Dee4Life1893 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Tanaka has played for the Yankees 4 years and still needs a translator? How do you coach that and pay that money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 That Cubs bullpen. Yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If John Lackey gets the call in the 9th inning of a tie-game you know something has gone horribly wrong. The bullpen hasn't been good all year, but its been exposed in the postseason so far. Rather alarmingly the hitting has also fallen apart. Bullpen keep losing games, but the offense hasn't really done enough to win games anyway. Starting pitching been the only thing holding together... Hopefully a day-off lets them reset a bit and then they can spark the series into life at Wrigley. Hendricks will need to have a strong start to give them any chance, but this team has some notable bounce-backs in the recent past so i'll keep my fingers crossed.

Lackey should never have been in that position. I love Big John to bits, but he is not a relief pitcher in a million years. The starters have all been good. The offence has been terrible.

pandarilla Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yankees blowout of the astros in game 3...8-1Big cc getting more run support and taking full advantage. Even the judge got in on the act with a 3 run homer. Game 4 tonight, at a much more reasonable hour (9pm). Game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Think I might support the Dodgers. That beardy guy looks like a ginger Teen Wolf, as good a reason as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Game 4 in the alcs has been immense!Yanks looked dead and buried, 4-0 down. But they've chased the astros pitchers and blown this series wide open. Chapman coming in to save the game and tie it at 2-2. Let's go Yankees!

SamuraiJock Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Cubs stay alive with a narrow win last night. Nice to get one on the board and the feeling of the series will change quite a bit if they can beat Kershaw tonight and take the series back to LA. Kershaw likely still odds on to finish things tonight, but the Cubs bats could wake up at some point so tonight would be an excellent time to get started! Most ridiculous bit of last night was a Curtis Granderson strikeout - he swings and misses for strike 3 then complains that he thought he fouled off the pitch. For some inexplicable reason, all the umpires get together and overturn the call despite none of them actually seeing any contact! (they said they heard a noise). Crazy decision to make at any time, but especially so in the post-season. Granderson struck out on the next pitch anyway, but imagine the Dodgers won the game with a call like that making the difference! The umps would have been ripped to pieces before they got out of Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Anticipating a Cubs departure from the playoffs at some point, I fired up Out of the Park baseball for the 1st time in years last night. Basically Football Manager for baseball. Forgot how deep and addictive it was and the more recent versions seem much improved on the older ones I remember. Should help see me through the off-season!

SamuraiJock Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Cubs papped oot in comfortable fashion. Never looked like beating a very good Dodgers team in this series so no complaints about them advancing to the World Series. Cubs starting pitching held up fairly well, but the hitters fall apart and the bullpen was a hot mess. Lots to think about for the off-season but Cubs will likely feel they should be aiming for at least the NLCS again next year (which would be 4 years in a row if they can manage it).
