2020 Team

[mrfelina]

I guess we've got no choice but to hope Kimbrel has found something and won't shit the bed when the heat is on, cause with Wick down, we have no choice but to use him (probably had no choice even if Wick didn't go down with no off days for this thing.)

 

I don't know how I feel about Hendricks starting in game #1. Part of me hoped it would be Yu because I thought he was ready for the pressure of that game but the way Kyle has pitched, especially at Wrigley, it's hard to argue.

Especially when it's Ross making the call. 

 

As I was putting my daughter to bed tonight, we were talking about the possibilities of the series in the dark and how there's a decent chance we'll split the first two games and have Lester starting game #3. I told her I thought that if there's anyone's shoulders you want to carry that load it's Jon Lester's. And she said "Yeah, but he's old now." And I said "Yeah, but his shoulders are still his shoulders, right?" And she said "Yeah."

 

Let's go Cubs. This team has done better than I thought they were going to do and I can't help but be excited to see what they can do against Miami, even knowing how fucked this bullpen and this offense is. 

 

If Kyle doesn't have his stuff, I'm sure that energy will turn to misery pretty quick, but for now...it's energy.
