9/21 Brewers (Peralta) @ Cubs (Hammel) 7:05 PM CSN

[Cubswin11]

I wonder if Hammel will throw a hissy fit when Joe comes to pull him in the 4th when he's thrown 80+ pitches and given up 4+ runs

[UMFan83]

Let's just do a bullpen game for playoff games Arrieta and Lester don't pitcher

 

I'm probably going insane but I'm coming close to agreeing with this. I could totally see Maddon doing this too.

 

Edit: ok not for all non-Lester/arrieta starts but maybe in place of a 4th starter, given we don't have expanded rosters in the playoffs

i mean i, too, was frustrated with the first inning but some of these posts are pretty damn crazy tonight.

Good to see you back with us, ARCubsFan. How serendipitous for you to be available to comment on this game.

the ones about hammel being trash or dumb for making a terrible pickoff throw to turn a possible DP for no runs situation into a run, a runner on 3rd, and no DP when even making a pickoff throw made no sense?

 

i thought they were OK and i was captain save triple H for a while

no they were fine. he was a dumbass for making that throw.

 

it was mainly the ones about "let's just have a bullpen day when not a lester/arrieta starter in playoff" posts. which, umfan already owned up to. I mean I get it, it was frustrating, but let's not think that clayton [expletive] richard would be a world beater out there as a starter. (except rondon fan truly does believe that)

oh i figured those were jokes

[weis21]

normally i'm pretty good at picking up the sarcastic jokes. at best maybe one person i was joking.

[Schwarber Fan]

I do not believe Richard would be a "world beater." I believe there's a better chance he could give us 5 or 6 solid innings than running Hanmel out there time after time.

yeah I almost said something about the histrionics myself

 

Bad inning, but it was 3 singles and a bad pickoff throw, plus 2 Ks. Pretty tame as far as bad innings go.

How hard is the wind blowing in? I'm kind of interested to see if the Cubs offense adjusts well now that evenings are a bit cooler and less likely to have the wind blowing out.

fwiw i could've sworn i saw a tweet that the wind was blowing in on saturday (specifically for soler/bryant b2b)

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Seriously, Dexter?

[UMFan83]

That...was strange

[weis21]
