Good news: it’s the guy who pitched the best this year 

bad news: it’s the guy who started game 1

Damn so it’s probably Peralta too? Stupid ass scheduling.

Live one more day.  Who the hell is pitching tomorrow?

Most likely Boyd . I think starting Boyd was a mistake in game 1 and I think it’s a mistake starting him tomorrow .

Since the offense was super hot in April and May when it was colder, and then cooled off when it got hot, maybe it’s just a cold weather offense.  It got chilly tonight and will continue to be so.   Just grasping at straws.  Wishing. 

Both of those offenses suck but the first inning offense is good at least.

Hey there is a chance the Phillies get eliminated before the Cubs .

You can book this, Dodgers are starting to look like the unbeatable machine everyone thought they might be.

Yep. That’s really their only option right now. Ashby and mis over 40 pitches on Monday, priester and Quintana over 50 pitches today 

[s2obed]

Boyd’s home/away splits show he’s much better at Wrigley though.

[Caesar]

They should start Ben Brown. He’s owned the Brewers this year.

[gflore34]

What frustrates me most is continued struggles against bad pitching.  Make no mistake Quintana is terrible and Anderson isn't much better yet, the Cubs couldn't touch them.

[Caesar]

Who are the Brewers starting tomorrow?

I think we going to see something big from Tucker tomorrow, I feel it's coming.

horsefeathers being in Europe is hard. Passed out on accident literally 15 mins before game started, woke up in bottom of the 8th and watched the end. Now have to somehow go to sleep for a couple hours before heading back to the airport. If the Phillies win I land at O’Hare 2 hours before game 4 starts. Go Cubs!

I like Ben better than Boyd starting tomorrow, too.  I know it sounds crazy, but at least let him start, and see how it goes.

[Caesar]

Start Ben Brown!

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

It'd be difficult for Boyd to be worse than G1.

I hope so, too, but I doubt it.  He hasn't shown anything big, since he came back.

We didn’t take advantage of it but the scheduling allowed us to get our bullpen rested after the WC round and allows us to use our Game 1 starter in Game 4 (gulp). Helps both teams to some degree.

That's true, but Ben probably won't be worse than the Boyd's G1.

[Brian707]

Boyd will be fine tomorrow.  Cubs will light up Freddy.  Now if the Cubs learn you can score beyond the 1st inning they can win this horsefeathers
