MLB: ***Official 2017 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[ISUCubswin]

Still 71 strikeouts so far this postseason is hard to stomach.

Oh I totally agree.

However, knowing 3 of the 5 starting pitchers we've faced have K/9 rates over 10, and we're a strikeout happy team, I can live with it.

However, some of the strikeouts make me want to puke. Pitches right down the middle we watch, changeups bouncing at the plate we swing.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Gotta work on that PFP boys

 

[LindenCy]

DP! Yes.

 

[cyfanatic13]

That was the worst at bat in a game of terrible at bats. Holy **** Contreras

 

[ISUCubswin]

Against Jansen - see the ball above your nipples, don't swing. See the ball below your belt, don't swing. Not that difficult.

 

[chuckd4735]

Would of brought Schwarber in here.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Dear god

 

[cmjh10]

When the **** did you guys get Martin?

 

[ISUCubswin]

When the **** did you guys get Martin?

Traded for him for next to nothing from the Mariners August 31st.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Welp, it’s been a fun year. See ya around April.

 

[CycloneErik]

Sigh.

 

[Shawker]

Welp, it’s been a fun year. See ya around April.

Yep, this series is over. The Cubs can't ******* hit and they give up a ******* game winning home run to a ******* ginger.

 

[Clark]

If we lose this without our best reliever pitching, I'll be pissed

 

[mctallerton]

Not that all surprised

 

[ISUCubswin]

Well, we're champions. We ain't out yet. We just didn't do enough to improve the talent load this offseason while the Dodgers and Nationals got hungry and did.

Get to work at Wrigley and don't get swept

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

Well hey we won a World Series in my time

 

[CycloneDaddy]

If we lose this without our best reliever pitching, I'll be pissed

be pissed

Well there you go, Maddon the genius bullpen manager comes through yet again.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

I'll just be happy to finally be done with baseball for the year. Too long of a season.

 

[mctallerton]

Well there you go, Maddon the genius bullpen manager comes through yet again.

I don't get it, he is so laid back with guys in the regular season, even in really big games. But in the postseason he over analyzes everything and guys get tight.
