Good thread to read through

The other thing about Hamels is, well yes he was likely due for regression regardless and last night he was just bad, but he started pitching completely different with us. I believe he started throwing his FB a ton more, specifically inside to RHB so maybe the league is catching up to him a bit on the new scouting reports and he needs to adjust his pitch mix a bit and/or execute better. -
hamels' total 2018 xfip is 2nd best on the cubs That just speaks more to how bad the rotation was for the first half+ as opposed to how good an option Hamels is in the playoffs. In the end they're gonna have to gauge whether it's more likely that everyone else's recent success is a fluke and they're likely to regress to first half levels, or that Hamels HAS already regressed to how he was before he was traded. Yeah I just think outside of Hendricks the other 3 are coin flippy in however you want to order them up. Jon probably gets a leg up for being Jon and his postseason history (looking at it from Joe’s drunk eyes), Q and Hamels just line up whoever matches up better with the opponent. It also looks like fall weather will be setting in at night starting next week, so hopefully that helps keep some Dongs in the park (especially for Hamels).

you're putting too much emphasis on 4 september starts to put hamels all the way down to 4th imo For the DS it doesn’t really matter outside of the game 1 starter since that’s the only guy who potentially goes 2 games. And if it’s the VBs I probably want Q going 1 and 5. Cardinals I’d want Kyle in that spot. I like Lester going game 2 as well since he’s theoretically be available out of the pen in a game 5.

Well, nevermind

Webster might be a thing. That slider is legit
-
What a leadoff hitter, he better not hit higher than 8th in the playoffs
-
Well, enjoy the off day fellas

Stupid horsefeathering stadium. Ray didn’t have it tonight though, too bad we didn’t take advantage/get lucky on some of the contact

Score some runs, idiots

Good thing Almora is good at hitting lefties...... Nice job on that 2-0 pitch you horsefeathers

The way too early, but I'm bored, Off-season Options Thread
Cubswin11 replied to davell's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The FA RP market is so deep I really have no interest in spending the money it would require on Kimbrel. Eovaldi seems like a ticking time bomb too, I’d rather just exercise the Hamels option if we’re spending on SPs. If it blows up, it’s only 1 year. -
I feel pretty confident it won’t come down to that Cardinals series
-
A little of "we should've traded for him" mixed with a little "Baez is empirically better" Even if you believed that, I can assure you that no one will explode in Yelich wins MVP Yeah I really don’t give a horsefeathers who wins the MVP, would love for Javy to win one but I really don’t care

I want to fire our advanced scouts who scout these no name players more than dr nick running the medical department

I hope Ahmed drowns in that stupid pool one day

This guy actually sounds kind of good, is he? Maybe? He’s kinda Morrowish in his journey

(I've used this gif before for the same context, but this gif is too perfect not to use for every single bit of rival injury news) I like this one for the same reasons -
Yeah, at least they have a DH this weekend to help get the position guys rest and also if they do their job from next Tue/Wed on the games won’t matter for a week +/-.
