The Yankees vs. a team with Carlos Gomez on it.
I find myself on the horns of a dilemma.

In our fantasy baseball league I begrudging drafted Dallas Kuechel for $5. I didn't really want him, but I needed to fill a rotation spot with a cheap arm who wouldn't kill me. Guess that worked out OK

Last year I did the same thing with Corey Kluber. Got him for $6

Barring a trade, I'll start next season with a rotation that includes those 2 guys for $18 total which is less than someone paid this year for Janey Cueto.

Cubs need two batters to get the only run they need.

Im not buy this idea that there will be no runs.
 

That was a bomb.

He ain't gonna give up three.

I agree.  Only hope is to get to the bullpen.

Arietts is going to Bumgarner his way through the postseason

 

So can the cubs push him to pitch game 2 and 5 or is he limited to one start vs the cards?

Game 2 is Saturday. He won't pitch on two days rest. He'll only be able to pitch Game 3. Unless there's a lot of bad weather.

Looks like the cubs are playing victim again.  They hit holliday in the head and rizzo gets nicked and the cubs are the victim.   Arrieta hits two guys up and in and then get dinged in the ass and the cubs are he victim.

I'd agree with you except Harrison got hit with a slider. The Pirates' track record since Hurdle got there is they tend to overreact when one of their guys gets hit.

You miss 2x up and in I think you have to know something is coming.  Sort of like if you hit someone in the head.  None the less, arrieta should have just went to first.  All he does by clearing the benches is guve the pirates fuel.  I doubt it matters but the game is well in hand.  Dont rock the boat.

Arietta has become such a cocky prick I don't think he cares.

After the benches emptied, TBS went to a crowd shot at that bar in Chicago. Did anyone else see the kid to the right of the screen with his double middle finger salute toward the TV monitor over the bar?
I'll never figure out what goes through someone's head when they direct obscene gestures toward inanimate objects.

Being a cub fan is inanimate so i think he gets a pass.
