Playoff Roster?

[chopsx9]

Any surprise omissions? Inclusions? Who's the back-up catcher?

[Old Style]

I'm assuming we won't know the official roster until Friday morning.

Wait what?! Is Rondon injured again? He hasn't been great but I can guarantee he would provide more value than Martin. Probably Wilson too.

That’s awesome. Can’t wait until we get Harper barrelling down the 3rd baseline giving you the ol buster posey. I mean, if one man can dream so can another

Me too. I'm gonna hug him and kiss him so much as we tumble to the ground, tangled in each other's arms, and you're gonna have to watch.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

at least we won't see both of the Justins?

As long as you get him to sign a 10 year league min to come to the north side in that process, I’m cool

No Koji either.

I assumed that is what the hugging and kissing was for

Dusty put 4 lefty relievers on the Nats roster, which is pretty smart considering 4 of the 5 games will likely be started by RHP and the Cubs will probably load the lineup with lefties in those games and then have to replace them later in the game. The thing is though that the Cubs have plenty of quality righties on the bench to replace those LHB with, not to mention Happ and Zobrist are switch hitters

Well, right now I think he's allergic to baseballs being thrown at him because he must be sneezing or something when they get near him.

He also doesn't really have anyone worthwhile to bring instead of guys like Solis and Romero. I guess he could've tried Cole as a long reliever, but not a terribly difficult choice since Ross and Kelley's arms blew up, leaving the alternatives to be guys like Cole and Jaxon.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

No Koji either.

 

It's been hinted that he's likely out for the rest of the season due to injury.

He had an infection in his knee didn't he?

[Wilson A2000]

Rondon hasn’t given up a earned run or a walk in like 10 appearances. Even L/R splits while Wilson has a 9+ ERA with the Cubs against lefties. Wilson has some good numbers against Murphy, but that’s when Wilson was good. Joe isn’t going to put Wilson in a situation that’s critical against the Murphy or Harper anyway.

Rondon hasn’t given up a earned run in 10 appearances and just one walk in that span. Even L/R splits while Wilson has a 9+ ERA with the Cubs against lefties. Wilson has some good numbers against Murphy, but that’s when Wilson was good. Joe isn’t going to put Wilson in a situation that’s critical against the Murphy or Harper anyway.

Oh I think he will
