Nothing like changing the entire way your team plays the game for #163. I understand it. This is one game in (I believe) a pitchers park going against a starter who is in a historically dominant run. I mean the last time the Pirates faced Jake it was a 2 hit shutout and he's dominated them all year. At some point you need to try a new approach when you absolutely have to win a game against him. Plus they have a (slightly less but still very) dominant pitcher going, they are confident he can limit the Cubs offense and make this a really low scoring game. But I also understand the Cubs offensive focus. You hope there is a little rust to start the game, try to jump on him early and then ride your God-mode pitcher to the NLDS.
