NL Wild Card Thread - Rockies @ Cubs

[LogansDad]

Bad strike call there.

 

[Buzzkill Pauley]

Kyle Schwarber: Postseason Legend

Yup. He’s right there with Dan Roberts. And Marciano Rivera.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Bad strike call there on 2-1 totally changed that at-bat. I’d be furious if I were a Cubs fan.

 

[soxhop411]

robot umps now!

[E5 Yaz]

Late to this, but why didn't they intentionally walk Baez? He's been the hottest bat

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Yet another game that proves my theory that all managers are mediocre

 

[LogansDad]

I love baseball.

 

[Beomoose]

Yet another game that proves my theory that all managers are mediocre

But some are moreso than others

 

[SoxFanInCali]

There is nothing ARod loves saying more than how the pitcher really wants to end the AB on 2-2 so the runner doesn't get to go with the pitch.

Fortunately, they're all drunk

Not when it comes to in game management.

He must love channeling McCarver.

 

[ponch73]

Cubs have used their entire bench, save for their backup catcher.

 

[LogansDad]

If the first pitch steal had been a ball, they very well might have. I don't know that it something you will see often when your pitcher is ahead in the count, though.

 

[Al Zarilla]

He must love channeling McCarver.

I thought mccarver was “home runs are rally killers.”

 

[LogansDad]

The strike zone is suddenly enormous.

 

[BornToRun]

What the fuck are you on about, A-Rod?

 

[scottyno]

this game might already be over if they didn't get multiple gifts in the first inning to let lester off the hook so they shouldn't be too furious

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ump wants a deep dish pizza.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

The Brewers hope this game goes 22 innings.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I hate ARod

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ump wants a deep dish pizza.

Oh, damn, now I want one, too.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

I thought mccarver was “home runs are rally killers.”

You really think he’d only have a single pearl of wisdom to break out?

 

[BornToRun]

Dude plays for Colorado and he has an OPS under .500.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Thank god Blackmon is out of the game

 

[ponch73]

The Brewers hope this game goes 22 innings.

It won't. Rockies' pitching is thin from here on out.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

How do you take Blackmon out in a tie game?

 

[Marciano490]

Yup. He’s right there with Dan Roberts. And Marciano Rivera.

Little creeped out your phone autocorrects to my handle there buddy.

 

[strek1]

It won't. Rockies' pitching is thin from here on out.

Cubs hitting has been rather "thin" too.

 

[LogansDad]

This is a weird and random thought, but I still remember the first time I saw Cole Hamels throw a changeup in spring training against the Sox back in 2006. It was one of those pitches that you knew right away was going to make him a successful pitcher.

I remember seeing Henry Owens throw that same changeup, looking a whole lot like Cole Hamels. Of course, Henry's was a ball.

 

[BornToRun]

I’m sure Marlins Man will be very disappointed to hear that it’s the 10th inning and I’m just now noticing his presence.

 

[LogansDad]

Good gracious, this Rockies infield defense is something else.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He's Mike Schmidt

 

[SoxFanInCali]

If you win 5 straight Gold Gloves, you aren't underrated, ARod.

 

[scottyno]

he really should bunt, that's his best chance to get on base

 

[SoxFanInCali]

No matter how fast you are, you can't steal first.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Oh yes

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

I’m sure Marlins Man will be very disappointed to hear that it’s the 10th inning and I’m just now noticing his presence.

I’m sure you’ll have a chance to see him tomorrow night.

 

[The Filthy One]

“What do you think, ARod?”
“Indeed.”

 

[jon abbey]

You guys listening to A-Rod, you know there is a better crew of announcers on ESPN2?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Story needs to go deep here

 

[FisksFinger]

What a meatball

 

[The Filthy One]

You guys listening to A-Rod, you know there is a better crew of announcers on ESPN2?

I had no idea! Thank you.

 

[BornToRun]

Swing the bat, Desmond.

 

[canderson]

He took his time there and it cost him

 

[Obscure Name]

lol go to first stupid

 

[strek1]

Got away with it.

 

[BornToRun]

Here comes the walkoff.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

They had their chance
