Isn't that what A-Rod got pillored for 10 years back?

Craig Edwards

6:01

yep

jon

6:02

Bring in Chapman early hoping to get him to the rain delay, then again tomorrow to finish 3 or 4 total innings? Dangerous, but tempting.

Craig Edwards

6:03

a bit too cute. Wait for a higher leverage inning.

Jeff Sullivan

6:04

Cubs are on the board once more

Zobrist with an RBI triple into the corner as Chisenhall literally slips and falls down

Craig Edwards

6:05

weather hasn't been kind to Cleveland today, between Ramirez just missing and Chisenhall slipping there.

Jeff Sullivan

6:05

A boring, slow game that might get the end of itself pushed to tomorrow because of a rain delay. There's only one October!

6:06

McAllister, by the way, is coming out. So that's that

Good Kid Lou

6:06

Rain starts in 50 minutes

Craig Edwards

6:06

Getting a lot of bus questions.

Amazon Prime and Wilmer Difo

6:06

What did a rod get pilloried for?

Jeff Sullivan

6:06

I noticed that

Craig Edwards

6:07

announcing he was opting out in the middle of the Series.

Jeff Sullivan

6:07

That whole rule about not creating news during the World Series

Not that anyone expected Cespedes to *not* opt out

Duke of Tralee

6:07

I know the results prove otherwise, but it just seems like Rizzo stands way too close to the plate to be effective. He can get jammed on balls squarely in the center of the plate.

Jeff Sullivan

6:07

He is so quick

6:08

Shaw takes over with a runner on third and one out

Matt L

6:08

Does Otero not match up well against this team? Don't understand the usage of McAllister here. And Zobrist just proved that

Jeff Sullivan

6:09

Not that it matters so much but Otero is an extreme groundballer and the Cubs have a bunch of fly ball hitters. So that would bode well for Chicago

RBI single for Schwarber, 4-0. Go ahead and just end the game now

6:10

Smoltz really cannot get enough of the fact that Schwarber is DHing

Death to Flying Things

6:10

Craig, there was talk in last night's chat that you'd make this manager among the FG writers because "he has that confidence about him." Care to reply?

Craig Edwards

6:11

I might be able fake the confidence, which I suppose is important, but commanding the respect of a clubhouse would be pretty much impossible.

Jeff Sullivan

6:12

Officially I am going to say that four-hour, nine-inning baseball games are unwatchable

This is just garbage television

"The acquisition of Yonder Alonso provided us the flexibility to {trade Anthony Rizzo} and acquire a quality, young power arm in Andrew Cashner." - Josh Byrnes, January 2012. Yikes.

Craig Edwards

6:13

I think it depends on the game. Nationals-Dodgers game 5 was great.

Jeff Sullivan

6:13

Sure, but that one was exceptional

I am losing my mind about how boring this is

Alfrz

6:13

Unwatchable? How would the game move on quicker? Rizzo and Zobrist both had 10+ pitch at bats alone

Jeff Sullivan

6:13

Make Trevor Bauer illegal

6:14

Make that Kipnis error an actual play made instead

Zmccoy

6:14

Salazar in the pen!

Yoshimitsu

6:14

Salazar might come in to spice it up!

Guest

6:14

These commercial breaks are longer for the WS, right? They feel much longer.

Jeff Sullivan

6:14

I believe they are longer, yes. It's not helping

Drew

6:15

If Schwarber gets on base his next at bat you take him down for a pinch runner right?

Jeff Sullivan

6:15

Yeah, especially if the game stays so lopsided
