Insane stat they just said, this is his 3rd start in the postseason and this run is the first run of support he's ever had, and it came on an error.

He's good but the cubs are making zero adjustments to him.

Bc he seemed 100% (or close to it in game 2). Idk maybe just underrating the difference a few days can make.

Innings limit in 2012 and injury last year. Only pitched in 2014.

There's many things about baseball I don't get and one of them is bluffing bunt. What was Zobrist trying to accomplish there showing bunt on 3-1 with the bases empty?

Straßburg's change up just sick.

Yeah honestly I'm surprised that the third time through is actually the worst of the lot.

Really need Lester to go one more clean and hopefully get Strassy's pitch count up enough to get Dusty to put Solis or Perez or Doolittle in.

I don't recall him being unavailable last year, but apparently so.

At this point I don't know how Dusty would let anybody pitch who isn't Max, Madsen or Doolittle.

If we lose with one of them on the mound, whatever. If we lose with anybody else that is a disaster.

Man this is pathetic from the cubs. Their bats have been non existent almost entirely this series.

It's a bold strategy, but they're 2-0 when they get no-hit through 5.

Well I guess Dusty can **** up by leaving Strasburg in too long. He can always find a way.

MADSEN SHOULD BE WARMING UP

FWIW I don't mind that play by Zimm. If you get picked off it isn't the biggest deal in the world, and if he ****s up and you advance to second that is really valuable.

Nah man you can't justify getting picked off by Lester in any way
