Im sure ill get ragged for this but my thinking for this offseason is i wouldnt be surprise if Baez Schwarber and Heyward are at least on the block to see what offered for them...

Not saying all 3 will be moved but at the very least Epstein will see what he can get for them..

Baez isn't going anywhere.

Why didn't Maddon go to Lackey in 6th like Roberts went to Maeda..
Might still be a 2-2 game

Not sure I understand this bullpen, or the moves Joe makes. Think I would have let Q try another inning, bringing in Rondon is a sure death sentence for the team, not sure why he is on the roster, not sure why Lackey is on the roster. Very confusing what goes on with this team in the post season. You let Rondon pitch to one guy to give up a home run, and then yank him?

And of course I can't even begin to understand the Schwaber thing.

I would have preferred Lackey start tonight rather than come in in relief.

And IF used in relief, start an inning. Don't bring him in with men on.

And we took our best 2nd baseman out because he just batted.......but didn't do that in LF.

Rondon struck out the next batter.

That’s a great play by Contreras. Unfortunately it is now illegal due to the stupid rule.

TERRIBLE rule.

TERRIBLE.

Got to give him a lane.....why didn't he run into the catcher? THEN you could argue it.

Panic???

Youre quoting a comment about my thoughts for 3 players in off season which is a couple weeks away..

As far as this series goes, i said where i stand on it..
Im not giving up on them but ill be even more shocked if they survive this series then i was against the Nats with the pen , bats, and noone stepping up in rotation

The rule now is, as a catcher, I must HELP you score.

I must put myself in a position where I can not tag you.

Fucking stupid.

Cubs scored 8 runs in 4 games against the Nats, and won two. Pitching was way better than you give credit for.

Just leave Lackey in long enough to face Puig.

Would actually be a solid idea. See if you can goad Puig into charging the mound after taking one in the ribs. He’d miss at least a couple games.
