Yea, because one [expletive] pitcher would have turned this whole series around. It wouldn't have hurt? But that complaint went out the window when every single SP acquired except Happ and Price were not good. We were in talks for Ross but SD wanted the moon for him Right. Maybe having a top-end pitcher last night leads to that top-end pitcher pitching top-end. Maybe not; but that certainly could have changed the series (and obviously then Hammel would not have started). Top end starting pitcher = Cubs win Central division, have home field. Arrieta doesn't have to start WC game.
