QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 08:56 PM) Wood's velocity is real bad considering the rest he's had It's been the case for the entire second half. He was good in the first half cause he was throwing 93. Now he's throwing 90.

Bellinger hits one out.

Wood's making way too many mistakes.

Is it just me or does Contrearas look like Miguel Cabrera up there? His stance is really similar.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 08:09 PM) Control bad? That's been his problem for the past year and a half.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) Lineups for tonight's game. Dodgers 1) Taylor SS 2) Bellinger 1B 3) Turner 3B 4) Puig RF 5) Ethier LF 6) Granderson CF 7) Grandal C 8) Utley 2B 9) Wood P Flubs 1) Almora CF 2) Schwarber LF 3) Bryant 3B 4) Rizzo 1B 5) Contreras C 6) Russell SS 7) Baez 2B 8) Jay RF 9) Arrieta P It took way too long for Puig to start hitting 4th.

Maddon's decision to not use Davis in game 2 looks even worse now. Game 3 was basically a blowout.

Don't throw Ross Strippling out there again.

Ova.

Umps bailing the Cubs out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 11:01 PM) Not with this bullpen, they could wear basketball jersey Speedo pajamas on their next flight and these guys would still suck. That Justin Wilson trade was an epic fail, Avila came in handy during the Contreras injury, but the division was theirs anyway and Wilson got taken off the roster. They would have been better off trading for Anthony Swarzak lol.

Nothing going right for the Cubs.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:33 PM) I'm still so un impressed by the bottom half of their lineup, they are probably good vs splits, but it does not look like a 104 win lineup, even with Seager. It's cause guys like Barnes aren't big names. He was extremely productive this year. Plus lineups in the NL are usually pretty bad towards the backend.

Dodgers are hitting like crap with RISP.

Wind held that ball in. I thought that was gone by 20 feet.

Good lord the Cubs are playing like crap.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) It seemed like a stupid decision to bat Darvish there, but Roberts may be vindicated as long as he doesn't get rocked in this inning. Edwards was just throwing too hard, but can't blame Maddon too much, that's still his 2nd best reliever. Darvish is awful the 4th time through the order. He's probably done after 6 anyhow.

lmao Carl Edwards really can't throw a strike to Yu Darvish?

I don't know how Puig doesn't go there. You have the pitcher coming up. You have to take a chance there.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 16, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) Wow. Yankees sure love home cooking. 1-4 on the road. Undefeated at home in the playoffs.

A couple of interesting facts: 1. The last walk-off home run by the Dodgers in the post-season was Kirk Gibson's famous walk-off home run in 1988 on this date (October 15th) 2. Duensing preceded Ubaldo Jiminez taking the loss in last year's AL WC game after Showalter refused to use Zach Britton. Duensing also preceded John Lackey in a similar situation today.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 10:08 PM) The Dodgers are not the Nats. I can’t repeat this enough. They're also short of their best position player.

QUOTE (aryzner @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 10:01 PM) Just about every Justin Turner AB this series has been really impressive. Man, what a tough out he is. And to think he was a utility guy just a few years ago.

lol Maddon. Why are you saving Wade Davis? I thought Maddon was beyond that kind of management, but I guess not.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 09:52 PM) I know you are playing for one run here, but I still can’t stand giving away outs Not liking what Roberts did at all. Better hope they get that run in this inning, cause they took Jansen out for a third string catcher to pinch hit.
