    Agreed. I get the concept behind the opener but I would rather have Ashby available for tight spots later in the game.

    Honest question — if we lose tonight, where is everyone going to be on the spectrum of “we still got this” on one side to “we’re screwed” on the opposite side?

    It would have been really nice to have Hoskins up in the 9th yesterday. We could have PH for both Mona and Perkins. Probably nothing would have came out of it, but it would have been a better chance than we had with Blake. I really don’t get Lockridge over Hoskins. There’s already six guys on the roster without Lockridge who can play the OF. I get that the baserunning is nice to have but a possible late inning pinch runner role is not reason enough to carry a guy on a playoff roster.

    I look at it this way. To keep this from going 5, you need to win in a hostile environment, in a playoff game. That is going to be tough for most pitchers, and some, very tough. I would rather trust our staff ace and 8 year veteran who has been in all these situations before, for that task, than a random collection of mostly young relievers. And if we have to go to those guys, I’d rather do it at home where they can be more comfortable. Miz, for example, was effective at home, though it was dicey at first. Does anyone really have any faith that Miz, if called upon for a couple innings tonight at Wrigley, isn’t going to completely lose it?

    Peralta for his career does fine on extra rest, even better than normal rest, so he’s not a pitcher that absolutely needs to be on normal rest. He, like most pitchers, is better at home than on the road, but not by a huge margin. I think an argument can be made either way. My inclination would be to pitch Peralta today and go with your best lineup that gives you the best opportunity to score runs. My main train of thought is to do whatever we need to do to win this game. If you think that’s Peralta, then use him. If not, then go with a bullpen game. But the main driver should be whatever gives us the best chance to win today. Not “what are we going to do for Game 5 if we don’t win today?” Forget about game 5. Win today.

    Or Bauers. If it’s Boyd tomorrow, there’s no need to get Bauers in the lineup.

    The deferred money deal they were able to pull off with Ohtani basically wrecked baseball.
  8. adambr2
    That’s what I want to see. Go for the throat. Get them panicked. Execute. Finish this.
  9. adambr2
    It’s tough to sweep, even for the Dodgers.
  10. adambr2
    Will always be the case though. They’re the Dodgers. Well run plus money. Sucks. Plenty of teams out there with money that don’t know how to run an organization, but the Dodgers are not among them.
  11. adambr2
    I would actually feel much better about facing Boyd again than Civale+Soroka.
  12. adambr2
    I actually didn’t see his double. That’s too bad if he’s that limited. You’re playing with fire with him even in the corners, then.
  13. adambr2
    I can’t really buy that Chourio can’t play CF. I know it’s a different animal than LF, but you still have to run. He had to run on his 8th inning double. If they had no other options, he could not play CF in a playoff game? I just can’t believe that.
  14. adambr2
    If it weren’t for the Brewer factor, I would still be feeling pretty decent. I didn’t get this jaded overnight. It took years of scars.
  15. adambr2
    Phillies look like they might take one today. You could argue there’s a pretty good amount of pressure on the Dodgers for Game 4 if they don’t win tonight, knowing they have to go back to Philly for Game 5 if they lose tomorrow.
  16. adambr2
    Bauers turned out to be the right lever to pull, but yeah, other than that, it was more of a lineup you expected on a random Sunday in July than a chance to win the NLDS game.
  17. adambr2
    Just want to add, perspective is a crazy thing. If Miz had blown Game 2… if Chourio’s fly ball to CF comes up just short and we lost Game 2, but tonight we got the huge hit in the 8th and won 5-4… We’d be feeling great right now. With the same series lead.
  18. adambr2
    I want to jump out to a 3-4 run lead tomorrow. Get them tight, get them to press , to chase. They’re still the only ones playing an elimination game tomorrow, so the pressure is still on. The Blue Jays jumped out to a dominant 2-0 start against the Jays, opened things up for the Yankees by blowing Game 3 and are cruising tonight. Hopefully we will follow a similar blueprint.
  19. adambr2
    Speculation is Boyd starting Game 4. Not sure if that will be the case but you definitely wouldn’t want Bauers starting.
  20. adambr2
    I'm at peace if we lose the NLCS to the Dodgers, although I’m sure I will be massively disappointed and bemoaning the inequalities of MLB’s structure. Just at least end the Cubs’ season, win a playoff series. That would be progress.
  21. adambr2
    Lockridge wasn’t the singular reason. I just want to see Murphy go with his best damn lineup tomorrow and if we lose with that and Peralta, so be it, but at least it was our best damn shot.
  22. adambr2
    I’m not quite there yet, but I’ll be there if we don’t win tomorrow. I’ve been kicked in the nuts by the Brewers and Packers too many times in the postseason to be oozing with confidence.
  23. adambr2
    I feel like it was pretty self-explanatory.
  24. adambr2
    Definitely nervous for the what-ifs about tomorrow .. because if you don’t win, there’s no staff anchor to turn to for game 5. You’re just trying to win a bullpen game any way you can.
  25. adambr2
    This is still just pure speculation. Lots of players have kids during the season and lots of players go through slumps.
