'7' Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 And now he pulls Matz what I feel is too early...for a pitcher that does have a tendency to give up HR's. Would've given Matz two more batters here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Murph fielding gaff right there. 2b has to catch that. Swirling winds or whatever he's gotta put some leather on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This has been the one problem with all the young guy and to a lesser extent Harvey, they try to pitch to every hitter like their Babe Ruth instead of just going after guys and they run into innings like this. I put a lot of this on TdA. A veteran catcher would really be great for a young pitching staff. TdA is learning too but damn. Geez...you can really nitpick with the best of them sometimes. These guys have been about as good as it gets, even if they're not perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) People talk about the other FA's like Cespedes and Murphy, rightly so but I am gonna miss Bartolo next year. He's just like Jagr, a savant with personality. Edited October 22, 2015 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's interesting that it's never really come about getting these young pitcher's a veteran backstop. Especially with the amount of time tda misses annually. I realize that they have 2 guys with great future potential but even to teach them.

capo Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Tough to leave a guy on 3rd with no outs no matter the score. Hope the Cubs don't feel like they gotta chance. I want see Bart go a couple more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 They've been consistently outpitching some pretty big names. And they're kids to boot. Maybe you could cut them the slightest bit of slack. Kinda sucks that Flores was left on third...it feels like one more run or two will bury the Cubs at this point. How bad must he be at catcher if they think LF is actually the best option? Fat fvck was talking about him today...basically said he's about as DH as it gets.

I want see Bart go a couple more. Oh Colon's gonna go a couple more unless he blows up which I don't think will happen. That's why we have to deal with Kirk in LF Supposedly Colon hasn't had a postseason win since 2001...wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I hate to say it...but if the Mets were in the same position that the Cubs are, no way would most of our fanbase be as supportive as the Cub fans are trying to be. There'd be a lot of booing and apathy. Edited October 22, 2015 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start going up and in and pounding the zone instead making their own trouble trying to nip at the outside corner and I'll cut them some slack. These aren't Glavine types these are power pitchers. They need to make hitters feel uncomfortable in the box. Right now, Harvey is the only one who does that.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Our fans probably wouldn't check back in unless the Mets turned one of those rallies into runs. The Cub faithful clearly took a gut punch early, but they haven't given up on their team. Oh well capo...guess some fans can't ever be satisfied. So be it.

Well Cub fans are a little like Maple Leaf fans where you could argue the blind support's hindered them at times in their history too. Although at least now for their sake they have good management so they can just enjoy the games without having incompetent boobs giving them 65-win seasons.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The Cub fan has always embraced the lovable loser tag...with the exception of the 1962 team, that will never fly here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This game can't end fast enough with all these guys getting beaten up. It would have been nice to get a hit the last two innings to REALLY put this game out of reach. Oh well at least it's Reed-Clippard-Familia time now.
