I do like a veteran in this position...Cubs up 2-1 in the series...at home....clinching game. I don't think Hammel will be a world beater...he doesn't need to be. But 6 IP 2 ER would be alright...and the Cubs' bats carry over from yesterday.

The general story of the playoffs has been #1-2 pitchers dominating and the back end exploding. Every game yesterday flew over the total. This is going to have to be a game the offense wins.

Yeah, except not every game has unseasonably warm weather or the wind blowing out like yesterday did. Even Citi played small. Minute Maid and Rangers Ballpark are hitters parks.

Today...the wind will be blowing in from left at Wrigley, and it'll be much cooler. We'll see.

I was just getting ready to ask about this. The wind is blowing in today?

Yes. Or at least, that is what is predicted around 3pm. Based on the chilliness, I believe it.

Cards had Jake very well scouted tonight. Did a good job of not swing at those outside and low sliders.

I think that took some heavy teaching and banging it into some goods heads to hold off on those pitches.

Jake made some great pitches too. Guessing very rare for Jake to throw back to back 95 MPH fastballs, as he did a few times tonight.

Great chess game tonight.

Oh, and guess what THATS CALLED COACHING.

So tonight Metheny and Maddon were great managers. I'm sure all you geniuses will let us know quite soon that at least one of them no longer is. :lol:

They will probably finish 1-2 for the Manager of the year. One had to lose. Both are very good.

That would work for me too. I think they should get to Lackey a bit today and it's unlikely he goes real deep in the game. The bullpens may decide this one.
