IGT: Chicago @ Washington NLDS 2017 Game 1

[ursamajor]

Good game... Nice thing about baseball, it's all about who is hot now, and the Cubs had the best record in the NL since the All star game. Making it count when it matters. 1 game down. 10 more wins to go. ...

Cubs have been cash money since the break. Completely opposite of what they tend to be historically-world beaters until the break, when they promptly shit the bed.

Great start to the series! Nothing like a pitching duel to start this series off and Hendricks was Maddux-like! Not sure what his contract status is, but he needs to be a lifer! Bryzzo Inc. came through in the clutch! Might as well make them lifers too!

Kyle reminds me of Maddux. Nothing overpowering, but great control, keeping hitters off balance (not allowing them to focus on only one part of the plate) situational pitching, and pitching to contact.

Maddux spoke to the Cubs minor league players back when Kyle was in AA ball. What he took from the conversation was fastball command. He pitches like him in approach. He locates his pitches and pitches to cold zones to generate lite contact.

Breaking news

He stared game 1......he's already the ace.

He's started two of the biggest Cubs games over the last 100+ years.

Read a stat that Scherzer, Strasburg, and Jordan Zimmerman have a 2.45 ERA in postseason, and are 0-6.

I still can't believe Dusty pitched to Rizzo with two outs and a base open. The run ultimately didn't matter, but that was still a criminally stupid decision.

Baker + Cubs winning last year has me very much at ease. Last year, I was on pins and needles when the postseason started. As for Baker, I know he's going to make some stupid decision that costs the Nats the series.

Ouch. That's painful.

Would you expect anything less from Dusty?

That's on the offense.

Lol, ESPN video recap of the game gives no mention of Hendricks. They will always suck Strasburg's dick

They made the point that contrares has been 23 of 53 with RISP since he came off the disabled list.

We all know Dusty will always make the wrong move.

No surprise the Eastern SPN coverage has always had that east coast bias.
