Looks like Counsel is going to go with Imanaga for game 2. Another big Counsel mistake. Imanaga should NOT be starting before Rae, Taillion, or Assad. He gives up too many homers and doubles. And he doesn’t have as much rest as Assad. Counsel messed up when he took Assad off the Roster.

Well … Craig Counsel not only single-handedly put the Cubs into 2nd place, but he also single-handedly cost them game 1 in the NLDS and probably another game or two since he used half the bullpen and does not have Assad. Counsel has no clue when it comes to evaluating his own players. First he puts them into second place by playing the same players everyday in the hot summer months of July and August. Then he thinks Boyd is Superman who can pitch against a fully rested team, which happens to have the best record in the MLB on only three days rest. And to top it off, he cuts his most rested starter from the Roster. If Assad pitched game one, the outcome surely would have been far better. No way Boyd on 3 days rest is better than Assad on 7.
