Jeremiah Estrada Coachella Valley Jeremiah Estrada is joining the San Diego Padres. Estrada was removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster on Friday, sending him to the waivers. The Padres claimed Estrada on Monday. Let's hope this comes back to bite the Cubs tmrw after he didn't pitch well in G1...

Yu Darvish is 5-7 with an ERA of 3.77 and 61 strikeouts in 13 appearances in the postseason in his career Padres also will have King and Vasquez in the bullpen. Morgan and B.Rodriguez both have big arms as well. J.Estrada obviously moves up on the priority list. 33 pitches Morejon/27 MMiller https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?request=1&match=versus_playervteam&player_id1=king--000mik&team_id1=CHC McGuire/Turner the main Cubs’ hitters with success against M.King not starting him doesn't exactly help make the Padres' case for retaining him as a FA though...maybe they already have a sense he's gone

Fathom has lost it lol... Despite saying they want to use Miller as a starter, tmrw is not the day to start that experiment. Not having thrown as many pitches today and also gone yesterday... Romy Gonzalez appearance

Padres starting Darvish over King Schittler tmrw if Yanks make it to G3

mlb getting their money's worth except Dodgers Reds Z.Littell Yamamoto not favorable

Cubs can rest core of their pen...another big advantage although they did use Kittredge as opener to nullify Tatis/Machado

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.
