Balta1701 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 08:55 AM) Indians' Jason Kipnis defends Steve Bartman, thinks he should throw first pitch. I think the person who would say no to this is Steve Bartman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxjr27 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I ran into the guy who owns the building where i work this morning in the parking lot. He said go cubs! I said i am a Sox fan. He says, i can tell by that tone in your voice that you're a bitter Sox fan. I said my tone comes from bandwagon cubs fans that drive me up a wall 24/7 on the news, in person, and on the radio.

caulfield12 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...1025-story.html Apocalypse. Cub Hero Kyle Schwarber added to active roster.... Will likely DH tonight. Makes Tomlin even more relevant. Edited October 25, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time imagining a guy that hasn't seen big league pitching in 6 months will be a big factor is this series. I'm more concerned with Rizzo and Bryant.

whitesoxjr27 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I think Terry Francona is one of the few managers capable of outwitting Joe Maddon IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Cleveland beat toronto on a bullpen day. If Salazar can give them 5 innings he will pitch in Wrigley where they may have to go to the pen anyway with the pitcher batting. If Salazar and Carraso were healthy this series goes heavily to the Indians. Miller neutralizes Rizzo and Schwarber as he will pitch at least one inning every game.

iWiN4PreP Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I have a hard time imagining a guy that hasn't seen big league pitching in 6 months will be a big factor is this series. I'm more concerned with Rizzo and Bryant. I agree. Maybe I will be proven wrong, but placing Kyle in the DH position seems like setting him up to fail. He will be immediately put into the highest pressure of At bats without swinging a bat in 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Salazar and Carraso were healthy this series goes heavily to the Indians. Miller neutralizes everyone as he will pitch at least one inning every game. Fixed.

caulfield12 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 You can guarantee if Schwarber even makes a tiny impact it will be blown up as the biggest comeback from a devastating injury in the lore of baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Is there any type of precedent for what Schwarber is doing? I have seen a lot of people say that they don't think he'll be able to hit with such a long layoff but I'm in the who the hell knows camp. I could easily see him being just fine or being completely awful because I have nothing to go off of. Edited October 25, 2016 by Rowand44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that this Series is going 7 games. The Tribe does not have the starting pitching to hang with this Cubs team. Everything is going the Cubs way this year and that will continue with a series clinching victory at Wrigley in game 4 or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
