If you're a Cub fan, or a Cyclones fan, you rarely get to have nice things. If you're a Cub fan AND a Cyclones fan, you're doomed for life it seems. At least we had 2016, that was fun. Get well soon Cade Horton and see you in spring training.
Seiya and PCA are coming on at the right time. As long as our pitching can hold we will be fine.
He's been really good last two outings, and really all year. He deserves it.
Definitely deserves to pitch. With Cade going down, I think he is for sure going Game 3.
Stinks because the Brewers have really fallen off of late too. A month ago I thought there was almost no way they wouldn’t get to 100 wins. We had a much better chance of winning the division than I ever thought. But yeah - no pitching now, so it doesn’t really matter.
For TV purposes and playing at night:
--Want the Reds to get that last slot
--Want the Yankees to win the AL East
If that happens, I think we get (assuming the TV Windows are the same as last year):
1:30--Guardians/Tigers
3:30--Reds/Dodgers
5:30--Red Sox/Blue Jays
8:00--Padres/Cubs

Are these Eastern times you are suggesting? An 8 central start is really late at Wrigley. Hard to see that happening.
They're central.
The Cubs hosted two playoff games with a first pitch at 8:40 in 2018 so there is precedent for it.
Wouldn't mind:
G1-Padres/Cubs
G2-Guardians/Tigers
G3-Sox/Jays
G4-Reds/Dodgers
Love me some afternoon delight at Wrigley.
I'd like the late afternoon slot like we had against the Cardinals back in what 2015?
They only had 1 playoff game in 2018 and that was the 1 game tiebreaker against Colorado that started at 7pm central.
