October 8, 20178 yr Author Cubs bullpen is good, but not great. That's why they traded for Chapman last year when they had to win it all. They are playing with house money now. Davis has been lock down but doesn't seem like a two inning guy.

October 8, 20178 yr I didn't get the memo this year. Are Sox fans still obligated to root for the Cubs?
October 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Oct 8, 2017 -> 08:39 AM) I didn't get the memo this year. Are Sox fans still obligated to root for the Cubs? No, but there is a moral obligation to cheer for any team playing the cubs.

October 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2017 -> 08:14 PM) Atrocious managing by Maddon That game was a perfect example of why having a rigid role for your closer is dumb. Davis should have faced Harper and the middle of that order in the 8th, not Edwards. He should have started the inning. Your best pitcher should face their best hitters.

October 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (gosoxtim8 @ Oct 8, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) i think it matter they dont know if davis can go 2 inning like chapman did last year This is a good point. The same thing happened with AZ vs Colorado in the WC game. AZ almost left Bradley in too long during the 8th inning because Rodney is a 9th inning 3 out closer.

Or they need a lefty whose only job is to face Harper in that situation. Not sure if Duensing could be that guy
