BlackSox13 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Well s***. I purposely did not watch because it seems like when I did watch, the cubs won. Now I must respect the win and hopefully the inevitable Dodger win streak. I'll continue to not watch in hopes it brings the Dodgers good luck. Go Dodgers!

chw42 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What is it with people calling the call at home plate an "athletic play"? Darling said it. Maddon said it in the postgame interview. The guys on the postgame show are saying it. Are people really that surprised Kyle Schwarber can charge a ball and make a good throw or something?

chw42 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Can we all agree that Puig is entertaining as hell? https://streamable.com/bk3hq  Dude just looked at the first pitch like "come at me bro". Second pitch almost hits him and then he hits the next one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it either. I mean, aren't outfielders supposed to be able to charge the ball and make a good throw? I think this play was far less athletic than the play against the Nat's earlier this week when the Schwab showed off his soccer skills.

Â Â I think Ron Darling's absolute slurpfest with the Cubs is becoming the narrative for some reason. He has said twice in the Nats series that Baez made a play that no other 2B in baseball makes. And then he caught himself saying that Contreras made "The most athletic of plays by a catcher". And yet, Cubs fans swear that the TBS booth is anti-Cub, just like they thought Joe Buck was anti-Cub last World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 You really don't appreciate what you have until it's gone. Seeing Sale in the playoffs did nothing for me, but I get so into these Quintana starts, I root for him so much to pitch awesome, even while rooting against the Cubs. Â I was at the Hawks game so didn't watch much, but seemed like he was pulled way too early at only 89 pitches? And Rondon has been trash, you knew he would blow it. My Cubs fan buddy is anti Maddon for his in game decisions, he just got lucky last year. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2102617...es-chicago-cubs  Joe Maddon tossed, likens home plate collision rule to Chicago's 'soda tax'   What Maddon ignores is that Culberson had every right to run Contreras over like a freight train and should have, but he didn't. But I guess it's easier to blame the rule instead of his own catcher for blocking the plate that caused Culberson to try and avoid a collision that could injure both players.  Whiners are going to whine when things do not go their way. No matter what, Maddon would be whining, tis the way of the cubs and their fans. Just like when cubs fans whined about AJ absolutely bulldozing Barrett at home plate when it was Barrett's fault for blocking home plate in the first place. Whaaaaaa!
