2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

2 of the best in the league & they haven't had a stolen base in weeks

When we got past Betances and Miller, I started to feel good going late in the game.

Can't wait for the next couple of games.

8th inning Gardner on first.. No outs..

Doesn't have Gardner steal because he doesn't want to take the bat out of A-Rod's hands.

He then grounds out into a double play. IT WAS A TIE GAME in the 8th..


For Pete's sake, how do you have Gardner & Ellsbury and you continually hold them hostage on the bases.

sabermetrics says stealing is stupid

but on the real, why not try a hit and run?

Because "We don't want to take the bat out of anybody's hands."

Stealing is only stupid when you get caught

Trout really does it all :x throws out Adam Jones at second on a fly from the warning track.

Trout is the ******* man

If there's a left handed hitter up, why did Donnie leave RF open? Wouldn't you assume pull and leave LF open instead?

(Of course this assumes his spray chart doesn't show a lot of opposite field hits)

On the bright side, at least your team isn't like the Marlins
