9/13 Stupid losers (Monty) @ Nats (Ross) 3:05 NBCSN

Wilson for closer in playoffs. Monty to the pen

[UMFan83]

 

No surprise there but it still hurts to read that

[TMan92]

At this point you need to shut down Cishek for a week too. I also think Edwards is hurt as his velo was way down.

 

Offense needs to score a crapload if runs.

aree we still going to bullpen the horsefeathers out of the playoffs

[itisallpartoftheplan]

 

But Seal Boy and Taylor Davis got some rest so it’s ok.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Starters just need to go deep into games for the rest of the season.

Monty will be in there and Strop could be back in 2 weeks. So still could. Monty/Chavez/JDLR/Wilson/Cishek/Carl/Maybe Strop Or Morrow is plenty workable. Give Mekkes and Webster a shot here too coming up see if something sticks.

Cubs win. But Strop dies. Further proof the world should’ve ended the day after the WS parade.

Monty is pitching well this year, he’s gotten big outs out of the bullpen before, he’s added a new pitch, he’s seen velo upticks out of the pen when he’s done it, he can go multiple innings, he’s a plenty fine leverage relief pitcher in the playoffs.

It ended a few weeks later

Even as much of a homer hawk is.

He'd call Maddon a moron for his decisions tonight if he were a sox manager

A pitcher with a hamstring problem back in two weeks? Not so sure.

Sometimes it’s okay not to post when all it is, is doom bonering and making back handed remarks about what others have said in the past.

 

oh brother. we all hoped that they'd be able to minimize the crappy rotation by using the horsefeathers out of our really good relievers in the postseason. the bullpen is now in a completely different than it was before, due to injuries and general ineffectiveness. saying "we can put montgomery there!" is a far cry from the original logic, and you know it.

 

if you're really desperate to take issue with the point, then you should just talk about how the rotation is in better shape now than it was then.

Fair enough but there’s still a way to throw decent options out there and still bullpen a few games, not what we wished but I don’t think we’re doomed. It is a good thing the rotation is better now. It’s been a weird year, let’s just try and enjoy this annoying ride I guess.

Question: Can the Cubs still trade for a reliever even though he’s not eligible for the postseason, or is there a date where no trading is allowed?

Yes. I think so.

[CubinNY]

This is almost as bad as a decision as putting in the wife choker star closer to pitch a game in the World Series and throw 47 pitches. It worked out ok. I’m not sure this one will.
