2018-10-02 (& 03): Wild Card Playoff Games

YES MOAR INNINGS

LOL, Gore swinging at outside pitches. Maybe just hold the bat and pray for a walk is a better strategy there.

[Boomer5]

Having a pure pinch runner in a playoff game is smart and he did his job.

[bigredrobbo]

I thought for sure they were gonna walk him, then of course he'd steal home from 1st, because, Cubs...

[Ennder]

I think Maddon is a great manager and he makes a lot of really smart moves. I don't understand the reason that Rizzo is out of this game. He is the only hitter on the team that has been hot recently. On the flip side I don't get how you take Blackmon out. These just seem like bad double switches.

[wildcat83]

Rockies offense is atrocious.

 

They weren’t last week

[mtrebs]

Well, taking Rizzo out is why this game is still going, so that was a good call.

I agree. The double switch is not meant for two way All Stars. Weird moves by both managers.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This game is over and they've lost if Rizzo isn't taken out.

Duh. Yeah you’re right on Rizzo. That seems like 4 hours ago.

[mtrebs]

Come on Arenado, show us why you are the HR king.

[Eye Black]

Seems like Arenado is due.

Rockies offense is atrocious.

Look at the home/road splits of each hitter, it is unbelievable.

Too bad it was a short story.

True, I didn’t even pay attention to where they were playing, just knew they had put up multiple double digit games.

[PeaveyFury]

Cubs fans think every pitch thrown by a Cub is a strike and every ball that strikes a Cub’s bat is a hit. It’s unreal.

[mtrebs]

Cubs fans think every pitch is a strike and ever ball that strikes a bat is a hit. It’s unreal.

 

Yes, it’s very annoying.

[homer]

I have zero faith in Desmond to get a hit even if Parra gets on.

[dlk9s]

Wow. Parra was seeing those low-outside pitches really well.

[mtrebs]

Was Gerardo Parra on the 2011 Brewers? I don’t recall if he was with us that year. I thought so.

[IntentionalHBP]

Desmond is due
