Put an end to the EYBS please. At least we don't have to worry about Cardinals Devil Magic.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I fear the Cubs so I'm hoping for EYM.

Here's a philosophical question:

Let's say Game One, you know your team will be facing Bumgarner in the playoffs, or any dominant pitcher, esp. a playoff dominant pitcher.

Do you pitch your ace, or your No. 5 guy, and save your ace for Game 2?

Hell no

You want your Ace getting in as many games as possible. You NEVER delay your Ace.

If you rig your rotation in this fashion, you are telling your locker room that you don't have faith in their ability to win.

Are they trying to put the stink of 2003 on this team?

Can't believe Almora Jr. got a spot on the roster over Szczur.
