SenorGato Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 GD do I love getting to see both Kershaw and Chapman pitch on the same night in the same game. Two historically signficiant pitchers...Chapman's such an under the radar refined pitcher too - three pitches, great mechanics, better fastball command than 100+ should have. I don't even think he's put it together yet this postseason, in fact he's probably been way more off than on, but I'm not worried just yet.

SenorGato Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Only issue I have with losing one of these first two games is that the order sucks. Two days of nonsense headlines about how the Cubs should totally definitely be worried is going to be every bit as tedious as this thread has been since May. They're still a waaaaaaaay better team, and losing to Clayton Kershaw in a one run game is not really a thing. 3 hits and one run from the pitching staff is going to be a Cubs win in a non-Kershaw start. Verducci calling Jansen "Kelly" in the post game is some bullsh*t. White people, amirite?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Smoltz has become a top analyst imo. I hated him when he played and that carried over into his broadcasting. He seemed tight and humorless. But he's become excellent. He's seems to have relaxed and just become himself. I like him now. Pete Rose in the studio is funny. What whack job he is. Still kinda hate him anyway, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when they were both on the Yanks, Miller is better. I like Chapman when he's pitched a bit, and is maybe a little tired. Because, then he pitches, not just throws hard. And when you throw 100, and mix in a slide, and change speeds a little bit, you are virtually un hittable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller's been better during his peak, but Chapman's been doing it for 7 years now vs a couple for Miller. I believe Chapman has the pitch mix and, at this point in his career, the smarts to be a starter but my guess is that no one will take the dive. A DV incident is a way to cause hesitation. I'd loooove for the Cubs to lock him up and convert him into a starter. 150-180 inning of Chapman...:drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I watched Baez when he first came up and even earlier this year and you could see the obvious athleticism. But he seemed to me to not be an intelligent player. But I think it was about maturity and cockiness. The kid is a stud tho and brings Roberto Alomar to mind as possibly being that good. Francisco Lindor reminds me of Jose Reyes physically, and with the energy, exuberance, and smile. But I think he's more mature and probably a more intelligent player and leader, maybe not quite as physically gifted. I hope the Mets' Amed Rosario can come close to these two guys as part of the best young infielders in the MLB. Rosario has physically matured astonishingly over the last year. He was a scrawny kid when he was first signed, and has blossomed into a grown man over the recent months. He's bigger than the guys mentioned and the ceiling of his potential is as high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had been front runners all year, and I was really interested in seeing how they would respond after falling behind for the first time all season. You really needed those two against Urias and Maeda. One year ago today it was our time -- maybe tomorrow night is yours. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
