Pence just missed that one.

Baez bails out Cubs catchers of so many bad throws. There's no reason Ross should be able to throw Span out there with that throw. But Baez's ability to put on a great tag got him.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) I had no idea Baez was this kind of defender. I knew he was good and versatile, but I question why they even bothered with Zobrist at 2B this year. Baez should be out there everyday.

Either the gun is fast or Lackey is throwing 95. I don't think I've seen him get up there this year. He's usually 91-93.

Early lead for the Giants.

I feel like the Dodgers are the better team. Kershaw should be able to go game 2 even if he went today.

Blue Jays are a lot of fun to watch.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:28 AM) Pretty sure Lester's brain would melt. And who knows if Chapman is rattled now or not. The fans and media really affect the mindset of the players IMO. Fans start panicking...players start panicking. There's a reason Cubs team of the past that played so well in the regular season have fallen on their faces in the playoffs.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:22 AM) Cubs fans at work panicking. I'm just minding my own business. If the Giants win today, the pressure on the Cubs will be catastrophic. Get ready for another collapse.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) Yeah I mentioned that yesterday. I was relieved how it turned out. I'm old enough to remember when being snarky and sarcastic was alternative. Now seeing someone as sincere as him is like seeing a unicorn. His appearance on Kimmel was great. I don't know if it was scripted or not, but he came off as a natural comedian.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 02:00 AM) Wow, not sure if Pete Rose is right, but he just said that the Cubs have hit .190 as a team this year versus sliders and curveballs. If true, Giants need to exploit the living hell out of that. Moore has a great curveball. +5.1 pitch value on it this year according to FanGraphs. Good for 9th best this year in baseball. Unfortunately, Samardzija had a +6.5 pitch value on his curve this year and the Cubs beat the s*** out of him. Cubs team as a whole vs. curveball: -1.8, 18th in baseball. Cubs vs. Slider: +13.3, best in baseball. Cubs struggle the most against changeups (-7.8, 23rd), which is Moore's third best pitch. Pete Rose was half right.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 01:56 AM) You won $25K? Holy s*** that's incredible. If I lost a few grand (with the opportunity to win 25) because of Sergio Romo, I'd hold a vendetta against him like no other.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 01:49 AM) that ballpark is absolutely garbage, it's f***ing 421 to triple's alley, that's a f***ing HR. I'm assuming you made some money? Edit: San Fran is also always 50-70 degrees, so the ball just does not carry. I'm not sure why the hell they designed the park that way. It absolutely saps a lefty's power.

Panik with the farthest hit ball all day.

Thank god!

HERE WE GO! Come on Giants, I want to go to sleep.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 01:39 AM) If they overturned it, they should riot. Seriously. I bet they were looking for ways to overturn that, but couldn't find any that wouldn't get scrutinized beyond belief.

Are they seriously taking this long to take a look at this? How in the world can you overturn this?

Ross would have been safe if he took a bigger step.

Oh that's awesome! GIDP

Ugh it's David Ross. Watch him launch a homer. Just because.

Nobody's scoring...

lol Giants are so scared of Cubs pitchers.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 01:09 AM) Who does a dragged out game favor right now? No one honestly. Maybe the Giants considering Moore might not last long tomorrow.
