Two outs. Nobody on. Two runs.

Walks kill.

And Joe, strategically, with a 4 run lead, has his best defensive OF on the bench. Zobrist way too shallow.

If he uses Q we concede TWO games in NLCS.

Do either teams have the arms left to finish? Either way teams are fucked for next series.
No they aren't. The Cubs have 11 pitchers. Hendricks, Lester, Strop, Montgomery, Duensing, Arrieta unable to be used. Still have 5 available.

Up by 4 runs, Strop doing well and bring in Montgomery? Maddon out-thought himself I think because of what happened in Game 2.

He just walked Werth and the next hitter is a lefty. What the **** you talking about “out thinking”?

My thing is why never Wilson in these one out situations. Why is he on the roster if he’s not getting an out in the 6th?

Dunno how we got out of that 6th and kept a 2run lead, but hallelujah.

DON'T BLOW IT

Who cares about the matchup at that point? 4 run lead. No need to play a matchup. What the **** are you talking about?

Why would you leave a righty in to face the best left handed hitter in the sport?

Pinch run for Kyle... Safety squeeze try needs to happen.

What do I care with a 4 run lead? It's like Harper never makes an out against a RHP? Silly.
