What the hell happened to Hammel here in the second half of the year? He's completely fallen off the cliff yet hasn't shown any signs of injury or velocity drop, so what gives?

We got him for what, two more years?

They don't dominate it. We're a football town. Football football football. BEARRRRRRSSSS!!!!!

I have never seen a team get shelled in the 1st inning of every damn game like this. Wow.

These are the same guys that swatted the Cardinals out of the playoffs, right?

This is much better than blowing a late inning lead. Plus they are down 0-3 anyways.

rolling with hammel in this game was a "we give up" move, and i am shocked that in a game of this magnatude this is the direction that was deemed the cubs best chance to win.

8MM is on Encore.

Kyle has had a couple of rough games out there, but let's pump the brakes on moving that bat to another team. He'll be servicable defensively which is fine.

its like they suddenly realized they were in the big leagues and they got star struck

i know hindsight is 20/20 but why dont you consider haren here? didnt hammel's body of work for the last cpl months kind of predict this happening?

I get it. Hammel would still have to start another game in this series.

yeah you can.... dude how do you think IMU got to play in little league? =]

i dont see why you dont start arrietta. its the last game. if they win then you let hammel try. the last thing you want is a sweep. now the goat is back!

This simple point seems to elude the simple.

Yes, you can, if his bat is worth it.

As long as he doesn't eat himself out of the league, he can man a corner OF spot. And it's all futile anyway, the DH is coming to NL sooner than we all think.

No way he sends Hamel back out there, does he?

2 days rest dude.... that aint happening. if anything you could try lester on 3 days rest, but man.... shit. you DFA'd wada and i woulda rather seen him here than hammel.

then you worry about that day when it comes. it wasn't this day.

OK if that is what you want but Bernsie spent years wanting to be rid of Viciedo. Welcome to it.

None of this second-guessing matters. The Cubs were down 3-0 and will lose this series, and there was no amount of managerial moves that would have prevented it. The Mets have beat them in every possible way.

Glad to see Bryant continues his trend of being shitty in the playoffs. Another easy 1st inning, with another inning of no leadoff man getting on.
