Up to you Freddy.

No shot they throw Freddy

Freddy has had 4 days rest. He absolutely should go tomorrow.

On his regular 4 days rest? The alternative is a bullpen game the day after we had a bullpen game. Freddy needs to start.

Murphy probably makes 10 baseball decisions better than I would make before he ever even puts his pants on in the morning, but I was right about Priester needing a home start. He should have been pulled to let a LHP face PCA as well.

Yeah, idk if they were trying to replicate a Schlittler-esque start by hoping he’d dominate his hometown team, but you could tell immediately he didnt have it. Trying to not to look too much at hindsight, but starting an almost overly experienced guy in that environment like Quintana and hope he’d go 3-4 would have been better.

[Thunder Muscle]

Yeah they’re going with Freddy on normal rest. If he can get them 6 strong, you essentially have all the horses available for rest of game in Ashby, Megill, Uribe.

A good old fashioned shut out would be cool.

Seems insane to start ashby again. Might as well say we hope we hit alot of dingers or win saturday

[MickeyDavis]

The theory is you save Freddy for game 5 and if you win game 4 he's available Monday for game 1. Our bullpen has been amazing but at some point they won't be. I don't want to FAFO. Start Freddy.

[ReasonablySober]

Game one starters always start game four.

[ReginaldDwight]

8PM start time tomorrow if the Phillies hold on to this one.

[humanrefutation]

Considering Freddy's home and road splits, I'd be inclined to save him for Game 5 (if necessary).

The Priester thing was so hard to watch. The guy was absolutely **** bricks on the mound.

You have to use Freddy. The NLCS has 7 games in 9 days - more games and less rest than the NLDS. That means a regular starter can only pitch 2 games anyway, and Freddy would have 4 days of rest for games 2 and 6. He doesn't need to be saved for game 1. That's playing with fire. Besides, most of the pen could use a little rest tonight (baseball gods willing), but Freddy shouldn't need any.

No more cuteness. Play the guy who's rested and rest the guys who could use it! And ffs DH Chourio if it's Boyd. He almost got thrown out at second on that double. That's almost Hoskins-level slowness. He doesn't need to be covering that huge LF.

Please just end these bozos at Wrigley tonight in front of all the FIB's. My heart can't take even the thought of coming back to Milwaukee and possibly blowing this series after being up 2-0 in dominating fashion. Can't trust these guys until they finally put the nail in the coffin.

[MickeyDavis]

Unless Yelich has some back stuff going on we are unaware of he needs to be in LF tonight.

My exact thoughts. I didn’t expect to sweep so I don’t know why my anxiety level has gone up by the hour with the thought of this thing going 5 and them having the momentum. I think it almost worse that ended up with some gold opportunities last night to win when it looked pretty bleak after inning 1. The dlip is the Cubs were lucky to get out of that one last night with a win and barring a gem by Boyd, their pen should be a little taxes whereas we have are prime options on 3 days rest. Its a matter of scoring runs.
