Hendricks only threw 80 pitches, and I could have been inclined to let him have another inning.

I want Cubs-Astros because I want to watch as little potential cold/rainy baseball as possible. Then you want LA vs Astros -
Discuss NLDS vs. Dusty Baker's Nationals
minnesotacubsfan replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The Nationals made a lot of dumb decisions. Wieters moves up on pitches way too much, hence getting interference called, and getting knocked in the head. Werth is just horribly awful in the outfield, He is a Schwarber equalizer on defense. No reason to be leaning too far off base in that situation = don't get picked off. Both teams were terrible with LOB, 15 and 19. Can you point to an egregiously bad decision he made that cost him the game? The most idiotic thing he did to me was challenging the first play- that was Marc Trestman like. But many people would argue Joe managed the game as poorly as Dusty. If the pickoff doesn't happen and Wade blows up in the 8th, that decision to blow the whole pen and then put him in the 7th would be second guessed forever. You can also point to game 7 last year. But Dusty's players horsefeathers up over and over. Everyone loves to blame managers because everyone can second guess them. Most people have such limited understanding of basketball or football Xs and Os that they can't be second guessed to the same degree. But in the end, baseball managers are most important for team morale and motivation. Their in game decision making is overrated. Not to say its not important, but overrated in general. Bringing in Scherzer was boneheaded -
Why do so many people thunk the Cubs will starr Lackey? Quintana threw what amounted to a bullpen session, he'll be fine for Saturday. If you're going to have to start Lackey in one of the first two, which they'll have to do unless they bring Lester or Arrieta back on short rest, might as well give Quintana the extra day off. Agreed. Let lackey go against God. Dont blow what could be a solid start by Q facing God. Cubs wont beat Kershaw unless the offense hits another gear anyway

I think Joe thought it was fine to give him a shot up 3 runs. But it sucks CE Jr couldn’t find the zone
