first to 15 wins

 

[AnimeFantasy]

Maddon is pulling him after 1?

Thank god.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Joe Maddon is fucking dumb

 

[kendrid]

Maddon is pulling him after 1?

Thank god.

This. I am slightly less nervous now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

This could have been Lackey's time to shine.

 

[clemenx]

Dodgers must be pretty happy.

 

[Windu]

Jose Quintana eh?

Dodgers masturbating furiously.

This could have been Lackey's time to shine.

Game 1 NLCS starter.

 

[AnimeFantasy]

Lackey probably would have eaten what ever ump tried to call a ball and gotten tossed.

 

[shwimpy]

This game is God's gift to Dodgers fans.

 

[jman2050]

This game is a disaster on every level.

 

[DirtyManos]

Dodgers must be pretty happy.

As a Dodgers fan, this game is exactly what I hoped for.

 

[zulux21]

I'm torn... on one hand I still like Q and want him to suceed.

on the other hand I want the cubs to lose and think that bringing in Q to relieve is a bad idea lol.

he tends to take a little bit of time to find his grove, and often nibbles to much after getting strikes early on.

 

[TheCochese]

This game might end Saturday.

 

[Syphon Filter]

This game might end Saturday.

 

[zulux21]

now would be a fine time for a werth home run.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

God damn it. I was hoping this game would be over when my Evil Within 2 pre-load unlocks in 20 minutes. lol

 

[Velcro Fly]

I'm super glad I don't have to work tomorrow.

 

[reggieandTFE]

That first pitch to Werth was a ball? This ump has been bad, bad, bad.

 

[kendrid]

Double play time

 

[zulux21]

That first pitch to Werth was a ball? This ump has been bad, bad, bad.

yeah.... the ump seems to have a higher zone, not giving much low, but that was closer to the middle of the zone than bottom by pitch tracking on gameday.

turned on the audio... the nats announcers are talking about how long the cubs stick with Q with the cubs closer ready....

I don't think you want to bring in a closer for 2.2 innings

 

[mjp2417]

The Lobaton double switch after refusing to pinch hit for Wieters in order to get Lobaton up 2nd next inning is somehow even more inexplicable than Girardi's non-challenge.

 

[clemenx]

I hate the Nats obviously but a Harper slam would make me hard.

 

[blackaroni]

The sacks are juiced.

 

[gamz]

Jesus. This game.

 

[TheCochese]

Good lord stop walking people.

 

[jman2050]

Oh my god Bryce Harper with the bases loaded.

 

[Mrbob]

So many walks.

This game is slipping away.

 

[nnex]

Framing isn't exactly one of Contreras' strong suits.

 

[Malo]

And batting a guy with a 88 wRC+ second over guys like Murphy and Rendon.

Dusty Baker in 2017

 

[zulux21]

I hate the Nats obviously but a Harper slam would make me hard.

regardless this is a great moment. no matter how it turns out.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I hate the Nats obviously but a Harper slam would make me hard.

why would you hate the nats?

 

[TheCochese]

why would you hate the nats?

Why wouldn’t we?

 

[zulux21]

sac fly for one, not great, but better than nothing.

oh boy, a 7 out close for davis eh?

 

[Velcro Fly]

This zone is clearly trash. Both teams cannot get any calls low at all. And anytime they come up shit is getting hammered. Guys are walking and walking and walking because pitchers are trying to nibble low and keep the ball down and it is leading to walks galore.

 

[reggieandTFE]

Framing isn't exactly one of Contreras' strong suits.

Yep, he looks bad by the eye test and the stats echo that.

[Mrbob]

7 out save???

 

[jman2050]

That was such a meatball, the Cubs lucked out hard.

 

[TheDanimal]

When will the cubs run out of pitchers???

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Wade this early wow

 

[JohnTinker]

this is the greatest game for the doyers

 

[grandjedi6]

When will the cubs run out of pitchers???

When we have to put out Lackey

 

[captmcblack]

Man...I really want to see the Nats find a way to pull it out here.

Sorry Cubbies.

 

[clemenx]

Damn 7 outs for Davis.

 

[RumblingRosco]

These teams can both lose for all I care and I'm still sweating. It's not a pretty game, but it sure is exciting.

 

[Doogdogg]

Where's Lester?

 

[grandjedi6]

this is the greatest game for the doyers

Yeah. Whoever makes it out of here is dead for Saturday

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Where's Lester?

Pitched last game

 

[bebop242]

Where's Lester?

Pitched in relief yesterday.

 

[zulux21]

oh wow... last time davis has pitched more than an inning was in the 2014 playoffs. (two innings there)

the last time he pitched over two innings was in 2013 during the last time he started.


I wonder how this will turn out.

 

[jman2050]

This game is really going to come down to John Lackey isn't it.
