except for the Utley veteran factor Utley has shown himself as every bit the veteran presence as one could ask the highest of competitiveness yet always respectful team mate friendly, clubhouse leader and media savvy with a home team focus. Gotta give props. His D is a half/ three quarters step slow but the vast intangibles lift him up, far up above the others your basic point? Yep Uggh.. but my confidence in Utley coming through in the clutch gives him the solid nod and he has a RING. He knows. No BS, no hype, always as much performance as he can muster, always thinking ahead, NEVER loses game focus. And, he won before. BFD. Big.
meh whatever not like corey has been ripping the cover off the ball lately while playing gold glove defense yes we're losing a primary player, but it's just one guy this is a team cubs [still] have a bigger problem with their rotation/pen we are still the better team we play to our capabilities, we still win dodgers in 6 -- bookmark this post bkitches
You almost inspired me to get tickets for tonight's game. Almost. Anytime attend spontaneously, they lose
The only problem with that theory is that If he came back and had to be replaced they can't use him in the World Series or something to that effect. "Seager also would’ve been ineligible for the World Series if he’d been removed from the NLCS roster due to injury."
If the reg season was any indication the LAD offense is going to suck without Seager in the lineup That said, again, next man up Glad the pitching is set up..arms may have to carry them
Good points but I still think he is our glue guy and that we are fucked!!!!! When he's there the line-up is so long it's ridiculous. Plus the momentum we gained and the momentum the Cubs lost with the travel problems just became moot. Just my .02
something else to remember there's almost always some guy who has an unexpected hero postseason could be a guy like kiké or culberson another thing... corey missed 6/7 games from 6/24-6/30 we still won 5 of those 7 while outscoring our opponents 39-14 relax bkitches, we got this
Corey wasn't exactly hitting the cover off the ball. Really important player, no doubt, but a lot of us suspected his play dipped due a lingering elbow issue before this news.
Throwing in the towel before Clayton Kershaw even makes 1 pitch is just dumb. Always thought this series would come down to our pitching anyways
Clearly this is a huge blow. Our Zips projection shifted from us winning the series to us losing. But one scrub playing out of their mind for a week cancels it out. Maybe he'll be back for game 3? Just trying to find a way to be pumped again.
