    I don’t think cutting the lead from 6 to 5 counts as coming back. I know they had the bases loaded but still.

    It would be unbelievable if it wasn’t for that game against the Reds a week or two ago. Reds got two walks and a homer in the first off Darvish and he shut them down after but the Cubs didn’t score.
  3. soccer10k
    That’s not possible. We have the tiebreaker over them.
  4. soccer10k
    We’re going to get bounced from the playoffs in the first round because our offense no shows one game and scores 1 run on 4 hits and Ross blows a second game with some dumb pitching moves.
  5. soccer10k
    What? ? I’m guessing he means the second paragraph. Who cares what the Cardinal fans would say in that scenario. We would win the division and they can suck it.
  6. soccer10k
    Well it worked so well for Cleveland against us last week so it’s understandable that Ross would do the same thing.
  7. soccer10k
    Sucks that we’re going to go into each series down a game because Ross is going to blow a game in each series.
  8. soccer10k
    That’s a bingo.

    Per the Passan article on ESPN.com today, the Cardinals will play the Tigers doubleheader (or a game of it) if it determines whether someone makes the playoffs. They will not play the doubleheader merely to determine seeding. When determine seeding, they will go to winning percentage first. In your 30-28 versus 31-29 scenario, the Cardinals would get the better seed. The only way they’d play for seeding is the 4-5 which, while mathematically is still possible, obviously isn’t going to come into play.

    If the game gets rained out/cancelled it wouldn't result in a clinch. But yes, if the Cubs win, there's a heavily likely chance they clinch tomorrow. So the Cubs have the tiebreaker over the Giants then? Because if the Cubs win, they max out at 27 losses. If Mil-Cin gets postponed, they’re both at 27 and if the Giants lose, they’re at 27. So theoretically, the Cubs could then lose out after tomorrow, Reds win out, Phillies win out and Giants win out. All would then be 33-27. We’d also assume the Cards end up at 34-26 or better because if they win 32, Cubs would be top-2 in the division. I realize this is all largely irrelevant because the odds of all that happening aren’t even worth worrying about. Just curious as to the tiebreakers.

    Lester got out of that but Ross is still dumb.
  13. soccer10k
    Unless he gets a DP here, I’d take Lester out after Reynolds.
  14. soccer10k
    KB out with oblique tightness so that’s great.
  15. soccer10k
    12 hits but your point still stands.
  16. soccer10k
    The first part of the season. That’s it. And the rest of the division is kind of crap also.
  17. soccer10k
    Off to a good start I see.
  18. soccer10k
    Was 4-0. Now it’s 4-4 and still two on and one out.
  19. soccer10k
    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.
  20. 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.
  23. soccer10k
    You think Ross would go Mills over Lester in Game 3 if we played it?
  24. soccer10k
    Thank you, Javy!
