Strike zone for CJ feels nonexistent.

 

[J2 Cool]

Carl wants none of this. Not sure why Maddon can’t quit his hard-on for him

Bring in Wade jesus

 

[grandjedi6]

We got Bad Edwards today

 

[Velcro Fly]

Leaving him in for a 3rd guy after those first two is inexcusable in a one run game like this.

 

[mjp2417]

You gotta pull Edwards after that 2nd walk

 

[Mrbob]

Edwards going to cost the Cubs another game?

Here he comes.

I love CJ in theory but I'm tired of this shit.

 

[gamz]

This is the ballgame either way. 8th innings killed us all year.

 

[nnex]

That was dope.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Oh wow

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Fuck yeah, Mikey!

 

[Beckx]

Wader, check please

 

[mjp2417]

wow

 

[Doogdogg]

lmao wow

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Fuck

 

[Velcro Fly]

Joe Maddon bullpen management in the playoffs is and always has been atrocious. There is no excuse Rondon isn't on this playoff roster instead of John Lackey. Edwards has been too hit or miss in this series to trust out there in this game.

 

[Windu]

lol Cubs

 

[gamz]

Didn't think a homer was possible today. Yeah, tomorrow do or die.

 

[Rock And Roll]

I'm surprised a ball was hit out of the park given the conditions.

Edit:the replay from the stands, you could really see the wind knocking it down. Barely got out of there.

Yeah. He has no idea what to do

 

[grandjedi6]

Pull Lester a batter early

Let Edwards walk everyone

Put in Davis mid-batter



Why Maddon, why?

 

[Mrbob]

Whelp hello game five.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

LOL another error

EDIT: They gave him a hit for that? Okay, Wrigley score keeper...

 

[bebop242]

LOL another error

Might as well get those out of the way now. I guess.

 

[BFIB]

Going back to DC. Got a feeling the Nats are going to win this series.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

They don't call him baby faced assassin for no reason.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Maddon screwed the pooch and CEJ and Davis have compounded it

 

[Beckx]

We will beat him anyway

Life comes at you fast

 

[bebop242]

Oh look who pops up.


And I agree with you

 

[Velcro Fly]

Why is Wade Davis still in this game.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I kind of feel bad for Nats fans.

Every passing inning gives them more and more hope, hope that will just be crushed when they inevitably lose this game in the 9th

Yeah....

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Life comes at you fast

Came pretty close. I would have bet on us if it was still 1-0 going into the bottom of the 8th.

 

[ViciousDS]

Wade Davis was the last person I expected to blow that situation

 

[gamz]

At least I get to watch the game tomorrow.

 

[DireStr8s]

Excited for MAT but the Cubs still have six outs against the Nats bullpen.

It would have to be a epic 2003 Cubs 8th inning meltdown. Not happening.

 

[Beckx]

Me too.

All the games have been pretty tense.

Yeah I just don't get Maddon in the 8th here or in the other game they lost.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Cubs starting pitching deserves way better than what the Cubs bullpen has given them in these (probably) two losses.

Couldn't you say the same for the Nats given how well their starting pitching has generally done?

I mean... It is a Dusty Baker team

 

[DireStr8s]

Madson got touched a few times as the season winded down so I'm not exactly confidant.

 

[Mrbob]

KB off today that is a pitch he usually crushes.

Oh look who pops up.


And I agree with you

Hendricks got this. Big game pitcher.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I'm loving these TBS guys. Michael A. Turner. Mike Rizzo. Good stuff.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Also someone other than Rizzo needs to step up on offense.

 

[grandjedi6]

That was a battle

There's just no scoring in this weather. Well besides that damn grand slam.

 

[bebop242]

I'm not arguing that but Washington's momentum (that home crowd is going to go nuts), Scherzer pitching, bad Cubs hitting, spotty defense and relief pitching....its going to be tough.

Key will be to score early and maintain an early lead.

 

[gamz]

They are bound to bust out the bats eventually. Tomorrow would be nice.

Been a great series...
