All the Cubs fans here just disappeared huh

Not a lot to talk about, just sitting and watching this lineup with an air of desperation.

In a way, doesn't feel like the playoffs have started. They've just been 'holding on' for a month straight. Waiting to see someone put something together

I would be pissed if I was a manager and forced to do these dumb mid-game interviews for playoff games

The way this lineup's constructed is killing me. Every contact hitter is followed with somebody susceptible to strikeouts. Zobrist solid, struggling Bryant, Rizzo works counts, Baez usually overly aggressive, Almora pretty good.

There's just nothing cohesive about their approach to the plate. Murph was supposed to help this, and he's been meddling since getting here and seems wasted leadoff most days. A lot of that falls on Maddon for sticking with being "unconventional" and failing to build a cohesive identity at the plate with the lineup

Christ. 3-hitter vs Mikolas/Cards to force game 163, 3-hitter vs Brewers and Chacin, and 2 beautiful hits tonight for Cubs

Wife is a born and bred Boston girl so I feel like I need to support the Red Sox just to keep the wife happy. But, I do have to say seeing the Braves have a chance brings up a whole bunch of nostalgia from my childhood when David Justice was killing it.
