*** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

As long as it gets there (would gladly take a 3 game sweep for the good guys, would cry if it was the bad guys), I should be at game 4
 
ESPN says 5:08 PM Monday:

 
Boy if you could get Horton back to even come out of the pen that would be huge.

It's not worth risking his long-term, let him sit and cheer for the good guys. Milwaukee series is just best of 5, he'd likely only pitch one game for 5-6 innings at most in that series. We can roll with Assad or Rea instead, they're not awful.

There is no way for you or I to know if him pitching is risking his long-term. Obviously we don't want to do that, but if he's healthy then he should pitch.

Can you risk long term injury on a broken rib? Seems like it would 100% just be a range of motion/pain tolerance thing.
 
What’s everyone’s thoughts on pitching rotation for this series?

Who is on the mound for game 1?
Horton is starting pitcher in games 1, 3, 5 and closes games 2 & 4. Fortunately, all indicators indicate CUBS SWEEP.

Option B is: Boyd, Imanaga, then Taillon.
 
Would be huge if he could get healthy enough to pitch in the NLCS (if we can advance). Dont believe he is eligible to return from the IL until October 10, so the NLDS seems like a long shot.
