Well actually you did say you would like to avoid that trio. My point is, they hit 2 of those 3 guys pretty well and the other they didn’t face. But the other has been struggling as much as guys like Imanaga and Boyd, the month of August. And we see how much Cubs fans trust those guys. Maybe not you specifically, but several posters have suggested the Cubs can’t beat the Phillies because of their rotation. Never mind we hit their main guys. Never mind our offense and defense is far superior to the Phillies. They have 3 studs at the front of the rotation the Cubs can’t touch. So Cubs can’t compete. 

okay but I don't know why you're attributing all that stuff to me. I just was answering a question of who I would rather have the cubs face. I agree the cubs are a better team than the phillies

Javy is starting tomorrow per Marquee

I would never start him against the Brewers ever, they clearly have a tell on him

Shota draws a ton of chase but is in trouble if you force him into the zone.  Brewers never chase.

You have to beat the Brewers by absolutely pounding the zone.  Like I don't think Assad is better than Shota but if we see them in the playoffs I'd absolutely give Javy the ball.

Wow.  That would work, too.  I guess it's been 15 days tomorrow.  And, it's easier for Javy to pitch against the Marlins than the Brewers.

Don't really consider them a threat nevertheless, down go the Diamondbacks.

I’m not. I even said “maybe not you specifically”. I only quoted you because of your comment on the Phillies rotation. I wasn’t  going to look back at other posts suggesting how much better the Phillies were because of those pitchers. Anyone reading posts knows it is brought up often.

Two bad chases by Pete.  Haven't seen that in a while.

He wants number 40.

Seiya is hitless in his last 17 at bats. At least he’s not rolling over everything, just isn’t pulling.

Actually it is last 17 PA. He is hitless in 13 AB over that time with 4 walks added. He is struggling a little, but is taking some walks. It is just baseball being baseball. Guys hit and they they stop hitting. He will hit again. Hopefully starting today.

I am very happy to have been concerned over nothing with Shota. He pitched very well yesterday. But, I was right about a Shota to Civale plan by Craig. I like that plan and hope they do it again when he faces the Pirates next Friday.

Shota was good tonight, except for the pitch on which PCA made a great play, he was locating, had the splitter working as well.  Still wouldn't start him in Milwaukee.

 he cut his hair and pitched a good game 😅
