Series Thread: NLDS: San Francisco Giants vs. Chicago Cubs

Well that's just a cheap HR! Actually got to see a game there a couple months ago. It was Lester v Hammels. Wind blowing out, but the pitching so good it was a boring game. Games like this are only this exciting in Post Season. Kinda disappointed in the experience as the vendors were so dang loud and intrusive it was hard to enjoy the game. We were right behind the bullpen 3b line. Glad to have been there, but not again. ATT is a much better environment for the butt sitter.

not a hr at att

They added a scoreboard above the ivy there. The basket is there to keep the homerun distance the same.

Uhhhh no. It's been there forever.

Cheap homer??? Wind blowing in hard and Wrigley plays deep. You know nothing

Great game to watch. Hopefully for both teams sake the umps wake up for the rest of the series. Wish this were the NLCS matchup. I think it's the best 2 teams in the league. Shark vs. Hendricks and Mad Bum vs. Arietta on tap. Doesn't get much better for a baseball fan. Good game Giants and good luck the rest of the series. Go Cubs Go!

That was a real treat to watch pitching wise.

yep the home plate ump was terrible (to both teams)... hopefully we'll get a better crew going forward. baez came through and giant's couldn't answer. about as close as you can get

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Too concerned with timing? With all due respect Cueto pitching a fantastic game- and it's a core part of what he is. These postgame shows are always a hoot.

 

[ElTexan]

Cueto threw two bad pitches all game?? What a game.

Yeah about he only positive thing is he was at least equally bad to both teams and luckily I don't think it impacted the final score. The check swing in the 9th was pretty iffy but it's part of baseball I guess. Hopefully it straightens out goin forward

check swing was a 50-50 call. but the outside balls that were called strikes definately impacted the game. not saying it favored the cubs or giants, but hitters were on the defensive and it took runners away from both teams.
umpires are there to regulate the game, not change the tenor

Great game!

Great game!

so you post after a cubs win and not during the game?

 

[Cedrique]

Watching the Post game show leads me to only one question---Why does Pete Rose not have a full time announcing gig? The man is a national treasure.

 

[navamind]

that home run would have been in the streets any other night.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

There's a bad ump in the playoffs every year. Stop whining and play ball.

 

[NCChiFan]

Yes I did

probably not what you want to hear, but you can get a post season streaming package for about $10 iirc

it crap these games are not available in the local market on regional affiliates

Since the Dodgers game is postponed they should put this game on FS1.
