BlackSox13 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 10, 2017 -> 11:07 AM) This whole series is predicated on the fact the Nationals offense has been abysmal. Trea Turner is terrible. If Wade Davis pitches the 8th and 9th of game 2, the series is over with the Nats scoring 3 runs in the series. I think the cub rout them today. Jake goes 5 and the bullpen ends it. If Strasberg leaves via free agency, the sad window of the Nats closes with very bland results. Strasberg doesn't get a chance to opt-out until after the '19 season so he's their for two more years. They will lose Worth to FA this winter which opens up some payroll (21M) and reduces their outfield clutter. They will contend again next year. As for today's game, I think it's gonna be an ugly one.

footlongcomiskeydog Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 11:59 PM) The Dodgers are going to destroy the Cubs. What makes you think this? The Cubs starting pitching is way too good for any team to ever destroy them in a 7 game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 10, 2017 -> 10:55 AM) Just checked the weather and the start time for today's game. It's going to be a cool wet one this afternoon. A rainout would be interesting because it makes Strasburg available for game 4 on full rest instead of throwing Tanner Roark out there.

Yeah it would. I'm hoping for a rain out to be honest. Just looked at the radar and it's looks like the rain will get here before game time.

Harry Chappas Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) The fact that the Boston game time, which started at noon yesterday was not announced until midnight (less than 12 hours prior to first pitch) shows you just how the networks run sports. That was absurd. No way in hell this is rained out. Edited October 10, 2017 by Harry Chappas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I coulda sworn I saw the game time as noon on Sunday when I looked. It was dependent on the Yankees game Sunday night, which ended late. Had the Indians completed the sweep, Boston would have played at 7, but since the Yankees won, the game started at 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner has always been a slick bastard. I just looked at the weather and there's rain expected tomorrow too so maybe that's why the MLB is going to get this one in today? Haven't seen anything stating the game will be delayed so I guess it's game on at 4:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Wow. Strasburg really should have been ready to go yesterday just-in case. They're facing elimination. You could have had him come out of the pen yesterday and if you won, had Geo go the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If Strasberg does not start he will not be boarding the plane home. Gio should be ready to go today as well. The handling of pitchers by that organization is an epic failure if they do not win this series. How many things are just handed to the cubs. This is almost as bad as Francona wasting Salazar in game 6 last year and not starting him in game 7 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
