QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) 2 pitches during that Guyer AB were balls that were called strikes. The plate umpiring this series as been special.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) Lindor let the ball play him. He played that pretty well. Just didnt have his glove down enough.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) A lot of missed calls Well look at the umpire crew. The MLB needs to do a better job and reward the best umps instead of doing whatever it is that they do to determine the playoff assignments. No way Laz Diaz, Angel Hernandez, Joe West plus more are umping the playoffs.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) Cubs fans are going to love that contract of Heyward's going forward, what a buster. They are getting the red sox complex going. Oh this expensive player isnt going to work, well lets see if we can trade him for something allstar capable and cost controlled because it works in my video game. I heard today well they could flip Heyward and a minor leaguer for Sale. I told that person to stop doing drugs. Its bad.

One of the mathletes that they interviewed in their cubs pajamas was asked if its time to panic. He said, well its only 2-1 so if they win say 1 or 2 more games then we might need to panic a bit.

Chompers doesnt look like he has his control today.

The idiots threw the ball back of course. Hope it was the world series souvenir one.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) What in the hell is Chisenhall doing this series Making Schwarber look competent in the OF.

How is this man, Laz Diaz, Joe West and Angel all umpiring the most important games of the season in the playoffs.

Right down the cock fastball called a ball.

Well he is getting Greg Maddux's one to two balls off the plate without the same pedigree. If he catches it its an out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 15m15 minutes ago Kyle Schwarber not cleared to play outfield, after doctors reviewed situation. "Just too much risk," Theo Epstein said. Thats too bad. Watching him attempting to catch the ball when he is healthy is comedy. Just imagine the in the park homers that he is saving by not playing the field.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) It's amazing to me that this trade did not cause any of our front office seats to warm but Reinsdorf has such PTSD over Jaime Navarro. Because our front office bases this on memories of the former good player. We figure we can dumpster dive and get lightning in a bottle. Member when James Shields was good. I memba. Memba the 1990s Indians. Memba Griffey Jr.

Some difficulty in RF with fielding the ball. First he cant hit the cut, now he cant keep his feet on the ground.

I wonder what was on Mr Grimms arm.

I am looking forward to what should be a high quality of pitching and defense in the world series. Fundamentally sound baseball by both teams should result into some quality games.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) Lol. Andrew Miller is just one guy and this isn't basketball. The tribe have no chance. Yeah you really paid a lot of attention to the AL and that side of the playoffs.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) Kluber is good but he is nowhere near the level of Jon Lester right now. I would take Lester over Kluber in a postseason game every single day of the week. WAT

QUOTE (SpankyEaton @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) I mean, it should work, right? Wish they'd start the rebuild and get bad before they get good. Maybe when JR dies...I can't imagine how he thinks he could possibly win im the next decade with the current philosophy. JR and the sox have a plan. Sprinkle a few changes across the team. Hope for regression from the rest of the division, over achieve and sneak into the playoffs and let Sale and Quintana run wild. Now the same methodology was used by Clark Griswald in his gambling plan in Vegas. That worked out well.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) It doesn't matter if you throw 100 when they know it's coming and it's in a hittable location. On 0-2 the ball should be nowhere near the strikezone.

0-2 and he throws a fastball to a fastball hitter. The giants deserve to lose.

This is what happens when you roll with a crappy pen filled with guys who dont throw strikes.

How the hell is that their closer? A junker who has no control.

Strikes are your friend. Getting deep into counts with good hitters is not a good thing.

Dont understand why there is a basket there in the first place. Its not like the fans can reach there.
