October 11, 20169 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Giants offense is so weak. It's too bad Cardinals didn't make it to WC man the cubs would have obliterated them. Their pitching is bad. The cubs will run into problems in the ws, not before. The boppers the jays have will give the cubs issues since they have seen lester, arrieta, and lackey before.

The boppers the jays have will give the cubs issues since they have seen lester, arrieta, and lackey before. Cardinals played Cubs tough this year because they could hit the ball out of the park. Cubs pitching gives up so few hits, so you need to be able to strike quickly.

October 11, 20169 yr The Pitcher batting is kind of hiding the fact that this Cubs lineup has struggled to produce this series.
October 11, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) wow I'm just absolutely shocked at madbum's performance. Pitching on 3 days rest.. he's done it before but he is still human.
October 11, 20169 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 02:42 AM) Pitching on 3 days rest.. he's done it before but he is still human. Normal rest (4 days). His velocity is way down though from the WC game

October 11, 20169 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 09:52 PM) Roark and Hill were two of the best pitchers in baseball this year they were alright but as you see they got lit up in the playoffs. different atmosphere but I guess you could s*** on my argument by talking about kershaw's poor performance.

October 11, 20169 yr QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 10:01 PM) Ross is going to be an analyst or coach somewhere. Not until after his HOF induction and his number is retired at Wrigley. But seriously, the amount of love he is getting for his "retirement" is annoying and completely unwarranted. The dude is a career .229 hitter and 15 WAR catcher over 15 years.

October 11, 20169 yr Jesus Christ, Fathom how do you have 102,280 posts. That's got to be an amazing record or something! WOW. I bow to you Soxtalk God.
October 11, 20169 yr Arrieta hit very hard that inning. Fortunate to be up a run still. Can't imagine he will be in the game much longer.
