This lineup doesn't make sense. Garcia makes his living on a sinker and changeup that have great movement away from righties. Not sure how Joe can look at Garcia's stuff and the way Schwarber is hitting and not put him in there.
Damn. I was so so confident this game would be a win. I really don't like the Garcia matchup either. He also has some pretty big reverse splits, so Maddon will have to keep some lefties in there, but a lot of them struggle with southpaws.
I have a really weird feeling Ross is going to catch up to a fastball for the first time since 2014 and hit a dong tonight. I know he's super old and old guys lose ability quickly, but he hit for good power as recently as last year. I just feel like he's going to show it this postseason. Probably not though.
I'd like to see a much higher percentage of backdoor cutters from Lester the second time through the order. Pounding inside is an unnecessary risk with Cuzzi back there,
