Why even bring in another pitcher? Just let Blanton keep serving up meatballs until the cubs wear themselves out.

Strike zone getting big
Ump wants to go home
It had to bounce twice before he calls a ball

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Only 4 more runs. They got this.

Cubs are three wins away from heading to the World Series.

Cubs are three wins away from heading to the World Series.

God help us all if Chicago's "Chiraq" reputation spread all the way to North Side, to the point Obama would declare Martial Law, just to quell the violence.

The image of Cubs fans, rioting, makes me cringe.

The Lions' mascot "Roary" looks way too much like Bailey. And the Lions use the Kings goal horn when they score a TD. WTF?

Tavon Austin is proving today that he is worth that extension

I knew that sounded really familiar.

Honestly, I wonder if you ever get to the point were baseball starts to shift away from using your best bullpen pitcher just for the "close". If you have 2 on in the 6th with no outs in a tie game. That seems like the place to use a "closer", get out of the real dangerous position and use your best to do it. I had a friend that was really into baseball analytics and said there were a few guys that proposed it, but it hasn't taken off. Who knows, the wild formations took time, but now everyone seems to do it.

There's a few teams where it already trending that way. The Cubs have started doing it with Chapman and Rondon recently. bringing Chapman in to pitch the 7th or 8th depending on where the tougher part of the lineup is. They did it in game 3 against the Giants. SF had their 2,3, and 4 hitters coming up in the 8th and the Cubs with a two run lead. Maddon brought in Chapman with the hopes of getting through them and having Rondon pitch the 9th... It didn't work but they tried it.

Heard that way too often today.

Rams look like a Modern offense third week in a row. Looks like Fisher is letting his Offensive Coordinator actually do his job.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

A-Gon with the early homer.

 

[The Night King]

Seager has been garbage the entire postseason aside from a few ABs.

 

[kingsfan28]

Good Rams game except for the final drive. Keenam threw it into triple coverage, game over. The missed TD on 4th and inches at the end of the first half was a killer. No deception on that play, and the Lions were waiting to stop Gurely.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Two runners on, one out, and a Cubs pitching change. Here's a chance to add to the lead and give Kershaw some more runs.

So much for that, Pederson grounds to a double play. Ugh.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Here's Seager's chance to do something. Scoring an extra run here could make a difference...

Or not.

 

[kingsfan28]

And a fly out ends the inning. Runs are tough to come by tonight

 

[kingsfan28]

I think that last pitch by Kershaw bounced 3 feet in front of the plate.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Grandal should've had that out, but Kershaw cleans up anyhow.

 

[The Night King]

Kershaw's work is gonna go to waste if he doesn't get any help soon.

 

[kingsfan28]

Kershaw knew he got away with that pitch. Now get him some more runs.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kershaw's work is gonna go to waste if he doesn't get any help soon.

That's what I fear. Would be a shame to see a performance like this go to waste. Seems like there's a tendency of him getting little run support too when he's in top form.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Man, Kenley just got three outs on 10 pitches.

Onto the 9th against Chapman.

 

[kingsfan28]

What the hell was that by Puig?

He actually tried to bunt with 2 outs.
