Heck the '79 Pirates were down 3-1 and won the Series. It ain't over 'til it is over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Since 1995 (which is as far back as I looked), only the 96 Yankees (World Series vs the Braves) and the 2004 Red Sox (ALCS vs the Yankees) have dropped the first 2 games at home in a 7 game series and went on to win that series. And with Strasburg, Corbin, Sanchez, and Scherzer again waiting for them, the Cardinals face steep odds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reds series I was talking about was 5 game series and won the first two on the road and had 3 straight at me. The Giants then went on to win all 3 in a row at Cincy.

Billingsley99 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I hope I don't put the kiss of death on him but just heard and did not realize Cole has not lost a game since April. 18-0 in last 24 starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your point yes it will I'd agree with that. The only resume that stacks up to Maddon's that they've interviewed so far is Girardi's. The difference is in their respective philosophies. I think it's interesting that Theo is determined to see the interview process through. You would think if anyone had blown him away, the announcement would have already been made.

I have no disdain for Harper. I enjoy seeing teams succeed after losing the franchise player. Just like I enjoy seeing guys have success when teams cut them.

Well, we'll see. I think the Cubs needed a change. On a different note, I wonder how people who were condemning the Nats front office a few years back for shutting Strasburg down during the playoffs in 2012 feel now?

Cant disagree I just feel the new manager may not deliver the now expected results. That's perfectly fine by me. Exactly a front office looking at the future and a top player as a long term investment and not a win at all cost disposable asset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
