10/1 GAME 163 Brewers (Chacin) @ Cubs (Q) 12:05p CST ESPN

[Brian707]

3-8 after starting out 8-1. So NLDS would be Hendricks Hamels Lester Q. Cubs will sweep the Brewers so Q isnt needed

[UMFan83]

 

well this seems like a bad idea

 

Guessing if he pitches, Monty would start game 2 of the NLDS, with Quintana available for a couple innings on 3 days rest.

 

Hendricks, Monty/Q, Lester/Hamels, Hamels/Lester, Hendricks.

They can get an inning or two with normal rest period. I think it is a great idea.

Hendricks, Monty/Q, Lester/Hamels, Hamels/Lester, Hendricks.

 

No reason to pitch Q in game 2 on short rest

There is when you dont trust Monty to go more than a few innings. Plus otherwise there is no use for him in the series if you assume Hamels and Lester will get starts and Hendricks game 5.

I hate short rest and using side session days as actual bullpen appearances.

Yeah using Q and Lester in relief in the NLDS hurt them in the NLCS last year... though the Cubs weren't scoring anyways so it didn't really matter.

Agreed, gonna end up as a 12 car pileup like the playoffs last year.

what a truly pathetic game

So the corpse of Cishek, Kintzler, Wilson or Edwards?

[jersey cubs fan]

what a truly pathetic game

were you on tape delay?

[TMan92]

Welp. Look like the Rockies.

[TMan92]

what a truly pathetic game

 

I have seen the movie way too many times this year.

yeah my warning of "hey guys sometimes teams with worse run differentials win divisions because things like health and performance can change drastically over the course of 162 games rendering early season totals as moot"

 

I'd really like to see one of your posts that was this rational and used actual logic instead of just lashing out in anger.

 

We can all agree on that. And, yes, the Cubs having more talent and the best record in the NL meant they should have won the division. They didn't. We all know sometimes it doesn't happen. But usually it does. That's why we weren't freaking out in horsefeathering June.

 

lol if you want to mistake "calmly" dismissing the brewers viability as a division opponent for 5 months as analysis, be my guest. I think we can line our posts up on the topic and let history judge that one.

 

Again, no one, not even me of all people, was "freaking out in horsefeathering june." I was trying to explain to people like you that despite allllll the built-in benefits we go into the season with, the margin between what we were at that point in the season and what the brewers were at that point is the season was not wide enough for all the dismissive bragging.

Especially when every post season pitching acquisition is injured or terrible.

i actually weirdly had a dream last night that Jesus Aguilar hit a missile in the first inning against us today to dead center that was fielded by a player in a Reds uniform. the announcers brushed it off by saying they didn't have time to get him a cubs uniform since theo had only traded for him earlier in the game.

i didn't watch that FILTH

It's a lovely story but you keep leaving out the part where you blinked, apologized to Duke and jinxed the season.

[Schwarber Fan]

Well you know what usually happens when the Cubs and Rockies get together. Actual heart attacks are on the table tomorrow.

[17 Seconds]

was q getting hit hard or something? can i trash joe for taking him out after 64, leading to the cubs using their brigade of trash relievers in the pivotal 8th?

Those two could have saved the season with some angry, angry ass-sucking.
