Different day, same shit relievers and same shit results given up runs.

I get bagging on guys like Slegers and Cishek but I wouldn't call Watson a shit reliever.

Corey kluber has a no hitter going. 

[failos]

Joe Maddon is an extraordinarily shitty manager. How did this guy lead the Cubies to a WS?

[Jason]

I like Cishek better when he doesn’t suck ass

His players did their jobs

His team was absolutely loaded.  They won despite him, not because of him.

At the risk of jinxing him Cishek has quietly pitched 5.0 straight scoreless innings while only allowing 2 hits and 1 walk.

Gawdamn! Ohtani runs like Erstad did!

[Slegnaac]

Shohei!!!!

[failos]

Ohtani can do it all. Maybe he should manage this team as well?

The '16 Cubs would have won 140 games with Scioscia as manager. 

[Jason]

Well this stinks 

[bloodbrother]

Out

[failos]

Is there a manager here? Or do players just get to do whatever they want?

[rafibomb]

Hedges is legit.

Mike Scioscia is the best. He’s the hero we need right now.

[Chuck]

I like the decision to send Ohtani there. Hedges just made a perfect throw. Almost had it.

I’m fine with Ohtani trying to steal the base. Look at the lineup and determine what the odds are for getting him home.

[Slegnaac]

Ohtani, Rendon and Walsh all get at least one more AB, just need to keep it close.

I’m fine when he steals…but this was not the right situation.

That’s tough with the Indians’ BP.

I don’t know if there is ever a wrong situation with this lineup.
