chw42 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I know Moore has 120 pitches, but with the way he pitched, I figured you go out and let him start the 9th if your plan was to go closer by committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:11 PM) Yikes. Strasburg isn't coming back at all? He said he'd be ready. But didn't feel good in a bullpen session today so who knows. I was hoping the Dodgers would just abuse the hell out of Kershaw and throw him 3 times vs the Cubs, but with game 1 Saturday that's not going to happen, and past that he seemingly sucks on short rest.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Heck of a Series. Giants gave them a run for their money and certainly weren't blown out by any means. Cubs will need to hit much better than they did this series to win the World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is remarkable but they couldn't get any of their offspeed pitches over for strikes. I feel like prime Mark Buehrle would destroy this Cubs lineup.

greg775 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 No way this version of the Cubs was going to choke it away. It's too good a team. Our Sox as of now are officially irrelevant until we get good again. I wonder how many Sox fans are gonna flip to the Cubs now. It won't happen with us loyal lifers but some people in this day and age might jump on the winner's bandwagon. GO SOX GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Destiny's children friends and neighbors. Oh by the way, this is at least the sixth time, the sixth time since September 1 the Giants took a lead into the 9th inning and lost the game. Their bullpen is worse than the Sox. If Washington wins Thursday I'd feel better about their chances if Strasburg and Ramos were healthy. Giants could have won game #1 if not for Posey's base running blunder and they should have won game #4 but to me the biggest mistake was running Shark out there to start game #2 at Wrigley. There was no way that stiff was going to do well under those circumstances. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fanbase is typical of a mid market fanbase. We pay to go to games to watch winners. And I can't really blame people who want to watch good baseball.

dpd9189 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Overall a very good baseball series. Giants bullpen was eventually going to crap the bed but credit to the Cubs for making that happen. Still in shock, totally thought this was going 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
