“There’s a couple things I do,” Grandal said. “I slug, I walk, and I catch. In the playoffs, catching is No. 1, getting on base is No. 2, and slugging is No. 3. I’m hitting seventh, and there’s a reason why they have me hitting seventh. They want me to make sure I run the pitching staff like it’s supposed to be ran.
“Obviously the slugging wasn’t there then,” he said. “But, now, at any point at any time, one swing could change a lot of things. And it’s gonna be scary if that one swing happens. If I go on a tear, it’s gonna be a bad time for them. It takes one movement for me to figure it out. Until then, I’m gonna keep walking and keep getting my pitchers through.”
I'll admit, I think I'm the only one that doesn't like this idea. If you're up 3-1 (IF!) and you throw Kershaw and then lose somehow...ALL the momentum is with Chicago and the series is heading back to Chicago. Sounds awful.2-1 With the Phenom on the mound?? I like my chances.
if we win tonight, Throw CK tomorrow to closed it out....
Agreed. Gotta take care of tonight first...will be a challenge with the rookie on the bump. My body is ready.projecting for the future is always good, but i feel you gotta take each series one at a time and get by any way possible. if you're fortunate to get to the next series you figure it out then.
