BlackSox13 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I get that cubs fans want to shake things up but that's swinging the pendulum too far the other way. For tonight's game against Dervish I would shoot for something like Heyward RF, Jay CF , Happ LF, Rizzo 1B, Zobrist 2B, Russell SS and Bryant 3B. Too me, that shakes things up just enough without going to crazy. That said, Joe Maddon is gonna Joe Maddon so I expect to see the usual suspects tonight. Which is a good thing.

Yeah that's about as left-handed as I think it will get. Darvish has bad splits against lefties. Maybe Schwarber in LF and Happ at 2B.

OmarComing25 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Darvish has been utterly dominant in his last 4 starts (0.74 ERA, 0.49 WHIP, 28/1 K/BB ratio), I'm feeling pretty good about him tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Baez out, Zobrist in at 2B. Schwarber bats #2 so I'd guess he's in LF. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2105539...angeles-dodgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The way Hendricks pitched in his last outing against the Nat's, cubs fans should be worried about that Dodger lineup with the wind blowing out.
