So their top 4 SP for the postseason will be...

Holmes, Gausman, Imanaga, and either Boyd or Assad depending on matchup

They have 2 years left, you think theyll trade him

[chibears55]

Owen Miller can also play 1B, maybe Busch gets a few more days off in the next week or two.

It’s not going to be Assad.

I don’t think they trade him. I also think he will be a solid starter in ‘27. He isn’t the first pitcher to come over and be bad his first year. He has been a huge disappointment, but I doubt they cut ties with him.

He's controlled for years beyond. His value is at a low. It's very unlikely they trade him this off-season at his lowest value. It's almost impossible that they DFA him.

How many HRs are we going to need to overcome? 

I'll put the over/under for each game at 3.5

Looks like Shota's velo is the best, since the spring training.

Good. It dipped over the last 5. Very much he is a razor's edge type of arm; over 91mph and he's very good. Under 91mph and he's just...not nearly in the ballpark.

I know I was worried, too.  I just checked, and I know it's only one inning, but his 4 seam averaged 93.0mph. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I approve of this

[mk49]

horsefeathers.  Back to back!

[PeanutPunch33]

That's what the horsefeathers I'm talking about.  Extend him!

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

That ball had a family, Seiya

What a bitch move.

[PeanutPunch33]

Antonacci is such a bitch.  Good player, but a bitch 

[chibears55]

I take it that not reviewable or allowed to do now ? Nobody argued

[UMFan83]

Didn’t realize that you’re allowed to wear thick elbow guards and then lean into pitches to get on base.  Very classy
