Jeez...Pete Rose looks like a ventriloquists dummy.

Pete Rose baseball mind is awesome. I would pay to listen to his baseball analysis.

They seriously need to get a little shitty tonight to settle the fuck down. Its a proven fact that you hit better hungover. It's too painful to think.

Both Pete and Alex are right...stop looking for a walk and hit when you are up in the count 2-1 3-1

This is Theoball. It works great against the Reds but you run into guys who can exploit it and its a different story. For all the adoration Theo gets his offensive philosophy is stuck in 2004 with that "strike zone is the line of scrimmage" nonsense.

Not true. They worked counts and then hit with confidence.

I feel like there needs to be at least a modicum of pleasure to make that whole slogan thing work.

Thankfully I was working during this shit fest. Get shutout the 2nd game in a row, this time to a left throwing barely 90mph and a shit curve ball. I see he blew a "heater" by Rizzo for strike 3. Arrieta talked lots of shit going into the playoffs, but has been shelled both outings. Maddon pinch hits Russell for a guy who has been shitty all fucking year in Heyward, wtf. This team looks like they have quit for the 2nd straight year in the NLCS. If Lackey doesn't dominate tomorrow, Theo would have signed 3 guys for specifically the playoffs, and all 3 would be failures.

Even with the cheap hit in the 9th, Rizzo has 5th lowest average in postseason history.

They hit less than the White Sox. They took a lot of walks, struck out a lot, and had a lot of power. The main difference is they're not facing the Braves, Brewers, or Reds. These pitchers throw strike one a lot. You get yourself in a lot of bad counts by taking all those pitches.

if they go down like this without hitting it won't be too heartbreaking like other years. it's just 2 -1. lot of games left. but got to start tomorrow night.

pete rose at least makes the night even out. first time i've laughed / smiled this evening.

this is a young team running into a wall last year and wilting at the first sign of a repeat experience.

The Dodgers could throw Blanton the next 3 games and the Cubs would be planning their next golf outing. Their approach has little to do with their lack of success. It's all between the ears.

A good hitting team is patient. And they're good enough to foul off pitcher's pitches and hit the mistakes and walk on the balls. Don't tell me you can't walk your way to success in the playoffs. That's ridiculous. They've let guys get to the sixth and seventh because they're not making contact.

by the way, if there were ever a worse guy to be a stopgap, at this stage of his career, it's Lackey. A "hit this sucker" mentality is the worst approach for a do or die situation.
