    Its a lot different than facing Kluber in a World Series game, so there's that. How, exactly, is LaStella much more ready for that?
  2. Tim
    Yeah. I mean the downside is he goes 0-3 or 0-4 or something instead of what Coghlan or maybe Soler vs. a righty would've done. The downside would be him trying to run the bases and aggravating the newly reconstructed knee. He's been cleared medically. As much as Theo + Jed love the guy, I'm sure they wouldn't let him go if it weren't safe.

    What makes people think they don't have Hammel, Cahill, etc. down there throwing him pitches during this break? Or that he's not facing live pitching at the minor league complex in addition to his game time? I guess what I'm saying is that I'm sure the Cubs will find a way to get him additional reps on top of what he's seeing in the AFL.

    Welcome back, everyone!

    Cubs are favored 61-39 on 538 and 63-37 on Fangraphs. Let's do this.
  7. Tim
    We've got this. Cubs in 5
  8. Tim
    It's up around 50% so far. We'll see how the WS goes
  9. Tim
    Yeah, I posted a while back that it is only the second time in postseason history a team has faced the minimum. The other being Don Larson, of course.

    Yo!

    As this article notes, the Indians will have a pretty big dilemma on their hands when they're at Wrigley. A big chunk of their offense this year came from the combination of Napoli and Santana, but they'll only have one position for them. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/sunday-notes-dh-dilemma-indians-gallardo-glasnow-hof-managers-more/

    Not to mention Kimbrel, Papelbon & KRod. I'd bet pretty strongly on Britton maintaining his excellence at least a couple more years, too.

    Chapman has had a pretty good five year run and is still going strong.

    Hell, it is the first time they've been in the NLCS or better in back to back years since 1906-1908 Oh, Derwood you have no excuse as you were post-edit.
  15. Tim
    But I blame being hung over.
  16. Tim
    I've used my superpowers to make you guys look silly instead of me.

    Actually, Brett Cecil jumps out at me. If we really wanted to invest some of that post season money and go all year with a super pen, sign Jansen and Cecil. Jansen / Rondon / Cecil / Strop / Edwards / who cares
  19. Tim
    So we are set to lose Chapman, Wood and Smith as free agents. We'll definitely need to bring in another lefty. Possibly two if Monty will be considered for the rotation. I feel pretty good already about a Rondon/Strop/Edwards back of the pen. I'd feel even better with a dominant lefty in there, too. But nothing is jumping out at me as a good option while scanning through the FA list.

    Also, I'll go with what CubmanPi suggested here. soccer10k is still up until the Cubs lose a game. Then we'll start one as Fred. If the Cubs sweep, we'll do opening day 2017 with Fred.
  21. Tim
    Yes, exactly what Sofa said. I've made it really easy to register these days, so it isn't a big hurdle for people to get across in order to view the game forum.
  22. Tim
    and this is where I pass out. Love you all!
  23. Tim
    nope
  24. Tim
    Holy crap do I love this team.
  25. Tim
    Indeed! I want to see Jon, 1908, Cuse, NC, and all the other old timers here.
