MLB: ***Official 2018 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[CYdTracked]

The way this season has ended is proof why every game counts no matter what part of the season it is played. Those early games fans say "eh its early in the season" or "we have the best record in the NL so we're fine" would be nice to have a couple of those gone the other way right now

 

[CYdTracked]

Should be able to rest the bullpen A-squad for tomorrow.

Don't speak too soon... let's hope they can but that 2 run single makes things more interesting

 

[Cyched]

Brewers have blown the game open

Im not sure if Joe did it on purpose, but lining up game 163 with Quintana was genius. Best possible match up vs Milwaukee. Anyone know roster rules for 163? Do we get to keep expanded rosters, or back to 25?

 

[Clark]

I think I'd pitch Quintana tomorrow and save Lester for the wild card game or game 1.

I'd also have a very quick hook, obviously

I’m sure it’s a 25 man roster.

Lester and Hendricks and Hamels will be left off in place of some extra bats and bullpen arms.

Edit: DISREGARD

It's a regular season game so expanded rosters.

Do you know this to be true?

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Who’s Milwaukee throwing? Anderson?

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Pretty sure Jesse Rogers said 40 man

 

[stormchaser2014]

Do you know this to be true?

That's what I heard on Brewers TV.

 

[chuckd4735]

Who’s Milwaukee throwing? Anderson?

Either him or Chacin. Both have been lights out in Wrigley, so scary. Anderson would be my preference since he has had a long break and could be rusty.

 

[CyForPresident]

Chacin is lined up on normal rest for the Brewers

 

[chuckd4735]

Chacin is lined up on normal rest for the Brewers

...and Anderson has not pitched in 12 days.

This is a lie and a myth that MLB wants you to believe. If all 162 matter there would be no one game playoff. The Cubs won the head to head, Cubs had a better division record, Cubs and Brewers ended with same record against NL and AL. If all 162 matter then Cubs hold two tie breaks and are tied in the other 2 categories. This means there is no 1 game playoff after 162 Cubs showed they were the better team.

 

[Shawker]

So are the Cardinals.

The Cardinals are light years better than the Tigers. The Tigers are a free win.

 

[Cyched]

Noon game tomorrow? Boo.

 

[chuckd4735]

Noon game tomorrow? Boo.

Brewers are 26-31 in days games, and the Cubs are 46-29. Yay!

Best site for live radio stream? Will likely be on my phone at work.
