Playoff Joe makes decisions that are logical and designed to get the best people in the game for every situation. I don't always agree, but I appreciate that approach and thought process. Playoff Dusty makes decisions based on antiquated assumptions about what roles are supposed to be on a baseball team. They may end up working out but I will let Playoff Joe manage circles around Playoff Dusty any day. Eh; I think they're more like Two-Face's coin. -
Playoff Joe and Playoff Dusty aren't as far off as I'd like. They definitely carpool in Joe's RV to the fishing trip.

self medicate with alcohol to take the edge off jk you are not allowed anywhere near that park tonight Oh, I'm not going. I couldn't handle it without being able to drink and heat like a food monster.

I don't think anyone was implying that Gio was garbage or anything. But he's also not Strasburg or Scherzer, so I think it's pretty reasonable to be optimistic in comparison. Hey, I'm actually optimistic about Hendricks, too; I was just a bit surprised at how it sounded like the Cubs have this big starting pitching advantage (and like he's fully rested but Gio isn't).
-
I think I'm being the pessimist to psych myself out of going to the game tonight. The more I think about it, the more it feels like an anxiety attack waiting to happen.
-
Don't use Q. Hendricks and Montgomery(and I guess Lackey) can get you 6 innings. I'd be stunned, STUNNED, if Hendricks runs into some early trouble and Joe doesn't panic and go to Quintana if the game is still relatively close.
-
fwiw, gio was getting shelled in september, though that obviously didn't fully manifest itself into anything on saturday. i'm happy to face him after back to back scherzer, strasburg starts though. and we mash lefties. Hey, great; he got shelled in September. The dude's a good pitcher. It's silly for anyone to act like in a one game-playoff it's gonna be snob vs. slob out there.
-
To the gallery of yapping dingos: No, I don't think the gulf between Gio and Hendricks is such that the Cubs have some obvious huge advantage in their starting starting pitcher tonight, nor does that Hendricks being on full rest have anything to do with anything when whoever the Nats have going to start will also be at least at full rest, so what did that have to do with anything in the first place??! I think the starting pitcher situation is tilted slightly in the Cubs' favor. SLIGHTLY.
-
Lester because yesterday was his "side day?" Or Lackey...not sure what else you do unless Hendricks just mows them down and never gives Joe a chance to use Q. Did someone leave Montgomery in Chicago? WTF. No, they need him to come in after Lackey implodes in the 3rd.

Uhhhhhhhhh...not a big Gio Gonzalez fan?

But seriously; this LeonDurham guy posts like a real butt trumpet.

Hey, it would be a welcome horsefeathering change of pace from Joe's, "well, let's give each guy at least 3-4 chances to REALLY horsefeathers it up"-approach.

Some dude from the Dodgers' parking lot.
-
Sure, but he's being backed by the worst postseason offense of all time*. *Please do not fact check this.
-
I guess you could say they really....grind your gears.
-
GEE, I WONDER WHY. this is hilarious considering the rest of my posting history.
-
Let's see how cocky you motherlubbers are if I go in on this ticket being offered to me for tonight's game. WHERE'S YOUR TOSSED SALAD AND SCRAMBLED EGGS NOW.
-
i don't know how you guys can be very confident or expecting doom. i just kinda go into playoff games fearing bad stuff but with zero expectation either way... GEE, I WONDER WHY.
-
I guess I think the Cubs lose, 2-0.
-
The Cubs' offense is made of butts, and not the good kind.
