not according to pitch Trac. He's painting corners like a Rembrandt.All those were over the plate. Maybe a little high or low....
I've seen livelier morgues.Yankee fans are just a collective bag of #####
no. why would that be tacky?Is it tacky to have champagne for winning one game?
They're going to beat KC IMOHouston won't be an easy out IMO.
Not for Houston, hell no. They are like two years ahead of schedule. They lost 92, 111, 107, and 106 games the past four seasons.Is it tacky to have champagne for winning one game?
I wonder if it has anything to do with the Kang incident from several weeks ago. Perhaps the Cubs think that he may get rattled by the crowd?LaStella at 3B, Bryant in LF, Schwarber in RF. Not sure why Coghlan isn't starting..

The crowd's going to be ape#### anyways. That doesn't seem like enough reason to move two guys out of position AND swap out an inferior hitter.I wonder if it has anything to do with the Kang incident from several weeks ago.

Yup i'm not saying I agree with the decision. Just trying to find an explanation. Perhaps Maddon doesn't like the mental toughness of Coghlan? Questionable lineup decisions by both teams so it will be interesting to see the 2nd guessing after this game.The crowd's going to be ape#### anyways.

Coghlan also does well against fastballs and sliders, LaStella fastballs/curveballs. Cole's slider is much better than his curve, and he throws it 3x as much.
Another reason not to like one game playoffs. Players look forward to post-season action for their entire careers only to be relegated to the bench due to a pitching matchup or managerial decision.Yup i'm not saying I agree with the decision.

I noticed him too, creepy mustacheHey Pirates fans. Who is that creepy porn guy working as a vendor behind home plate. He comes down and just sits there - noticed him during Cardinal Series.
Game was over after the first inning. I really felt that Cole needed to come out with an absolute dominant inning in the first for the team to have any shot. He came out shaky and has probably pitched one of his worst games all season. Such a disappointment to go down like this after a 98 win season but still proud of what these guys accomplished.If Fowler is crushing them there is no hope for Pirates
Agreed but it honestly doesn't matter that much.This ump is a complete joke, mercer pitch not even close to a strike
Gotta love Montero framing those pitches.This ump is a complete joke, mercer pitch not even close to a strike
Not til after the 7thDo they pull Arrieta early to keep him fresher for next series
