Jose Quintana (11-11, 4.15 ERA) vs Clayton Kershaw (18-4, 2.31 ERA)
Really thought they would go with Lackey in game 1, since they are not, I hope they leave him off the roster.
Ken Gurnick ✔ @kengurnick
Corey Seager not on NLCS roster.
3m
Rondon in
Wilson out
Is that seager news real? Knew he had back problems buy that huge
I don't think they can. Quintana could need to be backed up today and you would assume Lester would need the same tomorrow and the bullpen needs all the help it can get.
Schwarber getting a start in lf vs Kershaw......wtf?
You remember the schwarber bomb to the top of the scoreboard was off a lefty right?
Lackey from the pen is worse than Lackey starting. If using a roster spot, this is the one place to pitch him. If he's your worst starting option of five, using him in the Kershaw start would hurt less if you lose. Pressure on LA to win the Kershaw start. Cubs would have "nothing to lose" attitude, and Q back in Game 2.
That said, I am not upset to see Q tonight. Still same pressure on LA, and if he throws a gem, stealing one is a real possibility. I have considered Q the X factor all along. (My new alphabet, by the way.)
or possibly a new equation.
Q = X

You realize Kershaw is not just "A lefty", right?
about a career 150 hitter vs lhp...
Vs the best in the game...
But let's recall the bomb he hit 3 years ago vs some meathead relief pitcher from stl
and you realize Kershaw in the playoffs has not been kershaw either.
Make him work both sides of the plate. I would not be surprised if Maddon put Schwarber in the two hole.
