nobody left to trade and limited budget Actually B.Rodriguez might be the heir apparent

hahaha now only worried about Suarez blowing up

you can't start this guy with Suarez departing in FA

GAS 2 ks per ip average in second half that's unfair on the corner

Eddie Vedder is actually a big Padres' fan

Kelly Happ Tucker the only Cubs hitters with postseason experience? Or Hoerner? don't think so it's pretty much equal if this goes to G3...Padres' been here/done that vs. home field advantage

Morejon a big time Preller intl signing who never made it as a starter but has definitely found his niche this year.

contract the umps

Extending Morejon through Tucker... that was quite fortunate Schildt avoiding Estrada lol

Because of the RHB you wanted for 1 1/2 games lol. Either him or Colt McCoy...who also can't hit much more than Amaya.

This is likely Estrada but actually like Morgan more... Or Rodriguez. But then Tucker is third, but still doesn't have his timing back after just 4 games.

Old school managers just don't trust rookies in these situations in the postseason.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/31258/jameson-taillon Might see a Martin Maldonado appearance tmrw at catcher vs. Taillon lol. Sheets 724 ops...for the record. Jose Iglesias as well...

Colson Montgomery got Thielbar for an early spring training homer. Low FB. That was the first breath of hope.

You definitely don't face Machado with Mike Soroka lol...

Machado kind of like the Judge of the NL. HoFer but Tatis is the one with the big postseason rep.

Fathom was questioning the superpen approach...we'll see if that de Vries trade was worth it today/tmrw. And Adam was their big 7th/8th inning off speed guy and he's a key key loss in that bullpen. Really liked him. Came over from Rays.

R.Suarez has 6 blown saves and I trust him not at all in these situations lol. No way paying him $20-25 million in FA.

Morejon at least has a long record in the minors as a starter so can go longer than most lefties.

At least the Dodgers are seemingly going to try something different with Scott/Treinen struggling mightily. Hinch got burned today too with Melton et al. Pulled Mize way too early when CLE wasn't hitting at all.

Finally!!! Machado was overdue. The problem is you went to the bullpen so so so early. B.Rodriguez is very similar to Henriquez of the Dodgers...will get baptism by fire in postseason but walks/control always an issue with young pitchers. Guys like Morejon and M.Miller have rarely pitcher three consecutive games...

That's fine if Machado can actually get a clutch hit.

He's Luis Robert lol...

Tatis likely to be running...desperately need another run.
