10/2/18 NL WILD CARD Rockies (Freeland) @ CLERBS (Lester) 7:00 CST ESPN

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey everybody! The mighty CLERBS, they of the 95-win, almost best record in the NL season, have been reduced to playing the NL Wild Card game. There's really only one way to look at such a revoltin' development:

 

 

It's days like this that really have someone thinking deep, deep thoughts about life and destiny...

 

 

There's still some people here who think the CLERBS have a shot of not kicking themselves in the hinder. Well, if you're one of them...

 

 

Though, hey, maybe there IS a chance that the Cubs win. Maybe I just need to think positive.

 

 

But if Joe tries any of his bullpen bull horsefeathers tomorrow?!?

Maybe the Cubs do re-emerge and win handily, something that's as rare these days as...

 

 

It just felt like after a clash of Midwest titans, things needed to be represented by the ultimate Midwest TV show.

 

 

 

Go Cubs.

Contract the Clerbs.

 

Did you think we were playing the VBs with that video?

Nah; I just had the Cubs playing Freeland all by himself.

[Gilby]

Lester will throw 7 shutout innings with a FIP of 10.50, that I am confident of.

 

Not sure about the bats

[PackLandVA]

The Cubs aren't gonna score more than 1 run off of Freeland, are they?

The extra 0 is for how many runs the cobs will score.

If mst3k doesn’t lead to a win nothing will

[UMFan83]

Freeland is going to mow us the hell down. I don’t care if it’s 3 days rest. If we win it’s a 2-1 type of game

[UMFan83]

Freeland has 2 career starts against the Cubs. Last year at Coors 6 IP, 3 ER and this year at Wrigley 7 IP, 3 ER

 

Despite this, the current Cubs have combined for a .475 OPS against him. The only Cub with any success is pre-broken KB who is 2-5 with a triple against him

[Brian707]

10-4 Cubs

The 3 days rest thing, (is it accurate?), is a big deal

Is it? I’ve seen pitchers throw great games on 3 days rest and I’ve seen them get shelled.

Me, too.

For real though, we're fine, so long as nobody repeats the mistakes of the SBTB thread and posts something from the remake.

As a whole starting pitchers are worse on 3 days rest but yeah I’m sure there’s ones that do fine on it.

 

Edit: Freeland has done it once....

 

3IP 5H (3 2Bs) 2ER 1BB 0Ks

I have negative confidence.

As a whole starting pitchers are worse on 3 days rest but yeah I’m sure there’s ones that do fine on it. Freeland has never done it before as a starter.

 

I read that he started on 3 days rest after a relief appearance last year and got lit up

 

Edit: nvm it looks like they moved him to the pen at the end of last year, presumably to preserve his innings and still get value from him during playoff chase. He ended up starting once more and gave up 2 ER in 3 innings

Jon knows this and has already game planned around his solo HR. you are not going to defy this redassed, pissed off, almost-hunting-season stud. just stop already.

Ask Corey Kluber about Game 7.

 

Yes I know he shut us down in Game 4 on short rest and I don’t give a horsefeathers.
