IST: Cubs vs A's

[SilentLurker]

Well was looking forward to this game but looks like it s already over.

Tomorrow's a day game.

Being down 8-0 at home with our ace on the mound is absolutely pathetic.

Jon is no ace. Father time has taken that away. He is a decent #4 starter now.

Right now
Hamels: 2.84 ERA 1.18 WHIP (0.00/.80 post ASG)
Hendricks: 3.06 ERA 1.09 WHIP (1.72/.83 post ASG)
Lester 3.86 ERA 1.34 WHIP (4.38/1.46 post ASG)
Darvish 4.36 ERA 1.21 WHIP (2.17/0.79 post ASG)
Quintana 4.40 ERA 1.35 WHIP (5.40/1.38 post ASG)

Like I said he is older and has less stuff and has to be spot on with his command. Ad d to it post ASG he is the #4. I think that you can argue on which ace is the best out of Darvish, Hamels and Hendricks. All have a different approach to pitching. But I would feel good with any of them on a series.

So stop with the ace stuff. That is Joe showing respect.

Who do you think will start G1 of the playoffs?

 

[TL1961]

They've got a very tough 4 game road series coming up against the Reds. Cubs needed to win these home games.

STFU

 

[TL1961]

Looking at the bright side, as I always do....

It’s not likely the bullpen will lose this game for us.

Who do you think will start G1 of the playoffs?

Probably Scherzer vs Nola

Joe will push Lester on the first series. Which is fine. Burn him vs their best then put our best 3 vs their next 3. After that it really falls to pitching day for the next series.

I'm fine with using Lester vs their best in general. He wins great. But it sets you up for the series win.

But on a 1 day. Hamels. He is the staff ace.

 

[CSF77]

Well I hope that they decide to burn Underwood today.

Weird

8/6/19

Chicago Cubs activated RHP Pedro Strop from the 10-day injured list.

Was not expecting that.

Sometimes you just lose but it never ceases to amaze me how bottom feeder pitchers like Gonzalez and this chump tonight give the Cubs trouble. I mean they know Andersen....the guy has nothing but off speed shit yet they look for fastballs and are surprised by change ups.

 

[TL1961]

The first game of the playoffs will be the wildcard game.

**** that.

We play later.

 

[zack54attack]

Mets are red hot.

Lefties have been the thorn for the O. I still can't figure it out with Baez, Bryant,Nick all coming from the R.

I think that it was a who would Joe pitch game 1. I said Lester. And it would be fine because our ace wold face off vs their 2nd best. Most likely the Cubs would face the Braves. That is the team to look at in a match up.

 

[zack54attack]

Throw this game in the trash.

 

[SilenceS]

Mets are red hot.

They are beating bottom feeders. Its like when the Giants got hot. It will go down

Nice fallacy. This is an example of why you are the worst poster on CCS.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Call me crazy but I don't think the Cubs are winning this game

 

[zack54attack]

Nice inning by Underwood.

I think so too. But they will be interesting to watch. Let's see what Stroman has too.

 

[CSF77]

Underwood. Struck out every one. He must want to stay.
