2018-10-02 (& 03): Wild Card Playoff Games

This ump is giving the Cubs lots of extra strikes..... has that been mentioned yet?

[adambr2]

Heyward is so bad it is just funny looking at the contract they gave him. Add in Darvish and Chatwood and how much talent they gave up in trades the past few years and the Cubs really pissed away the huge advantage they had in the division.

 

I caught a lot of flack for this earlier in the season but the Cubs went from a team I thought would reign supreme in the division for at least 6 or 7 years to one on equal footing with the top teams very fast. They are a really good team but they do not stand out above the other very good teams in the game at this point.

 

I don't understand why we get so many posts during the season, "Oh, Theo is so good. Theo this, Theo that. Hamels, Murphy, Theo is great!"

 

Theo is fine for a big market GM. He has also pissed away a ton of money on bad contracts.

 

I'd say he did a lot better job rebuilding the Cubs than he has done maintaining them as a contender.

I can't stand ARod

Well if the Cubs lose they certainly can’t blame the umps. Do you know how much it takes to get me to agree with Mendoza?

[jjfanec]

Watching other team's pinch hitters go up there makes me really appreciate the depth that Stearns acquired

[Boomer5]

Seriously just watch the statcast broadcast. The espn one is unwatchable.

[Ennder]

I wonder if the Rockies will consider going with starter Antonio Senzatela if extra innings continue on?

 

The Rockies bullpen is very deep, they have 3 or 4 more arms that are better than going to Senzatela imo. The longer this game goes the bigger the advantage is for the Rockies.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Rockies offense is atrocious.

[Boomer5]

It’s odd seeing a Rockies team that can’t hit.

Aww man, I totally forgot they were doing this. I'm kicking myself now for torturing myself for more than a full game listening to the ESPN guys.

[MrTPlush]

Man this tie game has me thinking about buying Sunday tickets if the Cubs win...but a bunch of rain in the weekend forecast makes me want to puke thinking about it.

 

This is why Miller Park is better. Always a game, no rain BS to worry about.

I loved the mistake on the stat cast broadcast with Butera batting. It showed he had a WAR of over 8.0!

[homer]

Oh

[mtrebs]

It’s probably not the case, but it seems whenever the Cubs go to extras they walk off in the bottom of the 10th.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Zobrist holds the bat like a 90 year old woman fighting off a mugger.

You also said you were sure they'd win in the bottom of the 9th ...

[liveforoctober]

Keep burning through pitchers boys. Let's get Hamels in this game.

Had no idea! Thanks!

[bigredrobbo]

Terrance Gore time!

[dlk9s]

I kind of want to see this little dude walk it off.

*keep. My bad.

[homer]

I kind of want to see this little dude walk it off.

 

I think he'd have to walk out to the wall and get a spotter to help him throw the ball over the wall.

Did I? I thought I just said it feels like a Cubs walkoff game.

 

Edit: Although that does sound like something I’d say...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Terrance Gore time!

 

Time was short
