Playoff pitching plan...

[ElTexan]

since our middle relief sucks bison baton...

Artists should secure the one game play-in vs. the Pirates.
Then, Arrieta should become our every-game middle reliever against the Cards. Use his arm up and hope he holds out. #theangertalking

Definitely a stinging loss- that makes at least 3 to the Cards we should have won.

Arrieta play in game, LEster game 1, Hendricks 4 innings game 2, Hammel follows with 3 or 4 in game 2, Arrieta game 3, lester game 4,

Its Jake game 1, Lester and Hendricks were kept on the WC roster to back up Jake if he cannot make the start.

Still have 10 pitchers though, Wood and Richard the lefties, Cahill, Rodney, Grimm, Strop, Rondon the usuals.

Love to see the cubs jump on cole big, take Jake out after 5 innings, get him available for game 3 and possible 7.
