Other starters of interest against each other this year: Hendricks: 8 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 6/1 K/BB, 1 HR, 1 HBP Arrieta: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 8/4 K/BB Montgomery: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 5/4 K/BB, 1 HBP Urias: 11 IP, 14 H, 7 R(6 ER), 12/3 K/BB, 3 HR Lackey, Kershaw, and Hill did not pitch in those 7 games. -
Yep, Maeda made 32 starts, dearly departed Scott Kazmir was 2nd with 26, and Kershaw made 21. In other fun trivia, the one run Lester gave up against the Dodgers was a home run by Hernandez, who wasn't on the NLDS roster and doesn't look to be a probable addition for the NLCS.

Lester faced the Dodgers in both series, and unsurprisingly did quite well. June 1st in Chicago: 9 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 10/0 K/BB, 1 HR August 28th in LA: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 6/2 K/BB That's a 0.60 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, and 8 K/BB for those scoring at home. Maeda managed to avoid the Cubs in those 2 series.

Championship Series Thread

The alternatives are Hill(would be on 2 days rest after throwing 55 pitches on 3 days rest) or Urias(would be on 2 days rest after throwing 30 pitches in his first series action). Given that they made multiple starts on 3 days rest to avoid starting Urias already, and their kid gloves handling of him all year long, I'm not sure they're super keen on him starting a game on 2 days rest even if he did only throw 2 innings/30 pitches. -

Tripp Gibson as a replay official seems like a joke that went a little bit too far. -
Divisional series thread

Things I didn't know: the Nationals/Expos have won 1 playoff series in their 48 year existence, the 1981 NLDS which featured a minor league style first half winner v. second half winner because the players went on strike. -

Lackey starting with Montgomery entering the game the moment anyone reaches base the 2nd time thru the order is probably the best case scenario. By starting Lackey you ensure that Montgomery(who could conceivably go 5 innings himself) gets matched up with the lefty heavy lineup, at least to start. You could apply the same approach to Zastryzny too, I think he and Montgomery are better used as immediate and multi-inning relief of different starters than as a combo. -
Baez still needs to earn any playing time against RHP, even if Heyward moves to CF.
-
Lester has only started on 3 days rest twice in his career, most recently 5 years ago. 9/28/11: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 5/4 K/BB, 1 HR - Previous outing was 2.2 IP and 55 pitches 4/23/08: 5 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 1/2 K/BB, 2 HR - Previous outing was 6.1 IP and 106 pitches Given the strength and depth of the bullpen, I would rather they start Lackey and aggressively pull him after one trip through the order than start Lester on 3 days rest.

That's the first crying Jordan that I've laughed at in a long time, maybe ever
-
You could at least include a carrot.
-
I'm sorry I've just been told that the Cubs won the series in an EVEN number of games. Northsidebaseball regrets the error.

POUR IT ON
-
I just now realized we double switched Fowler out of the game and not Heyward.
-
Law may never be more than a middle reliever, but he'll always have an endorsement deal waiting for him.
-
why are you double switching Soler into the game, if you want to pinch hit for Heyward just do it after he plays defense
-
Worse. Zobrist shouldn't start game 5 I say this in the gentlest way possible, you have made a lot of very bad posts today.
-
why on earth would they let Moore hit
-
okay, 3rd time thru the order on Moore plus a tired pen, go to work
-
The Cubs are 1 for 11 with a sac fly and a HR
-
The Giants are 10 for 19 on balls in play today, plus 2 sac flies
