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.

RING OF HONOR 16,822 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Its crazy to think that a 97 or 100 game winning team will be at home after 1 game... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 This is absolutely the wrong move by Joe Madden. Jon Lester is your horse and is dominating. You do not pull him here!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknøwn 13,572 Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Lester was great but Freeland is the real deal. The man is dealing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought from the first time I saw Freeland pitch last year that he was gonna be a stud. He's proving it tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 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!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 WOW!! Story!! Snagged it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 WOW!!!! Are you kidding? Catcher's inference loads the bases for the Cubs with only 1 out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Adam Ottavino is letting the pressure get to him. Doesn't help that Butera looks out of sorts too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Call stands. Butera called out and the inning is over. Bottom of the 8th now with a 1-0 Rockies lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
