    last night shows why the NL is a far superior product than the AL. Every one of the 25 players on the roster is important. And decisions by the managers have consequences.  yea i'm looking at you Cliffy :smiley:
    Yeah, nothing more exciting than a cool 2-1 13 inning game!  Though this time it was obviously pretty exciting.

    As for the Cubs celebrating baserunners... They were trying to get their teammates hyped up to get something - anything - going.  It was a tough game with great pitching and neither team could buy a hit or a run.  I thought you guys wanted baseball to be more flashy, exciting, and fun?
    Anthony Rizzo is one of the best, most consistent players in baseball and a great guy too!  Dude does nothing but grind for us year in and year out.  He's been through the bad years and the team has been built around his leadership. Cancer survivor. Clemente Award winner.  Does amazing charity work.  Someone every young kid playing the game could look up to.
    Oh I almost forgot.  It's the cool thing to hate on the Cubs now because god forbid we enjoy a little bit of the spotlight now that we've had some continued success.  Boy, I sure wish we were contenders every year of my life like the Yankees and Red Sox and got to enjoy the fruits of victory like you guys.  Sorry we've inconvenienced everyone so much.
    😭

    You dont think Contreras was a little over the top? 

    Rizzo is fine though. Seems like a pretty cool dude.

    on the face of it, the AL matchups completely dwarf those of the NL.

    we shall see....

    Cubs are living rent free in so many heads.  Y'all should start charging.

    Cubs being winners are better than Cards or Pie-Rats being winners.  All 3 teams should suck, in my world.  (NL Central lover...cannot bring myself to hate the Brewers yet, although I still have a healthy dislike of the Astros.)

    i didn't see that.  i guess they might have an excuse since they played 13 innings the other night.  it's the new analytics game. can't wait to see the Indians use 7 pitchers per game again in the playoffs.

    Yeah I just saw that.  I'm not one of these guys who hates analytics and think they have no use, but it just feels like some of these managers are overthinking it.  Aren't you more likely to have success with 1 pitcher starting instead of bringing in a new pitcher ever 1-2 innings???

    Agree analytics has it's place but it's taking over and hurting the game.  too many pitching changes and shifts on defense .  And on  offense, between exit velocity and launch angle, everyone wants to just hit a home run or strike out. where has the double gone?

    Analytics say no.

    Once a batter sees the pitcher a third time they start to have success on them.
