I feel like there is a 0% chance the Cubs go quitely in the 9th, and a good chance they walk it off. Hope im wrong but this game has that feeling to it.

Wrong. Don't worry I was wrong too. I didn't like Jansen for a two inning save but he was lights out.

Still can't believe Maddon still has Rizzo at the 3 spot, but keep putting him there.

He's been awful. Really aside from Bryant, Zobrist, and Baez the Cubs offense has not hit well this postseason. Their pitching has been better than last year though so that's overshadowed the offensive struggles.

With Kershaw only throwing 84 pitches tonight, you gotta think he's out there again for game 5 again.

 

That is the only reason I'd see why Roberts pulled him so early. But even then, that's risky. Jansen is one hell of a closer, but pulling the best pitcher in baseball when he has at least one inning left in him is a ballsy move that can easily blow up in your face.

He's already pitched on 3 days rest like 4 times in the playoffs inhis career , game 5 is his.

 

At least we can end the Kershaw isn't clutch narrative, he has killed it so far.

Just one other LAD starter needs to step up.

Rizzo and Russell are a combined 2 for 39 (.051 avg).

 

For their careers, Rizzo is a postseason .127 hitter, Russell is a .117 hitter.

 

Both hit #3 and #5 respectively.

 

It might be time for them to move Baez up.

 

Go Fowler Bryant Zobrist Baez Rizzo Contreras Russell Heyward
