2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Did Cal just say he was offended by a called strike?

 

[jewbacca2]

This ump has been pretty brutal behind the plate, but I love when hitters argue calls that are clearly strikes

My hatred for LeBron and the Cavs is starting to trickle over to the Indians for no reason

 

[jewbacca2]

Martin looks so washed at the plate.

Martin looks so washed at the plate.

And he''s batting 5th

I'm still rooting for the Indians to make the World Series even though I dislike LeBum

 

[nick.]

I'm on the Indians bandwagon for the rest of the season

Back end of Cleveland's bullpen too strong, if the Jays don't jump on them early this series might not last long.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

How does Estrada keep blowing 86-87 by people?

That change up is what dreams are made of.

I used to question it but not anymore I think he's a guy who can consistently beat his FIP.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Meh. Gotta give it to CLE tonight

 

[EddieDoyers]

I think Indians take Game 1 in a slugfest

I predicted mostly right

 

[CHAOSE57]

Tulo's gotta hit behind Bautista, Martin has been atrocious.

What game were you watching?

 

[ahat]

Well damn. Was a good game by both starters. Estrada essentially made 1 mistake. Hung that 0-2 change to Lindor( not mad it was him lol,if anyone on cleveland were to do it to us).

Ump was pretty bad with his zone. Whats worse is he was inconsistent. If u call an inside fb a ball how u gonna call another fb even more inside a strike? . The joey bats and edwin ABs they argued were clear strikes. Only one id kind of agree with was upton but even then it was close and 2strike count.


I agree with all that mentioned....martin should not be hitting 5th. Hes been terrible. Need tulo in the 5 hole. Hopefully we can bounce back tomorrow

 

[CHAOSE57]

Thank God this is a 7 game series

I miss Andrew Miller but I'm very eager to see if Clint Frazier pans out.

Martin looks so washed at the plate.

And he''s batting 5th

20 HR and 74 RBIs on the season, yet he's looked unproductive most of the year.

 

[EddieDoyers]

If I remember from watching the season, Martin hits better at home
Correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure there are stats to prove or disprove me
Just too lazy to check

 

[jewbacca2]

I could care less what he's done or hasn't done this season, just watching him lets me know he's washed. He has zero bat speed and just looks overmatched.

Carlos Santana Windians wagon is real.
