NLDS: Cubs vs Nationals
- Thread starter E5 Yaz
- Start date
Cubs doing their Keystone Cops impression on the basepaths, right after doing the same with their outfield defense, nice catch by that cementhead in left, loved the way he looked at his glove after butchering a fly ball into a triple like it was the gloves fault.
They're crappy on defense and sloppy on the bases. Tell me again why their manager is considered such a genius?
Because he pushed all the right buttons after the Cubs fell behind the Tribe 3-1 in the WS last year; either that, or the Tribe shit themselves and he just happened to be in the way of it.
Either that or it's his quirky management style, like having pajama parties on the road and other fun hipster doofus things.
Other than that, I'm really not sure, but if you ask him, he'll tell you why.
And WOW are the Cubs intense!!!
Give me a break, dial it down a couple of notches there Ernie.
That was just bad luck and Rizzo's strength. They were all going after it hard.
Cubs are 9 wins away from becoming a dynasty.
Theo is 3-0 in the playoffs when his team commits 4 errors?

The Nats are 0-2 in games in this series in which their starters pitch 5 or more innings of no-hit ball.
It's unbelievable how some guys just shrink in the playoff spotlight, although Murph has a track record of being money.
But still.................
Yeah, that will be just awesome; I was hoping for another 108 years of futility, but I think you're right.
So reminiscent of what some of us went through with the Red Sox for so long. Except people here have been living it with two teams. Collective funk does not begin to describe it, and the questionable weather in Chicago is just adding to the agony.
Is today's game still at 5:00 EST, even though it's the only game today, or has it been moved to 8:00? I'm seeing conflicting info.
5:38, although rain's in the forecast. As a Nats' fan, I'm hoping for a rainout so they can start Strasburg tomorrow on full rest.
I don't see them playing today. It's supposed to start raining right about first pitch time, with no let up through the night.
Apparently he's not taking his usual bullpen as he would two days before a start.
Chip Carey's tweet:
Rain approaching Wrigley tonight. TBS was asked to start game at 1 PM, and refused. Huh.
TBS probably realizes everyone is at work at 1pm on a Tuesday and can't watch the game.
So, once again the franchise is bypassing Strasburg for a playoff start
espn: Stephen Strasburg is feeling under the weather so the Nationals will hold him back for a potential Game 5. Dusty Baker says "a lot" of his team isn't feeling well. Tanner Roark will face Jake Arrieta in Game 4 on Wednesday, as originally planned.
As I said upthread, this is a mentally weak team and has been since they blew game 5 in 2012. Dusty better be fired on his way back to the visitors clubhouse if they lose tomorrow.
Just got an update from MLB app...now saying that Strasburg is 'likely' to pitch game 4
