> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > Very impressive comeback! No lead is safe against this team. Indeed. They are they reigning/former AL champs and what a year last year was. You canā€™t count out anyone at this point. More Cubs home runs and souvenirs galore at Wrigley. Plenty of game left! ---

4 runs in 5 2/3. I wonder when Arrietaā€™s last non-quality start was? Probably earlier this season, but it seems like he has been unhittable forever. But now 7-4 Cubbies! Sounds like the wind is crazy out there. ---

NICE catch by Price. I hate it, but it was NICE. ---

And the Dodgers are going to the bullpen for bottom of the third. Weā€™re gonna see al the pitchers today. Errors too. Nerves are sharing the field it seems. šŸ˜‰ ---

ESPN wonā€™t be all over the Cubs like they were over the Red Sox. Plus, I really hope there isnā€™t a bombing at the Chicago Marathon ---

OK, gamesmanship wonā€™t do anything for the Dodgers tonight. > [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > I look forward to seeing if we can beat the Red Soxā€™ fansā€™ record for quickest transition from lovable losers to insufferable winners. No, totally different dynamic. For one thing, itā€™s the Cubs _team_ thatā€™s supposed to have been ā€œlovable losers.ā€ ---

Arrietaā€™s stuff was a little flat all night and he had trouble keeping the ball down. Good thing the Cubs hit 6 home runs. And I donā€™t know why Cards pitchers ever throw anything inside of about 4 inches off the outside corner because they seem to get that strike call every time. ---

Wow. 61 runs between the four playoff games today. Quite a slugfest. ---

> [@Club\_33](#): > > Thatā€™s up to Kershaw. Ha! Wait, are you sure about that? Mattingly usually pulls Kershaw waaaay too early, like in the 6th or waaaay late in the 8th. If he puts Baez in again, Iā€™d fire him for that. šŸ˜ƒ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-postseason-2015/733030.md?page=16) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-postseason-2015/733030.md?page=18)
