Kind of funny that losing the DH in the NL park may have hurt the Cubs more than Cleveland. The Maddons look like the Angels did against KC  a couple of years ago.

F'n Napoli.

I'm just thankful Scioscia ran HIS sorry ass out of town, before he fucked us up like he has everyone else he's played for.

he's out of the game as soon as the pinch-hitter is announced 

 

Hypothetically, if there were 2 outs and the Cubs challenged and got the out call, is the pinch hitter officially announced since the last play of the inning would've been on that walk?

the answer has to be, no. anything after that reversal never happened.

Anybody else find this World Series somewhat boring? I don't know if it's just that the NLCS was so much fun to watch, or that to me I don't care who wins, but I just haven't been as locked into this one as much as I have been before. It doesn't feel MUST SEE. And then even the scores have been kinda boring too, and it feels like the managers have been over-managing. I mean as soon as a starter gets a base-runner in the 4th, he's pulled out of the game? Wha?

I dunno, maybe it's just me. This series doesn't have me on the edge of my seat.

I'm landing in Chicago at 2 o'clock today, The Cubs will then rebound and move forward.  I will see you Sunday night from Wrigley with the Cubs up 3-2.

I forgot to use the sarcasm emo.

His defense might have been the difference in that game. Didn't he get traded because he was a defensive liability?

They could try to get a couple innings each from Merritt and Salazar and hope Lackey shits the bed. That gives them the other 3 starters on normal rest for the remainder of the series. It can't be any more of a gamble than putting Santana in LF.

I'd take my chances with Kluber over throwing together a patchwork lineup of pitchers in the WS. You're basically guaranteeing that Miller will have to go another couple of innings. Allen, too.

Kluber only threw 88 pitches in G1. Before that game, he had a week off and only threw 89 pitches in his previous start in the ALCA.

oh, I get what you're asking.

no, play continues from the point the challenged play ended.

Only 13 total runs in 3 WS games so far, are we heading back to 1968?

Although even the 1968 WS saw the Cards and Tigers each score at least 10 runs in one game alone.

[Angel Oracle]

Indians are sitting pretty now, with Kluber available for two more starts, if needed.

Game 3 was huge, and the Cubs did absolutely NOTHING against Tomlin.

[Waybackman]

Amazing Strat-o-matic has picked the winners in all 3 World Series games and even got the score right yesterday. They are saying the Indians in 6.

Holy cow that was a shot by Santana 1-1 tied in the second.

Hmmm Santana homer. What is this witchcraftery?

[Lou]

I thought it was nice of them to stop the game and give Heyward the ball after he singled.

It's not looking good for the Cubs right now. 3-1 Indians and Lackey is serving meatballs.
