QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 04:37 AM) Playoff baseball is pretty horrendous to watch Games have been pretty boring. That Indians series was painful to watch. Basically the team that scores first is winning every game

Awful performance

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 03:29 AM) Some more pathetic defense by the Dodgers Been very sloppy in their losses in the field and on the bases.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 04:22 AM) This is what several of us suggested earlier concerning Kershaw. You HAD to pitch Kershaw. If you lose, you lose with best and by then it'll all but be done anyway. If you win with him Dodgers are 3-2 going into Wrigley, which is obviously different than down 3-2 with Kershaw going on the road in an elimination game. Yes, even with Kershaw it may have still been the same score. I just feel it was a risk I wouldnt take I really wonder if deep down they felt they would struggle to even score a run against Lester and didn't want to waste Kershaw? It would be a playing not to lose mentality....but so is not pitching him tonight

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 03:19 AM) Dearlord take second. He can easily take second or easily get picked off with a good throw. They psyched themselves out tonight. Could see it right away when Hernandez reached. Too busy trying to distract Lester tonight

Heck of a play but these hitters seemed defeated coming into this game

Heyward is something awful at the plate

This is the guy he decided to lead off https://mobile.twitter.com/truebluela/statu...212204134379520

Shocked Ruiz as cleanup isn't working out

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 03:36 AM) Yep. No one in the National League has an offense that can hang with the Cubs unfortunately. Giants and Dodgers have some straight up scrubs in their starting lineups. Nationals before Ramos/Stras injury was biggest threat

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 03:34 AM) Yeah. Rich Hill and Jansen have been garbage this series. Hill barely pitched for them all year. Makes you wonder how they won so many games

Roberts is so quick to pull everyone but allows Blanton to get pounded

Dodgers suck outside of Kershaw starting

f*** off Blanton. Why did they pitch to him there? Roberts and Blanton are MVP for Cubs

Pederson is terrible

Gift run!

God help us if they don't overturn this

Question I have about Dodgers is why didn't they go after more righty bats at the deadline? The main guy they acquired is literally one of the worst hitters vs LHP (Reddick)

At least if he faces the Indians, they will try to run wild on him

Just can't hit lefties, sad

I like Sczur but that was a horrible interview. Amazing how anything and everything the Cubs do is made to seem like the biggest deal ever.

Lester is on the best run of pitching with RISP I have ever seen. Simply unbelievable

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 01:41 AM) The explanation Verducci gave is because Ruiz hit two balls hard against Lester in Game 1. 2nd and 4th hitter now 0-32 in career vs Lester

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 01:39 AM) Ruiz is 0-16 against Lester and he is batting 4th, why? Roberts has been so dumb this series. Also don't like Kendrick so high in the order. He sucks now

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 12:10 AM) Carlos Ruiz batting cleanup? No wonder the Dodgers stink vs LHP 0-14 in career off Lester also
