2016 MLB Regular Season - It's an Even Year...

[Tom Hendricks]

But at this point wouldn't you say the Cubs have more upside for the next few years vs the Yanks? I know the Yanks got a boatload of young talent but their pitching is way more suspect than the Cubs and the Cubs have a better hitting team.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Depends if Chapman is more about winning or the money.

 

[Kronos]

Chapman talked about loving being a Red, so it's neither.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

He's a gamer!

All the Cubs need is one more game with that offense and Hendricks pitching.

 

[Yanks]

Well ladies and gentlemen.... we have a WS game 7!!

Just love it.

I'm sticking with my prediction.... Cleveland in a nail biter.

Sorry Timby :-)

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Our 3rd time seeing Kluber vs their 2nd time seeing Hendricks. I like those odds.

I wouldn't if I were a Cub fan. Cleveland also has the better bull pen.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

They do have 3 or 4 lights-out guys in the pen. My hope is they finally get to Kluber early for a decent lead.

Wearing out a starter is only good if the bullpen can be scored on.

 

[Timby]

Lineups are out and the Cubs have no changes from last night, so it would appear the strategy is the same: Pray you score a couple early runs off Kluber before you face the bullpen death squad.

^It looks like it's working for the Cubbies

 

[Finn]

Is it me or are the infielders (both teams) struggling to get a good footing while trying to catch an infield hit tonight?

 

[Kronos]

Personal catchers are ridiculous.

 

[bigdaddy]

I'm a Red Sox fan and I hate Lester. As soon as he went in I went "Don't blow it" and 3 minutes later he does. He's a fucking little whiney bastard. He has to have his catcher, he never throws to first or does anything besides pitch. He's not a team player. I fucking hate him and if he blows if for the Cubs I'll be even more pissed.

 

[Timby]

Personal catchers are ridiculous.

Not as ridiculous as a pitcher who's afraid to field the ball.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Indians just tied it up...

 

[Use of Time]

Oh my

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

...and here comes the rain. Why didn't they move THIS game up an hour like they did the last time rain was forecast?

Rain wasn't forecast to hit until midnight (and not get really bad until 2 a.m.).

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Maddon's quirks have officially gotten old. He completely wastes Chapman yesterday with a 5 run lead, then brings him in tonight, already gassed, then runs him back out for the ninth.
Why the hell carry 10 or 11 pitchers if you won't use more than 2?

 

[bigdaddy]

Just call it now and give it to the Indians. The Cubs don't deserve the title. It was

Why bring in Lester as soon as he did? Lester was warming up for innings na innings when what's his name was doing fine. He had one walk that wasn't a walk because the ump's strike zone is small (for both teams.)

I'm hoping the Cubs win, but they don't deserve it, at all.
