    Unless he gets a DP here, I’d take Lester out after Reynolds.
  2. soccer10k
    KB out with oblique tightness so that’s great.
  3. soccer10k
    12 hits but your point still stands.
  4. soccer10k
    The first part of the season. That’s it. And the rest of the division is kind of crap also.
  5. soccer10k
    Off to a good start I see.
  6. soccer10k
    Was 4-0. Now it’s 4-4 and still two on and one out.

    I get the frustration. Game 1 went OT and this one they were up double digits in the first half so they’re really close to being up 2-0 and probably should be at 1-1. If it was pretty much anyone else in the Celtics blowing up you could sell me on the team imploding angle.
  8. soccer10k
    Is the team imploding or is Smart just kind of crazy?

    I think you build up Q with the intention that he’s going to get, at most, one time through the lineup. As weird as it sounds, Lester and Mills are in a competition for that #3 spot. Might end up being match up based, but they’ve both put up impressive outings lately. Here’s a dumb idea: Darvish goes out and wins game 1...do you save Hendricks and hope you win game 2 without him? No I don't think so. I can see the appeal of making sure Hendricks starts game 1 of the NLDS, thus giving you the option of starting him in Game 5 on 3 days rest but I'd rather get there first and figure it out. If you win Game 2, you have 3 full off days before Game 1 of the NLDS so you can start your Wild Card G1 starter in G1 of the NLDS if you want. It's going to be interesting to see how teams approach Game 5 of the NLDS with no off days. Either you start your ace on short rest, your 5th starter, or perhaps a bullpen game. Yeah, the extra days off make a difference. Your WC Game 1 starter would be ok 5 days rest going into G1 of the NLDS so the same would be the case for G2. Even if there was only 1 day off between G3 of the WC round and G1 of the NLDS, you do what you need to do to advance and worry about the next round if you get there.

    The latter works for me. If it does go 3 games, I feel like Ross will justify it with Lester being a proven vet who has shown up in big games before. I'm torn. Mills has obviously been the better pitcher this year and Lester clearly isn't wasn't what he once was, but Mills doesn't have any playoff experience. I would hope, whoever Ross would choose if we play a Game 3, that he has a quick hook.
  11. soccer10k
    You think Ross would go Mills over Lester in Game 3 if we played it?
  12. soccer10k
    Thank you, Javy!
  13. soccer10k
    PUT THE horsefeathering BALL IN PLAY. Good lord this is annoying.
  14. soccer10k
    KB-Rizzo-Willy with a runner on second. Need to end it now.
  15. soccer10k
    That was terrible from Happ and KB. Need some contact there.
  16. soccer10k
    Think I'm going to take the 30th off work. 8 guaranteed playoff games including 4 elimination games is just too tempting. Could have 8 the next day also but that's pretty unlikely.
  17. soccer10k
    10-38 from their big 2 though, wow. Absolutely dismal. Compare that to the Nuggets. Murray went 15-26 and outscored Kawhi and PG 40-24. Jokic was 5-13, which isn't great but still way better than Kawhi/PG, and he added 22 boards and 13 assists.
  18. soccer10k
    They've got the hardest remaining schedule out of the 3 - White Sox, Brewers and Twins. Might come down to if the Twins need the games.
  19. soccer10k
    Paul George is going to catch some heat after this one. Kawhi was bad also but he's at least won 2 titles and shown up in big moments. George hasn't.
  20. soccer10k
    W!
  21. soccer10k
    They said early in the game that Doc is the only coach to have lost 2 series when his team is up 3-1.
  22. soccer10k
    End it now, Cubs.
  23. soccer10k
    Come on Rizzo, end it.
  24. soccer10k
    Get it to the bottom half tied and it won't get there. We'll walk it off before.
  25. soccer10k
    Get him out of there. He doesn't have it.
