i dont know if that ball hits him.

but the last pitch was way outside. no way to get fooled on that. seems like he was wanting to protect there.

It worked out for Black, but how do you leave the righty in for LaStella/Heyward/Schwarber? Cubs have no right handed bats left.

Did anyone think Heyward was getting a hit in that spot?

Jhey could've stayed still on that second ball and the game would be tied.

Second guessing #2: I woulda rather seen Schwarbs in that sitch.


Nah, Schwarber has been shit lately and Heyward has been having a pretty good year. Was the right move.

I feel strangely calm about this game. Last year hurt, this team just doesn’t feel like they deserve it.

Maddon's pinch-hitter was the worst postseason hitter in baseball history, huh.

No doubt in my mind Babe Schwarber would’ve hit a grand slam or taken the hbp.

He's been a much better hitter this year. Not much he can do with those last two pitches.

Senor talks today about how the Cubs' offices are full of number-crunchers figuring out the absolute best outcomes by thousandths of percents and then Maddon's pinch-hitter with the bases loaded is a career .153 in October :lol:

How about going oppo to left field. Especially with the shift giving you lots of space to shoot a ball through that side of the infield.
