POLL Cubs/Rox - NL Wild Card

[MileHigh64]

Great game, Cubs! I guarantee that the Brewers will have all they can handle the next 5 games. The only team that has been as hot as the Brewers in the last two weeks is the Rockies.

Night, all!

Hmmm...The way Maddon played this game with his staff, I was kind of hoping the Cubs would win this game...the Rockies took the game...and that's all that matters...I wonder if Maddon will have some cute excuses for the loss, all the games played in the last 45 days or having to come to the home stadium for a week in a row...the horror

I also got nervous when the Rockies changed catchers.

I'm just not sure if a catcher is ready to catch possible erratic command by a pitcher, in an extra innings game.

I guess he contributed with his bat, instead.

If the Rockies bullpen can do what they did today, a few more times, then they can come close to matching the Brewers bullpen.

A game like this should give them confidence that they can pitch well in the playoffs.

Plus, as good as the Brewers bullpen is, they'll screw up at some point. The Royals bullpen did, once, in 2014.

Braun vs. Holiday.

Will that be a battle of relics, or will one or both of them come up with a signature playoffs moment?

I can provide one ... it was called losing 4 in a row in Cincy back in June.

Need another PBF....

What's a PBF?

Pitcher's best friend, a double play

Good acronym.

What would you call a triple play then?

Yeah someone made that up on the SF Giants board. Good shorthand.

Triple play? I guess PBFF?

Cubs fans upset about the Wild Card format all of a sudden?

I'm sure they loved it in 2015.

 

[msgkings322]

What a fantastic first playoff game. I love this shit.

 

[Bolts]

Yeah the Rockies won but the Brewers are gonna beat them in 3 easily.

All the money the Rockies threw at the bullpen this off season and it was a bust for a lot of the year. This made it feel like it was worth it though.

I was surprised when they sat Iannetta that it was for Butera and not Wolters. Wolters and Ianetta have platooned almost all year at the position.

Then again, Wolters has been the worst bat on the team all year and hit the winning RBI as the 3rd catcher, so what do I know.
