Well, either way it isn't over. I'm not comfortable at all with Trevor Bauer tomorrow. The Cubs are the kind of club that if they get some life, they can get really scary really quickly.
I did say "remind", tbh.

Yeah. I was hoping that inexperience would do them against the Dodgers. They played like this in the two games they lost against the Dodgers, but then they went back in the tank, and started executing again. Working counts, drawing walks, and shrinking the zone. They lead the league in walks for a reason. But over the last two games, they are incapable of laying off bad pitches.

Cubs
Yep, the Cubs just want it to be over and have the victory. It does not work like that.
That's why I condemned him for using Miller tonite, but, then I understood, even 7-1 can be overcome. Get the V's while they're ready for plucking.
He could still do 2 innings tomorrow nite.
Just have to hope Bauer can stand clean for at least 3 innings.
Even if tomorrow doesn't go well I don't think it's going to phase this club. I remember when the Tribe was up 3-1 on the Red Sox in the '07 ALCS and when they lost Game 5 you could feel the air go out of the balloon. This club is made of sterner stuff than that. If they lose tomorrow they'll dust themselves off and be ready for Game 6.
They did, they played like Champs the last 2 games. Poised, set, alert, confident, but, not y, just ready and willing to compete for 9 innings.
It'll be nice having firsties tomorrow nite.
Could anyone start in place of Bauer at this late state?
Just asking, i don't follow the Tribe.
I know ancient baseball purist does not vary from the rotation.
Just that Merritt kid.
Wasn't able to watch much of the game, but good by the tribe. Series most likely goes 6 but I honestly didn't see them winning a game at Wrigley, much less two.
To be fair, that Braves team was really talented offensively as well. Same crew could have won back-to-back if Mark Wohlers didn't choke against the Yankees.
Even tho you are talking about Game 4, i thought the final Cubs batter in the 1-0 Game 3 also made the same strategy blunder.
Guys on 2nd and 3rd. Appeared obvious that the pitcher was going to do an intentional/unintentional walk to load the bases. He chased that high fastball on what surely would have become a walk.
They did have some big bats- McGriff, Justice, Klesko, Chipper Jones- but they also had guys like Mark Lemke and Jeff Blauser that knew how to do the little things. And Mike Hargrove was badly outmanaged by Bobby Cox. Hargrove was good at handling the high-voltage personalities in the Tribe clubhouse but as a tactician he left something to be desired.
How do you feel, Joe?
I don't feel good about this evening.
I wish they'd lay down one more time in Chicago.
Dale, lettin' the Cleveland fan in him slip out.
ha, ha.
Not that great about tonight. I just have no confidence whatsoever in Trevor Bauer.
Bauer has some nasty stuff going so far tonight. Looking real good.
Welp, time to yank Bauer now.
First stupid move of the series by Francona, letting Bauer pitch again instead of Merritt. Just dumb antiquated "old-school baseball" thinking.
Yep, CN is right. Inexcusable.
That is so ing frustrating. Bauer had already won the point, done his job. And going into the telecast the announcers stated that Francona was going to empty the bullpen.
Balloon head.
This game is so rigged. Riggage is literally the only reason why the MLB wouldn't have switched to robot umps at home plate by now.
