***2016 MLB Playoff thread: Cubs win for first time since sliced bread hit market (1 Viewer)

[Thunderlips]

We are entering the golden age of SSs.  Lindor, Correa, Seager, Turner, Russell, and future guys like JP Crawford and Brendan Rodgers. 

Bogarts aint no slouch either. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

I don't know. Maybe not. Tough call.

All I know is that if I'm Cleveland, I want to finish this game with only Kluber and Miller pitching.  If they pull Kluber now,  someone else has to pitch for Cleveland.  I wouldn't want to risk that against the Cubs

More popups than an IE browser.

Turning them into a box of Kleenex... popping up one at a time.

 

[Da Guru]

Dam....Kluber is dealing...

Two years ago I beat Corey Kluber 1-0....Today, I walked my 2 pugs while wearing a "pug life" t-shirt. Life comes at you fast.

 

[ffldrew]

Got jobbed on that call

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Bogarts aint no slouch either. 

Yeah I knew I forgot somebody. 

 

[James Daulton]

Oof what a horrible called strike.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Tomorrow's start time moved up to 7:08 p.m. ET because of a late threat of rain.

6:08 central?  ####.

Ahem...

Love the major league references.  Keep em coming.    

My  of that movie is very well-known among by brick-and-mortar friends.  One guy who sees it's me on his caller ID will answer the phone "Tire World?!?" like he's got half a pouch of Red Man in his mouth.

 

[Eephus]

Tim Anderson

Golden age

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I cannot believe I'm watching a Cubs / Indians World Series. It's like a dream, incredible.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Might as well just mention Ketel Marte while we're here.  Franklin Barreto?  How far do we go?  Brad Miller? 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Wow.  

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

That is the move of a manager intending to bring Kluber back for Game 4.

 

[Limp Ditka]

When we get to a Tiger SS, you know we've gone too far

 

[fred_1_15301]

That is the move of a manager intending to bring Kluber back for Game 4.

Yup probably the right move.  I just hope whoever pitches the 9th doesn't #### the bed

 

[Limp Ditka]

Trevor Story, #####es!

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

I know there have been taller players, but I'm still crowning Andrew Miller "Longest Pants In MLB History".

 

[Eephus]

Wonder if Schwarber faced any LHP in the Fall League

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

 

[Limp Ditka]

And the Schwarber legend grows 

 

[hagmania]

Man I love that guy.

 

[Billy Bats]

 

 

[hagmania]

Man I love that guy.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

TOO HIGH!  TOO HIGH!

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yup probably the right move.  I just hope whoever pitches the 9th doesn't #### the bed

Or whoever pitches the 7th.    

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Dude's an animal. 

Sure. And I know this will bite me in the ###, but pinch hit him a few times first. He's an animal after a full spring training, but coming in essentially cold here would be quite a feat.

Animal, taking a walk vs Miller in your first game is balls deep. 

 

[hagmania]

Little rusty on the basepaths.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yup can't blame Davis there.  He's not even looking at 2nd

 

[Billy Bats]

"You can't blame Davis".  

Well it wasn't my fault.  

 

[Eephus]

running back to second like a fat kid getting called in for his dinner by mom

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Little rusty on the basepaths.

I get why the CF automatically threw home and did a great job preventing a run, but I think I'd give up the run to double off Schwarber there.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Looked like Lindor was pointing home

 

[Zegras11]

so wicked

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

 

[fred_1_15301]

I get why the CF automatically threw home and did a great job preventing a run, but I think I'd give up the run to double off Schwarber there.

Did he even look at 2nd?  I assume his first thought was to prevent the run.  

 

[Billy Bats]

Looked like Lindor was pointing home

It's 3-0, not 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth, shouldn't he be screaming 2nd base for an easy double play? 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Did he even look at 2nd?  I assume his first thought was to prevent the run.  

Doubt it.  At that depth, gotta assume if you come up firing and make a good throw you prevent a run.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

 

[Limp Ditka]

It's 3-0, not 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth, shouldn't he be screaming 2nd base for an easy double play? 

If he knew what was going on, yes. My guess is that he didn't 

 

[Eephus]

Yuuuge

 

[Doctor Detroit]

That Cubs fans they showed in the crowd was sniffing his gloves like the scent of his friend's **** might be on it. 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

WOW

 

[Daywalker]

This is awesome.

 

[culdeus]

Good eye.
