Area Code 4-6-3 but it's 3-1, Indians, mid-third . . .

EasyAce · « **Reply #26 on:** October 30, 2016, 01:34:29 am »

The Cubs get two gift runners (walk, hit batsman) in the third and can't cash in . . .
Lackey goes 1-2-3 in the top of the fourth. 3-1 Indians, mid-fourth . . .

Javier Baez's plate discipline is disappearing, with a man on and two out he swung at pitches nobody
could reach or hit for the side. 3-1, Indians after four.

Lackey gets the Indians in order almost as fast as he did in the fourth.
3-1, Indians, mid-fifth . . .

@EasyAce or anyone.

I have watched hardly any sports over the last couple years, but I have watched a few innings of this Series and I've noticed something:

I haven't seen any of the obnoxious, stupid, idiotic towel and rag twirling by fans that plagued both batters and pitchers. Has it been banned or have I just missed it?

EasyAce · « **Reply #30 on:** October 30, 2016, 01:57:07 am »

Three up, three down for the Cubs swiftly, too. 3-1 Indians after five . . .

You've missed a lot of it. They were doing it in Dodger Stadium during the NLCS and I think in Game One in Cleveland
in the Series.

They could be waving a lot worse than just the rally towels . . . as anyone who remembers the Angels' ThunderStix in the 2002
postseason could tell you.

Chisenhall Sac Fly, Lindor scores, 4-1 Indians!

The Cubs look totally outclassed in this Series. Cleveland is executing, Chicago is folding.

This series will be over tomorrow. If not then, Tuesday.

Sacrifice fly puts the fourth Indians run home and the Cubs keep playing like they've lost every bit of the game
discipline that got them here in the first place. 4-1, Indians, mid-sixth . . .

Cub hitters forcing, swinging at pitches out of the strike zone.

Kleuber's gotten stronger as the game's gone on and he's pitching on short rest.

EasyAce · « **Reply #36 on:** October 30, 2016, 02:30:11 am »

Stop me if you've heard this before: A leadoff double, and then the younger Cubs losing their
plate discipline strand him swinging at unhittable pitches. 4-1 Indians after six . . .

He doesn't need to get stronger. Long as the younger Cubs keep swinging at stuff you can't
hit with a garage door, Kluber could pitch from a wheelchair and get them out.

Double - Coco Crisp!

Wild pitch - Crisp at third

Davis HBP Runners at corners, nobody out

musiclady · « **Reply #41 on:** October 30, 2016, 02:39:36 am »

KIPNIS!!! HR!!! 7-1!!!!

EasyAce · « **Reply #42 on:** October 30, 2016, 02:42:34 am »

Kipnis hits one out for three.

These Cubs are playing like they don't deserve to be here tonight.

sinkspur · « **Reply #43 on:** October 30, 2016, 02:48:49 am »

Cubs are young and they're playing young. They won't win this Series; they're too hot at the plate. Overanxious, not patient.

And the Cubs bullpen is just not a good match to the Indians veterans, like Crisp. That dude has OWNED the Cubs.

I want the Indians to win because 1) they're in the American League 2) they're the underdogs 3) The media is obsessed with the Cubs and have given little attention to the Indians.

Now, they'll have to.

I want the Indians to win because I want to hear that @musiclady was screaming in the streets and waking up her neighbors.

LOL! I just might do that, @RAT Patrol ! But some of my neighbors may be out there with me.

Amen, brother! I'm tired of the world against Cleveland. Maybe this will break the back of the media's always being on the other side.

Hell freezes over---Miller hangs a slider and Fowler hangs it into the left field bleachers to open the Cubs' eighth,
7-2 Indians

musiclady · « **Reply #49 on:** October 30, 2016, 03:13:54 am »

Kipnis and Lindor hits in the 9th.
