Cubs should win next 3. Manager will make adjustments and teach these guys to hit the ball in play. Have to go back to fundamentals and correct batting stance and swing.

Yep and they will wail on Kershaw

Urias is pitching for the Dodgers and Lackey is on the mound for the Cubs. If the Cubs don't win tonight, they as might as well forfeit Game 5

Next 3 games or next 3 World Series? No call is too bold for the new breed of Cubs fan.

Heyward back in the starting lineup WTF

Don't worry, Cubs will lose tomorrow in Game 5. This is just a fundamental problem of the dodgers defense. Cubs bats will be back to cold in Game 5.

Like to see a Cubs-Indians WS

The cubs will have an offensive outburst before this series is over.

Obligatory self congratulatory pat on the back, SBR style.

**slambam** · 10-19-16, 10:19 PM

Do the Dodgers move up Kershaw? I think they have to.

Cubs bats go back to freezing cold again for Game 5. Put your rent money down on the dodgers in game 5.

I doubt that, uncle Lester on the mound tonight, 4-3 cubs.

**JIBBBY** · 10-20-16, 02:50 PM

Flip a coin tonight in this one.. I might play the over that's it...

Dodgers either respond and beat Lester at home now or the cubs bats are still hot from last night and hit Maeda hard this second go around..

**BigdaddyQH** · 10-20-16, 02:53 PM

Kershaw pitches in game 6. I do not know why Roberts is willing to sacrifice game 5. Does he really think that the Dodgers can win two in a row in Chicago and 3 out of 4?

**BaseballChaser** · 10-20-16, 03:12 PM

Why would you want Kershaw in game 5? 3 days rest against Lester? Basically a coin flip. then Maeda has to pitch in Chicago against Hendricks in that scenario. Let the kid pitch at home and let Kershaw be on a full rest against Hendricks. If the Dodgers win tonight it's over. If the Cubs win tonight they still have to find a way to win one of these two:
Maeda vs Lester: adv Cubs
Kershaw vs Hendricks: adv Dodgers
Hill vs Arrieta: adv Dodgers

Dodgers are obviously thinking win the series in 6... That might happen if they get the win tonight..

If you're the Dodgers you don't wanna game 7 if possible and if you do everyone pitches again. Remember Kershaw and Janson pitched on back to back nights to win the series against Washington.. They did it once they can do it again if the season is on the line..

So basically you will have Kershaw in game 6 and 7 if needed.. Janson as well...

Rizzo is complete trash.

For the record:

This post came just after Rizzo was 0 for 2 in Game 3 against the Dodgers.

He went on to hit 8 for 15, 2 HR, 5 RBI in the rest of the game and series.
