It's a whole new generation and an evolution of the game.  The "unwritten rules" no longer apply.  There's actual emotion in the field and it's bringing a whole new energy and outlook about baseball,  and I, for one,  love it.

Its crazy to think that a 97 or 100 game winning team will be at home after 1 game...

I agree and Im enjoying it...

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

I love them having the home plate umpire mic'd up!! Wish they did it for regular season calls and I wish they would publicly make announcements about replay reviews like they do in football and hockey.

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

This is absolutely the wrong move by Joe Madden. Jon Lester is your horse and is dominating. You do not pull him here!!

[Unknøwn 11,336]

Lester was great but Freeland is the real deal. The man is dealing.

I thought from the first time I saw Freeland pitch last year that he was gonna be a stud. He's proving it tonight.

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

The Cubs don't score and now Lester is out of the game and the Rockies get to take aim at a worn out Cubs bullpen. Thanks Joe Maddon!!

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

WOW!! Story!! Snagged it!!

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

WOW!!!! Are you kidding? Catcher's inference loads the bases for the Cubs with only 1 out.

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Adam Ottavino is letting the pressure get to him. Doesn't help that Butera looks out of sorts too.

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

WOW!! Heyward strikes out pinch-hitting to leave the bases loaded!!

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

[K26dp 4,850]

Ottavino's slider is ridiculous.

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Oh wow!! I need a replay!!! He was safe at 2nd!!!

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Looks like on second look he might have been out.

I don’t see how, looked very safe

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Call stands. Butera called out and the inning is over. Bottom of the 8th now with a 1-0 Rockies lead.

[Born Again Georgian 1,919]

Go Rockies, I’m already sick of the Cubbies after their one World Series.

I really can't believe they didn't show a low 3rd base angle there. Looked too close to overturn to me.
