NLCS Game Thread- CHC VS NYM

[Remagellan]

It's kind of a shame that the schedule for this series was laid out without a day game in Wrigley.  I know it's all about TV and Mets-Cubs would probably not get bumped by anything less than a Sox-MFY ALCS game, but still.  

 

[soxhop411]

@AdamMcCalvy: Jon Lester asked whether he's prepared to pitch tonight and whether he's been told to be ready to pitch tonight: "No and no."

$155 million doesn't go as far as it used to

 

[rembrat]

Oh man that is so weak.

Brutal ball call. Wow.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Oops!
 

The New York Mets would require a historic collapse not to advance to the World Series.
Still, the team's website prematurely touted the Mets as National League champions and displayed merchandise celebrating capturing the pennant on Wednesday afternoon.

Prolly done by some dudes in India who hate baseball for ripping cricket.

So New York is up 3-0 in an LCS.

And the team trailing has to win two at home, then two back in New York.

Like that could ever happen.

 

[soxhop411]

Over/under 2 HR by murphy?

 

[staz]

Matz and bullpen coach look pleased with that last warmup toss.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Would you include Eduardo Rodriguez in a deal for Kyle Schwarber?

 

[strek1]

Would you include Eduardo Rodriguez in a deal for Kyle Schwarber?

 Only on April 1st

 

[CaptainLaddie]

LETS GO CUBS

 

[Al Zarilla]

We just got done getting a butcher out of LF. I wouldn't. Need pitching too, so keep that very promising looking guy.

DH? Catcher?

 

[InsideTheParker]

I would rather pitch to Dud a any day of the week right now.

 

[canderson]

Good lord the Mets are on fire.

 

[bankshot1]

anything good on tv tonight?

 

[glasspusher]

wow

 

[InsideTheParker]

I would rather pitch to Dud a any day of the week right now.

see what I did there? I am so powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[luckysox]

Man.

 

[rembrat]

Dudadudadudaduda

 

[MakMan44]

Yeaaaah Duda

 

[luckysox]

Yeah, umm, wow.

 

[Al Zarilla]

DH? Catcher?

Too young to DH. Guys like to be complete players at least for a few years. We have a DH and two catchers.

Hammel blows. He triple blows.

 

[MakMan44]

Sheeeeet

 

[jsinger121]

Goodnight cubs

 

[DeadlySplitter]

That was overdue by Duda.
 
And now back to back lol

 

[MakMan44]

Let's go Mets

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Boop.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Hammel, as we all see, s u c k s.

 

[paulb0t]

Welp. So much for that time machine bullshit.

 

[E5 Yaz]

holy crap

[DeadlySplitter]

Is there a win probability out there for the cubs to take the series?  I  poked around but couldn't find what I was looking for.  Does this only work in the context of in-game scenarios?

I would estimate it at about 5% before the start of this game, now down to 1% or even less probably

 

[rembrat]

Too bad Lester couldnt/wouldnt go.

 

[jsinger121]

Theo's offseason wish list needs to upgrade pitching spots 3-5 and the bullpen.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Too bad Lester couldnt/wouldnt go.

 
saving himself for 2016

 

[MakMan44]

Travis Wood sucks

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Too bad Lester couldnt/wouldnt go.

Travis Wood seems to be pretty decent as a long reliever, perhaps he should have started.

 

[MakMan44]

Ahahahahaha

 

[bankshot1]

you know Hanley wasn't so bad in left

 

[Madmartigan]

Schwarber is a butcher out there

 

[Beomoose]

Welp. So much for that time machine bullshit.

That guy's youtube channel is going to be a pretty sad place tomorrow.

 

[rembrat]

One of these teams belongs.

 

[luckysox]

I gotta believe Lester was not a wouldn't, right? I mean, he wouldn't not take the ball if asked, right? I admit that I was surprised that Hammel was/is the starter

 

[strek1]

Yowzah that guy sucks
