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

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Rogers just tweeted that Murphy and Rizzo are the only LHH in the lineup today.

 

FWIW, he said IMO, FYI

 

That's a top 5 episode...IMO.

[Sammy Sofa]

Heck yeah.

Me watching the 2018 Cubs:

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Heck yeah.

 

This man DOES NOT wear a watch!

[gflore34]

Keeping up with the theme of 2018 season I expect a 11-2 Cubs win or a = 2> - 1 Cubs loss with Bote getting their first hit in the 6th. Edited October 2, 2018 by gflore34

Edwards is not on the roster for this game. Supposedly he has "right arm discomfort"

 

Strop is on it though

 

 

Kind of crazy to have Mills, De La Rosa and Rosario on a postseason roster, even if for the wild card game. Wouldnt have expected that 2 months ago

CJ has forearm discomfort after Sunday's appearance. Seems like he was throwing 92ish, someone better fire up with the F pitchers thread.

[abuck1220]

so dumb that strop didn't at least face one batter yesterday.

[soccer10k]

Really hope we don’t use Hendricks out of the pen.

I hope they use Lester, Hamels, Montgomery and Hendricks, then start Game 1 with Justin Wilson as an opener.

[Brian707]

Not that it matters much but Cubs opened at -125. It is now -145. Have the degenerates not seen our offense and bullpen?

Yep. I thought Morrow and Darvish would have been on based upon the smoke that was being blown up our butts. Kyle being on the roster is bizarre. If he came in for one or two guys is that possible if he is going to pitch on Thursday (if we win).

It's been a while since I've really looked at a wild card game roster, but isn't there usually an extra starter on the roster in case of 18 innings? Hendricks is there as an emergency.

 

edit: Lester and Hendricks were on the 2015 wild card game roster

Hamels and Mills are already on there.

 

ETA, and Monty, of course.

[Brian]

Hamels and Montgomery are on 2 and 1 days rest, and Mills is on 1 days rest without having gone more than 2 inings in a while.

Montgomery threw 33 pitches two days ago, and 62 five days before that. He should be fine.

[Flames24Rulz]

Cubs.com is selling a limited number of tickets at noon.

[Brian]

hopefully Kintzler is so offended by being left off the roster that he won't exercise his 5 million dollar option

[UMFan83]

thanks for the heads up. I don't think I'll go but I'll try to pull up tickets and if I do decide from there. I'm sure they will be the $300 seats though

Desperately hoping this is "Vegas Sharps" movement as opposed to "Massive Amounts of Idiot Public Money" movement.

[SparkMark1]

I was actually fortunate (or unfortunate depending on your view) to buy 2 tickets this morning. Can't get out of work tonight however. Early Christmas gift for Mom I guess. Lol

[Brian707]

Early starts Thursday and Friday at Miller park 407pm and 315pm.

They know no one will watch Brewers/Rockies

[UMFan83]

Of course, you can't have the Cubs off for too long.
