GDT - 9.28: Game 3, Cubbies at Bravos - Sweep those Mofos

[chop2chip]

Remember in 2016 how the Cubs were going to be MLB's next dynasty...how'd that turn out?

They won a lot of games and a World Series

More like a "one hit wonder" than a "dynasty," I'd say.

They average 97 wins over a 5 year period with a World Series and multiple NLCS appearances. They were good, man.

Boog is a few days away from joining the offseason Lay-Z-Boy club

Well, their team is choking so of course they sound like grumpy old men. I’m sure if one of the Cubs had a 40-70 they wouldn’t be ecstatic. (Sarcasm)

As an aside, thought Boog was awesome when he was the play by play guy for the Braves for a short time. He's someone I'd wish they'd have kept around all these years.

I love Boog, but he is wrong. Historical moments are worth a minute or two of celebrating. Particularly when they happen in front of the home crowd.

The cubs don't have anyone that has 40 hrs or 70 sb. Just shut up crybabies

3 days of truly meaningless baseball. I think we will still see starters for at least 6 innings.

With a long layoff incoming, I doubt we rest too many guys... also we have a shot to tie the franchise wins record if we sweep the Nationals don't we?

Side note... Wright and Shawver both looked great yesterday... I hope both can carry that momentum going forward. If Shawver can create some more swing and miss with his breaking stuff he has some real potential.

Yeah I suspect there isn't a lot of rest with the layoff coming. Braves even announced they are doing simulated games during their break to keep ready.

They are mad they got called out by most everyone online.

I'm hoping game 3 is more of a bullpen/piggy back game. Some combination of Wright/Smith-Shawver/Elder covering the first 6 innings would be ideal.

Who has a better shot at beating the Phillies. Dbacks or Marlins?

Marlins are 7-6 vs the Phillies this season, Diamondbacks are 3-4 vs the Phillies this season

This is so embarrassing.

 

[Carp]

In a 3 game series, Gallen and Kelly is a tough pull. And even though the Marlins are pretty hot, I don't trust their pitching vs Philly.

 

[Hudson2]

The Dbacks and Phillies will be a good series. I’m hoping for a Braves/Dbacks NLDS.
