They're crappy on defense and sloppy on the bases. Tell me again why their manager is considered such a genius?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.
Because he wears cool glasses.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.They're crappy on defense and sloppy on the bases. Tell me again why their manager is considered such a genius?
Defense, too. One of three fielders should have taken control on that pop up.The Nats offense really coming up empty. Again
That was just bad luck and Rizzo's strength. They were all going after it hard.Defense, too. One of three fielders should have taken control on that pop up.
It's unbelievable how some guys just shrink in the playoff spotlight, although Murph has a track record of being money.Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, and Daniel Murphy are a combined 4-for-45.
Yeah, that will be just awesome; I was hoping for another 108 years of futility, but I think you're right.Cubs are 9 wins away from becoming a dynasty.
Apparently he's not taking his usual bullpen as he would two days before a start.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.
TBS probably realizes everyone is at work at 1pm on a Tuesday and can't watch the game.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.
If I weren't on mobile I'd queue up the Lee Elia rant.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 startNats say they're sticking with Roark in Game 4
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.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.
I would hate to be a nats fanJust got an update from MLB app...now saying that Strasburg is 'likely' to pitch game 4
Club has not confirmed yet.
