NL WC game

[canderson]

Think Theo would do a package deal of Hanley, Pablo, Breslow and Ogando for Arrieta?

 

[LogansDad]

Arrietta is just.... wow

 

[patinorange]

My love for Theo trumps my hate for Madden.  Go Cubs!

I think that is where I am at. I could take either of these teams winning. Kind of a shame they ended up in the one game showdown.

 

[glasspusher]

People are saying another Biblical end of the world is happening. Someone said, "Guys, if the Pirates lose, it's NOT the end of the world!"

 

[glasspusher]

Shouldn't the fans be waving _white_ flags by now?

Clint Hurdle has jaw muscles like a pit bull.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sounded like an interview with Hurdle during the 2007 WS.

 

[glasspusher]

Joe Maddon can change his look. Clint Hurdle, not so much.

 

[mauidano]

That was a weird interview with Maddon.

 

[Van Everyman]

Sort of goes without saying, but Bucs need a run.

 

[rembrat]

Has some explained the emergence of Arrieta? Is this Cliff Lee all over again?

 

[Al Zarilla]

That was a weird interview with Maddon.

He is different.

 

[LogansDad]

This feels more over than last nights game did in the 9th inning.

 

[glasspusher]

No strikeouts this inning by Arrieta this inning. Lame.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Has some explained the emergence of Arrieta? Is this Cliff Lee all over again?

Announcer said that Maddon said fastball command. Of course, that's the reason du jour these days.

 

[glasspusher]

I want to see Matt McC take a Viagra and drive his lincoln into a Sonic drive in, all in one commercial.

 

[etakbear]

How old is Maddon? He always reminded me of Spencer Tracy in Guess Who's Coimg to Dinner but he looked much younger just now. The Cubs must agree with him.

Edit - 61 years old

 

[mauidano]

Just read a Jayson Stark tweet....Bucs down by three runs, Arrieta has given up three in the last 70 innings!

Good analogy. I think the beard and lighter frames on his glasses are the biggest change

 

[glasspusher]

ballgame (again)

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cole pitching the worst game of his life.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Just read a Jayson Stark tweet....Bucs down by three runs, Arrieta has given up three in the last 70 innings!

 
In his last 90 innings, he's only given up 4.  His second half of the season has been completely, 100% outrageous. 

 

[BornToRun]

Someone should start wheeling the participation trophies into the Pirates' clubhouse.

 

[LogansDad]

Fowler is taking the role of the Coast Guard tonight.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Just read a Jayson Stark tweet....Bucs down by three runs, Arrieta has given up three in the last 70 innings!

 
 Including tonight, he's only given up 2 earned runs in his past 71 innings. 

 

[LogansDad]

[LesterFan]

Lester vs Lackey is gonna be cool

 

[etakbear]

Lester vs Lackey is gonna be cool

That will be fun and I was already rooting for the Cubs.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Fuck.  Cubs vs St.Louis gives me no one to root for and two teams to root hard against.

 

[rembrat]

Dont wake them up, Jake.

 

[Van Everyman]

Not convinced that hit him but yikes.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Last thing Jake wanted was a knockdown pitch.

 

[glasspusher]

Seems like he's overthrowing a bit

 

[mauidano]

You mean they don't get official hats and t-shirts?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Nice call, blue

 

[rembrat]

Dont need the umpire helping him out like that.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Seems like he's overthrowing a bit

Haven't seen him much but I imagine he always looks like this.

 

[Van Everyman]

Wow, awful call.

 

[LogansDad]

That was not a strike.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Holy shit, those were two brutal strike 3 calls

 

[rembrat]

Absolute dogshit. Fuck this umpire. Fucked them twice that inning.

 

[brienc]

Wow, what a gift.

 

[mauidano]

Dont need the umpire helping him out like that.

Or that.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Consecutive punch outs on bad calls.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Blue has been giving an extra two or three inches off the plate .. On both sides. This is getting reeeeediculous

 

[rembrat]

I mean if this is the zone Arrieta has been pitching to all year then say no more. Bullshit.

 

[JCizzle]

This ump is brutal. Pirates getting hosed.

 

[JoePoulson]

I was listening to MLB radio after work, and they were talking about how lefties are getting screwed more and more by shitty home plate umps.  Something about how they setup behind the catcher, and it distorts their view of the outside of the plate for left-handed hitters.  An interesting thought, and something I don't doubt.  Of course twice tonight I've seen AWFUL strike calls against lefties.
