball catcher? I doubt it.

**** eh... another leadoff double.

great play by Turner, great catch, great look to the second before the throw to first to freeze the runner. great play.

if we come back to win, that play is gonna be the turning point.

Neddy · Post #1047 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 12:52 am

he's gonna spend 50 pitches through the first two... SMFH....

Why does Clayton not have his curve in the postseason?

I remember it was **** in Game 1 against the Mets.
It was not there in Game 1 against the Nats.

And now it's not here twice this series.

Neddy · Post #1049 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 12:52 am

Clayton is gonna need a couple of innings where he gets 1-2-3 with less than 10 pitches each.

fastball and sliders are power pitches. Curve is a touchy pitch. he is too **** amped up to throw a curve right now. besides, it maybe a game plan to save the curve for the second or third time around the lineup.

either way he needs to **** settle down and zone in. right now he is no better than Pedro just throwing and not pitching.

great job by Turner cutting that off. Toles had no chance at home plate. at least one of them is awake.

Quake Griffin · Post #1053 » by **Quake Griffin** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 12:59 am

He needs to settle down.

Hes blowing it.

Kilroy wrote:Yeah, absolutely. If he does that, he'll put all debate to rest and be the undisputed best pitcher in baseball. The unfortunate part is that even if he does that, it isn't a closeout game.

now I come to think that maybe the key of using Kershaw at his best in post season is to use him in a non-elimination situation.

Neddy · Post #1056 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 1:06 am

at least we start from the top of the order next inning.

Neddy · Post #1057 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 1:07 am

I blame Dave for not starting Kershaw in game 5. in a non-elimination game at home, he would have done so much better.

Neddy · Post #1058 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 1:08 am

he is throw a curve from the second go around...

Neddy · Post #1059 » by **Neddy** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 1:11 am

another double...

Quake Griffin · Post #1060 » by **Quake Griffin** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 1:15 am

He started an elimination game last year in Queens and was great.

He's just sucking now.
No excuses.
No need to blame anyone else.
