Series Thread: NLDS: Chicago Cubs vs Washington Nationals

Explain please. The Nats basically don't hit in the previous 16 innings & then get a few HRs in the 8th (by proven HR hitters) & that means the ball is juiced? Whatever.

I don't think he was taking a shot at the Nats, just noting that the ball has jumped this year. The total MLB HR record was absolutely smashed this year, and so for through the playoffs that trend has continued.

No the multiple studies done this year plus the fact that they hit more HRs this year than ever before including the steroid era means the ball is juiced.

The Juiced Ball Is Back

Is MLB's ball juiced? Pitchers strongly believe something's not right

Fair enough - not really arguing that pt. Just thought it was in referenced to the 8th inning the other nt. NP.

can someone tell Bill to sit down

If it's bat Quintana or pitch Brian Duensing

Choose batting the pitcher everytime

 

[podsox]

Playoff madden is back. Time to try to be the attraction again. Quintana was rolling

 

[podsox]

I love it. Madden tried his best to give the World Series away last yr. hopefully he cost them this one

As soon as Schwarber was walked with no outs, I said to my friend that they should pinch run for him since he wouldn't be seeing right-handed Scherzer again, he's slow, and he's a defensive liability. What happened in the bottom half of the inning? He drops a two-out fly ball which turns into the game's only run.

 

[BrockForBroglio]

Now Schwarber making his presence known on defense making 2 errors on one play.....but his bat is so necessary....haha

 

[podsox]

Ride with your best. Fuck these average bp guys

 

[podsox]

Dusty just told maddon to hold my beer

 

[podsox]

Cy young guy pitching a gem or some lefty with a 6 era. Dusty says give me the guy with the 6 era

 

[podsox]

Love to know why these managers make so much money. These 2 are total turds and their teams are in the playoffs

 

[ElTexan]

Ha! I said to pinch Almora for Schwarber at the time . And now Maddon does it. Too late, Maddon.

Lmao at these managers today. Unreal

1-1

The Dude was barely able to pitch. Nobody was sure if he was healthy to go at all.

So, just yell at the manager for doing the correct thing.

He was too injured to even play game 1 or game 2. He had 98 pitches already.

Maybe if Scherzer was fully healthy, you can let him labor on a bit....

Maybe the Nats should score more than 1 unearned run in two of the games so far.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

More fucking awful managing

First is maddon playing Schwarber. The dude fucking SUCKs and is a train wreck in the field. The fact you can't trust him vs a lefty proves his bat can't out weight his horrible D

And Dusty pulls Cy Young when he's facing the above mentioned scrub?

Fucking clown show

Are we watching the same game? The dude has been on fire all afternoon. He made the hitter before zobrist silly. He's given up one hit. People making managing sound so difficult. It's fairly easy. These morons overthink everything. And if you are bringing in somebody why isn't it Doolittle. Why is it the worst reliever in your pen
