NLDS: Cubs vs Nationals
- Thread starter E5 Yaz
- Start date
Common sense says yes. What Dusty Baker will say is another matter
He always had power, just no patience at the plate. he is a great defensive CF, finally put it all together this season
And only got his chance to play regularly because prize off-season acquisition Adam Eaton tore his ACL in April.
Saw on twitter: Kendricks-Gio on the mound, Kendricks Gin in your glass.
Though Gio isn't confirmed for tomorrow.
ESPN has it as either Gio or Roark, with Scherzer in the pen. Wow two days of rest after going 98, there's no way, is there?
Either way, I'm sure the Nats are fucked, because each of the teams I've rooted for in the DS has been knocked out
No way Scherzer goes on two days of rest after having hammy issues. Pen availability? Yes, but not starting.
Also, remember when Stephen Strasburg was a terrible human being for not pitching due to having a runny nose?

Okay guys, the ultimate goal is the MFY not winning the World Series this year. Which team winning tonight makes that goal more likely?
The Nationals, if they can line up Scherzer and Strasburg to each pitch twice in the World Series. That said, it’s really the Dodgers, but if either the Nationals or Cubs are able to beat the Dodgers, they are certainly a worthy opponent.

I would think it has to be Gio. But FS1, in typically shitty form, announced it was Hendricks vs Scherzer during the ALDS game last night.
Does it really matter who starts? SP in general have not pitched more than a couple innings in the playoffs and it'll be all hands on deck.
That being said, I probably go Roark then Gio then bullpen matchups with Scherzer on alert. Try to force Maddon into over managing and reacting to the lefty/righty matchups.

Sure, it's all hands on deck, but starting pitching has been a real strength this series. The Washington starters have gone 7, 5, 6.1, and 7 in Games 1-4
It really was a waste. People are taking huge gambles with their ace starters in non-elim games. Astros got lucky with Verlander, Cubs may not be so lucky.
Slow hook by Professor Creativity.
Last year he pulled Hendricks too soon, this year, too late.
