As much as I love Shota, I'd give the ball to Matt game 1 as of today. Shota is still our ace but Boyd has earned it with his performance. Although, if Shota returns to form in a month that'll make it an interesting convo
Baseball is wild. They can't do anything vs some lefty no name on the Guardians yet they are going to chase Max horsefeathers Fried from the game early lmao
I agree, don't get why they don't just roll with their best players. Busch is a 2nd year player with plenty of upside vs lefties, not a 32 year old platoon
Give the Cubs credit, they were so epic in April vs LHP, against the likes of Patrick Corbin and Eduardo Rodriguez, that it's made people numb to the last 5-6 weeks.
this is why I think Philly is such a bad matchup in a playoff series. Ranger Suarez is the NL version of Skubal, Sanchez is great and they’ve already gotten blanked twice by Luzardo. That makes the Wheeler game a must win and… he’s one of the best pitchers in the game
giving happ that no trade clause was so dumb. Caissie will almost certainly be in a different organization in a few weeks. Just hope they get a true difference maker for it, like Gore
