The Cubs should win but they had a much easier road against the Mets than Giants Unless they can pitch fucking Mad Bum 3 times I don't see it.

The Man Known as Dan Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah, I didn't want shit to do with the Giants. Cueto and Bum 3 times in 5 is rough. Lester/Cueto Game 1, Arrieta/Mad Bum game 3, Lester/Cueto rematch in 5. Cubs can't take chances and have to win no matter what when Hendrick and Lackey have the ball.

Mad Bum is the Billy Smith of pitchers: a guaranteed win when the money is on the line. I wish we had faced Cueto because he's actually beatable in the postseason.

sabremike Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm kinda cooling down to be able to be proud of how far we went and how this season far surpassesd any reasonable expectations given everything that happened to us. But this fucking hurt. This was up there with Pendalton, Soscia and Molina in the all time kicks in the gut in Mets history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Fucking Giants in even years. Wreck 'em, Cubbies. I like Chicago's pitching depth and offense enough to snap this ridiculous every other year buwllshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The big thing to keep in mind that, in theory, play to the Cubs. No.1 The Giants are very much a "put it in play and good things happen" team. The Cubs are kinda a nightmare for them, because they have the best defense in baseball by a wide margin, and live for that shit. The Cubs fear power. The Giants are the only team in baseball without a 20 homer hitter. No.2 The Cubs bullpen is very very good. The Giants bullpen set the record for most broken saves in a season by a playoff team. No.3 Games 2 and 4 lean heavily toward the Cubs starting pitching wise. Course, it's playoffs, and 5 game series exist to eliminate great teams off short term sample sizes.

Infinit Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm just hoping that Giants/Cubs are 5 games of tough extra innings baseball, so the winner is easy pickings for the winner of LA/Nats, who in turn will be throttled by the Toronto Blue Jays. Let's do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Joe West's comprehensive collection of incriminating photos of top MLB officials has once again earned him a spot in the postseason, as he is part of the 6 man ALDS crew. Because if the Jays and Rangers are going to have a wrestlingesque grudge match, you might as well have baseball's version of the Rudo Referee there too.

It's hilarious that Texas, the softest team in baseball, talked nothing but shit when they thought they didn't have to play the Jays again this year but now suddenly have nothing to say. I don't really expect too much, if only because I don't think the Jays can actually afford to have any pitchers thrown out. Especially if Osuna is hurt.

Craig H Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I didn't want the Giants in the NLDS. Fun fact, Mets hitters, specifically Cespedes, can't stand up to heaters. Madbum exploited that and threw a ton of heat. You know who else has trouble with that? The Cubs. Whatever. Go out and do your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 My God, what a gift the Texans just gave out there. A totally free win in a best-of-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I thought that maybe the Rangers would have a slim chance against the O's, but not against the Jays. The Rangers have been a massively lucky team all season. A +8 run differential, tons of 1 run games, etc. The team is nowhere near as good as their record and a team like the Jays is the perfect team to exploit that. That said, I did not envision the beating that the Jays would put on the Rangers. Game 1 of Cleveland/Boston was certainly intense. So many stranded runners. Boston has to be kicking themselves.

Dewar Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 2-0 for the Jays after three innings today, but Texas has left 6 runners on base. J.A. Happ needs to pick it up a bit, otherwise this could be trouble for the Jays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
