QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) The Bears aren't winning this game today so much as the Lions are losing it. Two muffed punts and Stafford being stupid.

Stafford sucks.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) I think that play is more on Joey bats. That's a much easier play for the right fielder, he should have called him off. It looked like Goins called him off.

Did they think the Lions got screwed over too many times by that rule or something? lol

How is that a TD?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 17, 2015 -> 10:42 PM) He's a left handed power infield bat and can play a couple of positions but yeah I get it. He doesn't have a lot of power.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) Can't believe Rizzo went first pitch swinging after the Familia walk to Bryant, thought he had a good chance to tie it up. Yeah I was a bit worried Familia was going to blow it. He's pitched so much and he's had stretches where he sucked in the regular season.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 17, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) Some reason three at Wrigley scares me. A win will be huge for the Mets tomorrow. Beating Arrieta won't be easy, but if he pitches like he did against the Cards, he's going to have some issues.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 17, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) Just tuned into channel 2. Media in denial already. Well,we lost to the cards in the first game and looked what happened! Totally not the same this time around. The Mets' pitching is on another level.

What a play by Murphy!

Soler looked terrible in that AB.

I feel like there's actually a chance Murphy's safe here. I thought he was safe in real time.

How many innings are they going to have Familia throw? I'm afraid he'll break down later on in the playoffs.

Schwarber absolutely punishes mistakes. A lot like Adam Dunn (when he was good) in that regard. Good to see Harvey pitch well. I think he was probably one of the bigger question marks for this Mets team going into the playoffs.

d'Arnaud makes it 3-1

So is Harvey's innings limit still an issue?

Goins pretty much cost the Jays that game. Price was untouchable up until that error they called a hit.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 17, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) that ball that hit rizzo was not that far from being a strike Rizzo's right on top of the plate. That's why he led baseball in HBP this year.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 11:34 AM) With all the appearances by deGrom and Thor, I kind of forgot about Matt Harvey and the fact that he is probably their best pitcher. Interesting match-up with one team hoarding young pitchers vs. the other hoarding young hitters. Eh, I'd say deGrom is their best pitcher. It's Harvey's first year back from TJ and to be honest, he hasn't been that great since his good start to the season.

So I guess Harvey is going game 1?

Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 1h1 hour ago How long for mask? "I hate getting my face touched so if I’m feeling it and we’re playing good, you might see it for the rest of my career" You need a second eye to get depth perception...so I don't know how he can play with only one eye.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 01:54 PM) Lester vs. Anderson/Wood/Syndergaard - game 1 Arrieta vs. Kershaw/Harvey - game 2 I would really prefer the Mets to win today. 3 very reliable starters and a pretty good one in Matz.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 01:30 PM) Russell is out for the NLCS with a hammy according to Jesse Rogers. Is La Stella going to play SS then? There's no way Castro plays short again right?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 01:12 AM) Why wouldn't he be starting game 3 on full rest next Tuesday? I thought today was Thursday for some reason...but yeah, he would be ready to go for game 3. But you said he won't be ready until game 7 so I was confused by that.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 14, 2015 -> 11:54 PM) The Royals already have something of a difficult decision. They can start Ventura on 3 day's rest, and they would be going back to back with that. On the other hand, he didn't pitch close to a full game in the (first) rain delay (in middle of the game) start. Volquez is the other option here. So it's an interesting decision. Cueto definitely won't go until game 3, and he's basically refusing to go on 3 days, so that means some combination of Volquez/Ventura in Games 1/2. http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_...edinson-volquez .714 OPS against by the Blue Jays (active players), but only a .227 average. http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_...yordano-ventura .693 OPS for Ventura against Toronto, .217 BAA. Game 1 starter would have to go on 3 day's rest on Tuesday (Game 4/October 20th) or they will have to start Medlen/Duffy/Guthrie/Chris Young instead. I'm not sure they can afford to do that if they're down 2-1 in the series. Finally, Cueto would be unavailable until a potentially-deciding Game 7, so the huge/pivotal Game 6 starter is a huge mystery as well for the Royals... No he'll be ready for game 4.
