Nice start, can't keep stranding runners in scoring position like that though.

Why do pitchers throw anything but a ball in the dirt outside to Javy?

Sometimes Javy waits for a pitch in the zone and sometimes Javy just is going to swing at everything

For a huge athletic dude Soler is crazy slow.

In fairness he sometimes just doesn't run hard

Can WS games be Rained out?

They can postpone it but it doesn't start over. Also no shortened games so it has to be completed.

Did he just throw 8 straight balls?

Then Javy swung at the next 2

You basically have to throw a pitch at Javy so he doesn't swing

So Baez is trash now?

This is the Baez experience. He'll probably make an impossible defensive play and hit a 2-run homer in his next at-bat. Basically he is either amazing or trash, no middle ground.

9 hits and 8 walks...feels like the Cubs should have more than 5 runs.

Niwrad
Jul 1, 2008

Nah, Indians will get runners on in the 8th, Joe will bring in Chapman and Chapman will do what he does when he comes in in the 8th

I think I just realized that I have never actually experienced the true horror and thrills of REAL post season baseball ever in my life. World Series poo poo is no loving joke.

The whole thing sucks. I feel like I'm waiting for a loved one to get out of surgery.

I would probably go Edwards for a couple hitters here. Chapman in the 8th is bad news.

Over 4 hours is way too long for a game.

Not letting catchers go to the mound would probably knock 15 minutes off these games.

He also threw out the N word when he scored on that walk.
