September 20, 20196 yr Great job by the boys today. Need at least one more win this series, but I’d rather we just take them all!
September 20, 20196 yr Irrespective of what's coming up in the batting order, I *hate* pulling a starting pitcher who is dealing. We dodged a bullet there.

Totally agree, but you have to be able to count on your pen to save a 4-1 game. Martinez is like riding a bull. Never boring and disaster is always seconds away.

The rotation going forward will be interesting. Roughly half of Flaherty's starts have come on 4 days rest. That would have him starting Game 2 against Arizona (9/24) and Game 3 against the Cubs (9/29) if needed. However, that would push him back to Game 2 of the playoffs if they make it that far.
September 20, 20196 yr Yeah we tried like hell to lose that game. Shildt needs to treat these games like playoff games. I could tell after 2 batters that CM didn't have it. He should have yanked him after the Bryant single. Oh well... at least we got the win and avoided the sweep. If we can somehow win today, I'll consider that a series win.
September 20, 20196 yr Quick turnaround -- 1:20 game this afternoon. Any other sport and I'd say that's bad for the Cubs, but there's no such thing as momentum in baseball.

September 20, 20196 yr Huge hit by Yadi! Eat a dick, Maddon! Edited September 20, 20196 yr by Beau Vine
September 20, 20196 yr Nothing like bases loaded with 1 out and getting jack shit done with it. This team is awful at the plate. 22nd out of 30 teams in AVG and OPS, but is still capable of contending for a division title. Yeesh.
September 20, 20196 yr Yeah holy shit I’m giddy. I would never have guessed we’d take the first two. Whatever happens now is gravy. But let’s go ahead and sweep these fucks right out of the playoffs. No mercy.

September 20, 20196 yr I lived in Chicago for the better part of 2 years and I have a ton of friends who are Cubs fans. Dear Baby Jesus let us knock these turds out soon.
September 21, 20196 yr So will I, no question, but man we need to score runs against the good teams when we have a shot. What like no starters over .300 is bad or something.
September 21, 20196 yr Brewers will not go away quietly. Winner of the Central draws the lesser of the Braves/Dodgers, right?

September 21, 20196 yr How are the teams seeded? What if (long shot) Atlanta ends up with the best record in the NL?Best record vs winner of WC game. Braves are 4 1/2 back of Dodgers for best record. Not likely to catch them.

September 21, 20196 yr Jeez, he just got that a little towards the end of the bat. An inch more inside and that ball was on the street.
September 21, 20196 yr Five straight Ls in a critical stretch run. That’s just good old-fashioned Cubs baseball.
