[poll] Who should start the WC game?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I know it depends on if we're facing the Cardinals, Brewers, or other. But in a vacuum, who would you pick?

[The_Achiever]

I think you've got it in the right order.

[minnesotacubsfan]

why are we planning on the WC again?

[Sammy Sofa]

I hate this thread and I hope a cow falls on you.

Jake Arrieta

When the worst thing the biggest doom boner can think of still involves your team making the playoffs...

Things aren’t going great but I think it would be overly pessimistic to count them out of the playoffs entirely

[Regular Show]

Jaime Garcia?

Are the Dodgers still weak to lefties?

[TMan92]

[CyHawk_Cub]

Just use Brian Duensing as an opener & quickly proceed to the sweet, sweet embrace of postseason death. Best to end the misery right away.

You inadvertently left an option off:

 

-- I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.

I can't help but think the gif is a proper reaction to this post. Hamels, Lester and Q look good against those splits.

not true. if the opposing team pitches their best pitcher, you want our best because we would likely pummel them 8-2. If they pitch their worst, then horsefeathers it season over

[champaignchris]

Not Brandon Morrow.

[soccer10k]

Chatwood.

[PackLandVA]

I would start Chatsuck. "Why", you ask.

 

Here's my strategy. Use Chatsuck and let him make one pitch. Worse case scenario, you're down 1-0 (Cubs clearly don't score in the first or are the home team). Reality is, the ball isn't anywhere near close to the hitting zone. So most likely, the count is 1-0 (as opposed to the score).

 

Immediately pull him and replace him with anyone else on the playoff roster.

 

I don't know if this would work or not. But at least at a critical point in the game (or any point for that matter), Drinky Joe would be unable to even think about using Chatsuck, let alone, actually bring him into the game.

I know you’re being silly here, but I’ve often wondered why in big games managers don’t start a starter that throws with one hand and then after an inning switch to a pitcher that throws with the other hand to gain the platoon advantage for the next five innings or so. Unwritten rules I suppose. And starters’ routines, yadayada.

I need to look into whether or not it's possible to ban a person for Sept-Nov only.

go ahead and ban him now and i will be very sure to remind you when it is time to unban him no worries

This is kind of how I banned sulley for 2 weeks and forgot to un-ban him.

At the risk of sounding self-centered...wait, was this because of me?

[squally1313]

Also the answer is two bad pitchers from two bad pitching staffs from two decidedly worse NL Central teams than the Cubs who will be competing to extend their season for 4 more games, max.
