Series GDT NLCS: Los Angeles Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs

[thatoneguy]

That was f***ing demolished by Taylor.

[Abomination]

Darvish playing head games with Edwards Jr.

[Orgfiller]

Wtf just happened? And why on earth is Ian Happ, not Jason Heyward playing CF?

I'm guessing because Schwarber can really only play LF, and Happ probably doesn't have the arm for RF. I think Heyward in CF would be smarter too, but I suspect that's the reasoning.

[Abomination]

Seems kinda silly to pull Darvish there.

[Abomination]

Seems weird on that kind of hit on the line in the playoffs not to have the ump who is standing and looking right at it make the call, rather than the one who has to turn around, dodge the ball, and look. The got it right regardless, just seems like not the best idea.

[Spanky99]

Sooo... LA vs the AL winner, neat.

[G-Snarls]

This play about sums this series up for the Cubs... The bullpen (Carl Edwards Jr.) walks the opposing pitcher (Darvish), on four pitches, with the bases loaded, forcing in a run. And the Wrigley fans booooooooooooooooooooo

5-2

4-1

6-1

 

Cubs have scored 2 runs in their last 21 innings against Dodgers pitching. They must be losing their minds in frustration.

Kinda of like last year's ALCS where the Jays were outscored 12-8 yet lost the series in five games.

That was painful to watch. The catcher goes to talk to Edwards, then the pitching coach during the same AB vs. Darvish? I mean FFS - he knows it's the pitcher and that he should throw a strike. Talk about adding pressure to the situation. If you have to go visit the guy when he's facing the pitcher who isn't swinging - you need to pull him.

[G-Snarls]

So far this series:

 

Dodgers pitchers 32K 4BB

Cubs pitchers 20K 18BB

[thatoneguy]

Well that was obliterated.

[Abomination]

WTF was that bullpen dance by the Cubs?

[Omar]

Terrible call.....umps just embarrassed themselves.

[baubau]

Terrible call.....umps just embarrassed themselves.

 

At least it didn't impact the game.

[Omar]

At least it didn't impact the game.

 

Directly no, but indirectly he had to throw an extra pitch....the impact, who knows?

 

edit: he got out of it so no effect i guess. Still a brutal call that could have decided the game.

[G-Snarls]

Cubs manage to win one and make it more exciting

 

Then get to face Kershaw tonight
