2016 postseason game thread

[Neddy]

I feel confident going with Kershaw and Hill for game 6 and 7 if needed, I trust Urias will beat out Lackey tomorrow. Maeda better hold up and finish this series so we can start from Kershaw for game 1 of the World Series

I'm scared as hell about Urias, frankly... But I'm rooting for him. I can't imagine pitching at his age on this stage.

Fernando did

I have faith in Urias not only because of his stuff, but he has great competitive mental makeup. I'm more concerned with the amount of innings he'll provide for us but Dave Roberts said that he won't be on a pitch count as much as his outing being evaluated on his performance. While he's still immature physically with respect to arm development, he hasn't pitched much at all during the last month of the regular season or even the postseason. I certainly have more confidence in Urias than I do with Maeda right now.

Utley hasn't had a hit this post season, and I feel like it is gonna come at a very crucial moment tomorrow.

I miss Ryu. he would have been huge instead of Maeda.

He better. He's been a bit of a black hole offensively where I've been contemplating starting Howie Kendrick over him even with the right-handed pitcher opposing us.

He has the game winner in Game 4 against Was

He sure did. That was an amazing game

[Ranma]

I hope Ryu can still contribute for us next season and beyond, but to be honest, I'm not counting on him at this point until he shows he can stay healthy.

I trust him.

His make up is competitive as hell and I think that will dominate over any nerves or jitters.

I would like to keep Howie as a pinch hitter and defensive option for a double switch knowing Urias may not get past 5 tomorrow. Utley had a few good swings that just didn't get the barrel of the bat on, but timing was right on those. a few others he got the barrel on, timing was awful, naturally. but he is too good of a veteran with championship experience to go zip for forever

[Neddy]

Cubs are now officially out of bench players.

especially with 2-1 lead. it would have been a different story if we were down 1-2.

[Kilroy]

Sorry bro.

[Kilroy]

That looked like a strike

[Ranma]

Kenley Jansen comes in to relieve Grant Dayton for a 4-out save after he gave up the 2-out double in the 8th inning.

[Neddy]

4 outs to go and here comes the #74

[Neddy]

That looked like a strike

they usually are. we need computer strikes/balls judge badly. Eric Cooper missed more than a dozen strikes and called 6 balls a strike on Sunday.


YES! 3 more outs to go!!!!

[Quake Griffin]

Was wondering if we coulda saved Kenley for tomorrow.

Would anyone have taken that gamble?

[Kilroy]

Kenley just drove that by him... I mean I know that's his thing and all, but still... Damn.
