One good AB by Ross. Come on folks.

 

[CP1708]

Need a quick inning here from Lester. Get offense back up quick.

 

[CP1708]

 

[CP1708]

BABIP Gods.

 

[af1nike]

Rizzo gotta take a few pitches in that spot

 

[CP1708]

Yeah, few overly eager at bats tonight.

But, feeling out process. Did same game 1 of NLDS.

Need either a miracle 9th, or yet another Arrieta gem tomorrow. Going to game 3 down 0-2 with Hendricks v DeGrom is not a good option, at all.

Castro, Soler, Baez. Get us two please!!!!!

 

[CP1708]

Damn, Baez is out, so Montero after Soler.

 

[CP1708]

Welp....

Once again, we need Jake Arrieta to have a HUGE start tomorrow night. Can he do it for us, AGAIN?

 

[illmatic34]

So frustrating to watch. It's either we didn't swing or swung too early. Very sloppy play.

And Lester was left in too long.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Tough loss.
The team was too amped, now that we got those game 1 jitters out the way they'll play better.
Hoping for a dominant performance from Jake tomorrow.

 

[CP1708]

Coghlan starts for Soler tonight. Montero also back in lineup. So should be a little deeper.

Hope Jake feels fresh with the extra day of rest for his arm.

 

[af1nike]

****

 

[CP1708]

Gonna have to back Jake up like they did vs StL.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

We need a spark!
C'mon Maddon work some magic...

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Bryant

Rally time!!!

 

[CP1708]

Just keep grinding. Try to create a spark to carry over to game 3.

 

[illmatic34]

Let's take the series back to NY.

 

[CP1708]

Not ideal.

But Wrigley can help us out. Need a huge game vs DeGrom. Won't be easy.

 

[bonez7 back]

Bats need to come alive, been dead last 2 games. Not looking good for us.

 

[sportsjunkie]

Keep the faith fellas, This series is far from over. next 3 games are in Chicago.

Non NLCS news......

Eddy Julio Martinez is being listed as signed by multiple sources.

Also, MLB did their top rookies for 2015 and beyond, and the Cubs had 4 of the top 15.

Bryant #2
Russell #6
Schwarber #10
Soler #15


All 4 should be better next season as well as Baez.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Got my Ritalin refill today.

Gonna be more focused than the Legion of Boom in 2013.

We got the next two.

 

[CP1708]

We need to win more than the next 2 Ches........

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Baby steps, CP.
