I don't see how Contreras catches a game this series, his bat is what got him in the lineup..its cooled off so much that ya gotta start Ross tomorrow n game 7.

During the regular season, the Cubs saw a breaking ball — I’m just combining curves and sliders into one term to avoid classification differences — 25% of the time, right in line with the Major League average. In the World Series, though? Cleveland has thrown bendy pitches at the Cubs hitters on 34% of their pitches, which dwarfs the rate any team saw breaking balls during the regular season.

Not doing much with the other 66% either.....la la la la. It's the curveball!

Yeah. But not against the Indians. And I'll bet the Indians have won 1 in a row way more than 20 times this year. Which is all they have to do.

Cubs 5

Cleveland 3


Jake is solid, 7 IP 2 runs...Schwarber goes deep, Tomlin gets yanked in the 4th.

Cubs have a huge advantage since they have the professional DH.

I have no idea. There isn't a dominant pitching match-up for either team. And it's not like the regular season where you have to try to get five innings minimum out of a starter except in an extreme circumstance. The Cubs in particular can't afford to get too far behind in this game.

10% more curveballs is why they're losing? Bullshit. What about the 66% of non-offspeed pitches?

Its because the Indians bullpen has been so good. Miller didn't throw on Sunday so he could go 50+ pitches today if needed. If the Cubs are down by more than 2 runs when Tomlin leaves, its ovah.

7-3 Injuns.

:lol: What I meant was, in a regular season game, I'd like the match of Arrieta over Tomlin. But it's not clear cut here because if either of them get in too much trouble, they're gonna be out of the game quickly.

Tomlin for sure. But Jake? I know Maddon has to win Game 6 before the Cubs can play Game 7, but I do not believe he can use Chapman for 6-8 outs tonite and then expect him to be effective for 3-4 outs tomorrow. At best you would probably hope that Chapman can cover 8 outs between these two games.
