Noted Cub killer Randal Grichuk against noted dong allower Shota Imanaga? Not shocked at all.

I hate that piece of horsefeathers.

At this point, Shota can’t be trusted in the playoffs. They might just have to roll with him though 

Don't really have many choices after Gausman and Holmes...

Imanaga, Boyd,  Peterson,  Cabrera,  Assad,  and Rea

Pick 2

Let's Go bats, need a response

After Boyd, the guy I feel best about giving a solid start is Rea.

I'll take my chances with Boyd tbh and pray he can regain his form from last season

[JBears79]

Has Imanaga given up a HR in every game this year?

[Derwood]

Can't walk people in front of Grichuk. Dude's OPS vs. lefties is over .900

[chibears55]

Make him pay for that error

No, at the beginning of the year he wasn't giving up anything.

[UMFan83]

Sure would have been nice to challenge that and make it a 3-0 count…

[PeanutPunch33]

Carson is good at challenging as a catcher but not as a hitter...

His HR/9 with Amaya catching is better than the league average this year.  

[Geographyhater8888]

This game has been particularly enraging with the luck.

[Jason Ross]

Rea and Assad have no business starting a playoff game. I get that Shota can give up home runs in a frustrating manner, but the Cubs are likely going to have a few guys like Steele, Brown, and Cabrera to go long out of the pen. 

Shota isn't going to have to go six. They're going to ask him to get 12 outs once in a series. That's it. And between Shota, Read, Assad, Shota is by far the better option.

Pretty much every ump sucks.😁

[Papa Cub]

Cmon offense - can’t let this be a one swing of the bat loss to these guys

[squally1313]

It’s four baserunners in 5 innings with 9 Ks. We should take that every time. 

[chibears55]

Alright bats, lets get 3 quick easy outs and get back in the field...
