Might be right. Probably should have walked Machado though. 1st base was open. Pretty clear intentional walk situation.

yeah, it's just post season baseball, the pitching is just way way better....guys that strike out a lot anyway, aren't going to suddenly become contact hitters
Eh, striking out 33% more than average (which includes a lot of games against bad teams) when you are supposedly a top 5 offense in baseball isn’t ideal…
Gonna need the stars tomorrow. With that 9th inning single from Tucker - Happ, Tucker, and PCA now 1/21 with 12 Ks. Ouch.
Not at all. But one pitcher is responsible for those extra strikeouts, and I don't think there is a team on baseball that would of had success off Miller today.
That was an ugly ballgame. Miller holy cow, he is literally unhittable. Like Eric Gagne at his peak, or Josh Hader level unhittable. If the Cubs don't have the lead through say the 5th tomorrow, it might all be over. Darvish has not been good this year, gotta get to him right away.
104 to dot the corner is unfair and disrespectful. What the absolute ****.
My only two concerns
1) When Counsell says we need to take our walks to start the game and we swung at every ******* ball 4.
2) Ian Happ in the postseason without Covid is 1-15 with 10 strikeouts.

Think the only way he doesn't throw at some point is if either team is up double digits
Three days in a row after throwing two innings today. That'd be tempting fate on his arm holding up.
I don’t watch much baseball outside of the Cubs but have been locked in for the last 2 days - the baseball has been great. This Red Sox - Yankees game is awesome.
In the world series yes, and it didn't go great on night 3.
He might pitch, but they're playing with fire.
