I wouldn't think he'd make it, but some starting pitcher will get a long relief role. Haren has pitched in the postseason before and I could see him getting the nod.

couldn't resist the chance for easy pickings

The Quotable Joe Maddon (pure goodness thread)
jersey cubs fan replied to RynoRules's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
What did he say for us out of towners? If cubs scored one more wood was coming in. Jake wasn't overly stressed and while it was a tough decision Jake was within the range of where joe felt comfortable sending him back. More than that and made it clear he took a thoughtful approach to the decision rather than some meatball thing. -
What'd he say? Something about sabr and stats watering down but 20 games mattering. Harmless for holly standards.

Very well said explanation by madden in post game. He's very good. -
Holly mixing in an anti sabr comment. Good boy

I hate how many times I've looked back at that gamelog.
-
Yup

I am very sympathetic to the concept of pitcher abuse but do not think they've done anything wrong with Arrieta.

not that i'm defending the decision, but joe said he's the most well conditioned athlete he's ever been around. he really doesn't look like he ever labors and so i'm sure there is truth behind this mentality, but it doesn't seem like it's necessary. And Mark Prior had perfect mechanics. This decision was [expletive]. Mark Prior got [expletive] up by a [expletive] Achilles, getting clobbered on the basepaths and taking a linedrive off of the elbow. Yeah, Dusty sucked and WAY overused him (in his ROOKIE season; Jake's been around), but the narrative has mutated to the point that people talk like overuse and mismanaging is basically all that destroyed him. That narrative is correct and this is nothing like it. Arrieta isn't a kid nor is he injured.

Seriously, anybody who doubted him should feel shame.

Beautiful

Probably

Lester will go Game 1 and Arrieta would be on short rest game 2, no? So wouldn't a bullpen game most likely be game 2? Arrieta goes game 3? Isn't the DS Schedule the Friday and Saturday after the WC game on Wednesday for games 1 and 2? NL schedule: WC game Wednesday October 7 Then Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday Thursday. WC game pitcher won't be available until Game 3 (on normal rest). Game 2 would be 2 days rest and bad idea. I think you throw Lester game 1 and if you win you go bullpen game 2, Arrieta game 3, Hendricks game 4, Lester Game 5.

more piggybacking!

http://deadspin.com/john-tortorellas-conference-call-got-hijacked-by-pranks-1732407961 Pranksters steal an old nsbb (or was it pre-nsbb) trick and hijack a conference call for USA Hockey coach Tortorella.
