huge at-bat here. break him Gonzo.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Damn.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Lol what was that?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Kershaw is on point. Wonder how many innings he's got in him though.

 

[JDeluis]

What the heck was that?

 

[shwimpy]

LOL, who the hell does this guy think he is?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Terrible ab from Contreras

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Contreras knows that this is Game 2 of the NLCS right?

Not random game in June

 

[reggieandTFE]

Lol what was that?

4th dimension strategy. Why is Heyward playing over Soler against Kershaw?

 

[Beckx]

Kershaw is on point. Wonder how many innings he's got in him though.

He said he was ready to go the distance but who knows.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Cubs aren't really making Kershaw work at all.

This looks like a bullpen session right now

 

[Velcro Fly]

4th dimension strategy. Why is Heyward playing over Soler against Kershaw?

Better defender. Both are probably equally bad against Kershaw

 

[thefro]

Better defender. Both are probably equally bad against Kershaw

Soler is 1-3 with triple against Kershaw I believe.

 

[J2 Cool]

Rizzo time!

PFTCommenter is sitting behind home plate next to Marlins Man tonight #Marlinswoman

 

[Mrbob]

Kershaw on point tonight. Hopefully the Cubs pitching staff doesn't give up more runs.

 

[shwimpy]

jebus.

 

[Windu]

I may be biased but I like Smoltz's commentary.

 

[Meier]

This game is flying.

 

[RBH]

What's the deal with Marlins guy? And how does he have so much money to go to all these playoff games?

He's an attention whore

 

[thefro]

Props to the Cubs for playing clean, because you could easily manufacture something to get Kershaw out of the game here if you wanted to play dirty.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Kershaw has more hits than the Cubs

 

[Frozenprince]

Hendricks is such a weird pitcher, he's basically Clippard if he had learned one more change grip and remained a starter, but it works.

Bizarre.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Hendricks has basically done his job. One mistake to Gonzalez is why it is 1-0. Kershaw has just been Kershaw. Cubs offense this postseason has been awful.

 

[JDeluis]

Hendricks has basically done his job. One mistake to Gonzalez is why it is 1-0. Kershaw has just been Kershaw. Cubs offense this postseason has been awful.

Um. Yeah. No. what?

 

[brianjones]

Bizarre.

his stuff never seems that impressive but you can't argue with his numbers

 

[Velcro Fly]

Um. Yeah. No. what?

3-4-5 hitters tonight have like 5 combined hits. Bryant, Baez, and in the NLDS the pitchers hit well. Otherwise it has been rough.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Cubs hitters are getting shots off Kershaw. Is the wind not blowing as hard tonight?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

2 balls actually hit hard. Promising.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Rick Porecllo the best pitching coach in the Majors

 

[Frozenprince]

his stuff never seems that impressive but you can't argue with his numbers

He's basically what Keuchel was last year just longer and with a better out pitch (circle change).

 

[Mrbob]

Cubs finally starting to hit Kershaw a bit harder this inning.

Hendricks has basically done his job. One mistake to Gonzalez is why it is 1-0. Kershaw has just been Kershaw. Cubs offense this postseason has been awful.

I agree it's been bad but tonight they are facing a top tier pitcher. No shame in getting beat by Kershaw if he is on his game.

 

[shwimpy]

7th inning come early?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Kershaw barely at 50 pitches. Outside of this inning Cubs not exactly making him work.

Baez is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

 

[darkside31337]

I cannot believe he let Heyward actually hit in that situation. Might be the only time they see a RISP all night.

 

[Frozenprince]

I cannot believe he let Heyward actually hit in that situation.

Needs to save the bench, nobody off it was getting Kershaw either.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Nothing kills a rally like a Jason Heyward AB!

 

[darkside31337]

Needs to save the bench, nobody off it was getting Kershaw either.

They were going to use Soler to replace Hendricks. Should have just used Soler to PH for Heyward.

 

[shwimpy]

Reddick trade paying off.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Surprised Maddon isn't going lefty against Pederson. He can't hit lefties for shit.

 

[Chris R]

No IFR call there?

 

[Velcro Fly]

Javy Baez playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers

 

[J2 Cool]

This fucking guy

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Wow haha

 

[thefro]

No IFR call there?

It was closer to a soft line drive than a pop-up.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

This has all the makings of a game that the Dodgers lose after the bullpen blows a Kershaw QS

 

[ElNino]

No IFR call there?

No infield fly, but still bush league. That's the kind of play that gets you in trouble in my
