Go Tribe

 

[Curt S Loew]

Good timing. New threads are good. Go Tribe.

 

[johnmd20]

Good timing. New threads are good. Go Tribe.

I suppose. Cubs biting hard.

 

[Ale Xander]

Can we go back to megathread? Hurting the tribe this way

 

[Curt S Loew]

Can we go back to megathread? Hurting the tribe this way

Yeah. Definitely the thread.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Joe West standing alone in LF makes me happy.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Relax, Cusak.

 

[bankshot1]

first time the Tribe have been behind since 1st inning of the first game of the LDS

 

[KiltedFool]

They lost game 4 against the Jays

 

[glasspusher]

Man, they made Bauer work in the first. Got him timed well.

 

[bankshot1]

brain dead

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

So Bauer has a big first inning issue on a regular basis.
I cannot believe that Willis still has a job

 

[InsideTheParker]

Cubs catcher getting away with lifting the ball to get the strike call?

 

[glasspusher]

Cubs catcher getting away with lifting the ball to get the strike call?

It's not Ross, so totes OK to root any way you want with this guy.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Anybody got a stopwatch? Arrieta looks slooowww to home plate.

 

[glasspusher]

bit of a wide strike there.

 

[glasspusher]

Anybody got a stopwatch? Arrieta looks slooowww to home plate.

Yeah, but he throws to first, so it evens out.

 

[Ale Xander]

Bend your knees Joe

 

[glasspusher]

Amoeba strike zone

 

[glasspusher]

Stop throwing high half the time, Jake.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good job Kimbrel

 

[Ale Xander]

Dammit almost

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gone two months ago?

 

[InsideTheParker]

That was a nice workout they gave Arieta, but...

 

[Beomoose]

Gone two months ago?

Two months ago Jake's not throwing meatballs, though

 

[glasspusher]

First he gets cut by a drone, now a high chopper?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Some of the Cubs with the masks and such: it's not the top of Mt. Washington in a blizzard.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Bauer is very inefficient right now. At this rate, I don't see how he gets through the sixth

 

[glasspusher]

Some of the Cubs with the masks and such: it's not the top of Mt. Washington in a blizzard.

Yeah. I've been up there in a blizzard. Playing baseball was not on my mind at the time.

 

[KiltedFool]

He usually has issues with pitch count not letting him go deep in games and he's had the layoff from the finger injury so he's going to be a bit rusty. I don't expect him to go deep tonight

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Bauer is very inefficient right now. At this rate, I don't see how he gets through the sixth

I don't think Tito is counting on 6. Just get through the lineup twice.

 

[glasspusher]

Gone 2 months ago?

 

[Ale Xander]

Chizzz

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

I don't think Tito is counting on 6. Just get through the lineup twice.

Hell, once has been dicey so far

 

[Beomoose]

51 through 2?

 

[aksoxfan]

That guy in the Lincoln commercial is supposed to appeal to whom?

 

[Al Zarilla]

I think Tito is looking at Bauer not quite like a call up from AAA for a one game start in August, but close.

 

[InsideTheParker]

What about that kid Merritt? He was so good in the clinching game of the alcs.

 

[glasspusher]

Naquin's face looks a tiny bit like a young Yaz

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

What about that kid Merritt? He was so good in the clinching game of the alcs.

Merritt and Salazar could both play big roles in the next two games

 

[Ale Xander]

Papi!!!!!

 

[glasspusher]

hey, Tizzle!

 

[Ale Xander]

Horrible

 

[glasspusher]

there you go

 

[Ale Xander]

Bauer's lost it

 

[glasspusher]

ha ha!

 

[Ale Xander]

Get Merritt up

 

[Beomoose]

Pretty amazing batting for someone who hasn't played in months.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Anyone warming?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Pretty horrible pitching by Bauer here
