    Fangraphs has the Cubs as an extremely thin favorite to win Game 5 (based on their playoff odds metrics) 50.5% - 49.5%. They also do not respect either the Cubs or Brewers against the Dodgers, as LA has a 70.2% chance of winning the NLCS according to them and a staggering 44.8% chance of winning another title.

    Regardless of what happens, the Cubs will be one of the last 5 MLB teams playing this year

    He just crossed the threshold for most innings pitched in a season for him. I think giving him as much rest as possible is better, plus he’s simply better at Wrigley. Taillon has been pitching great and Horton hopefully is still pitching somewhere near the level he was at in September. I think those are the guys I want going not just in game 1 and 2 but games 5 and 6

    I think I saw 6 or 6:30 ct can’t remember edit: or 7 lol. Stupid jet lag
  5. UMFan83
    I…don’t think that’s how it works edit: never mind I thought you were saying Brown starting G5 and getting hurt

    Are we all in agreement that we go with a pen game on Saturday? Shota should not pitch in the game. Save him for a game 3 against the Dodgers. getting WAY ahead of myself but Taillon, Horton, Boyd, Shota is good setup in a potential NLCS

    Kellers command has not been there the last 3 outings even if yesterday was an overall successful performance.
  8. UMFan83
    wtf was that Seiya haha

    All I’ve been able to get out of my kids is that it originated from a rap song

    It’s crazy how routine Nico made the play look.
  11. UMFan83
    This is why we don’t ever score any horsefeathers runs after the first inning. Ffs
  12. UMFan83
    We’re not scoring again are we?
  13. UMFan83
    Thanks for the free out Brewers!
  14. UMFan83
    Yep, I’m a bit nervous he hangs one
  15. UMFan83
    As my 9 year old says “make him throw a double play pitch”
  16. UMFan83
    Ok Boyd is scaring me
  17. UMFan83
    Swear all their hits are with 2 strikes.
  18. UMFan83
    Hell definitely go another with the bottom of the order due up. Just don’t know if he’ll pitch into the 6th with the top of the order due up for the 3rd time (if he retires the Brewers in order in the 5th)
  19. UMFan83
    Will happily say that I was completely against starting Boyd in game 1 and completely for him starting tonight. Also I would avoid Shota like the plague in Game 5 if we get there.
  20. UMFan83
    I think it’s a crosswind to RF
  21. UMFan83
    With Boyd pitching so well do continue to pitch him if he gets through 7-9 next inning (aka a 3rd time through the order), or not mess with it and go to the pen?
  22. UMFan83
    Damn Happ looked like he just missed another one
  23. UMFan83
    52 pitches through 2 for Peralta but Im not sure it’s a good thing necessarily for the pen to be in especially with an off day tomorrow (if the Cubs win) so no one would be down if the pen has to throw extended innings
  24. UMFan83
    I see we’ve gone into our post-1st inning offensive slumber once again.
  25. UMFan83
    I get ya but is the (I think) 29th playoff win in the last 80 years of Cubs baseball. They should all be enjoyed.
