He's going to be 32 all next season, and he's a Boras client. Pass.

They did it! The Cubs scored more than 3 runs in a postseason game!

It's almost like pitching a guy who looked absolutely gassed his last handful of regular season starts on short rest was a bad idea.

If Ben Brown is pitching, something has already gone wrong in the game. Or it's the 16th inning.

I guess Brown's copious ability to give up home runs doesn't concern Craig.

What's your problem with rostering someone with an ERA over 5?

Any time you can put a guy with a 5+ ERA on your playoff roster, you have to do it.

Congrats. You've set yourself up to be right no matter what. If Happ hits today, you win. If he doesn't, you can still claim small sample size.

So does batting a guy third with no record of success off a pitcher.

Happ is 1-for-his-career against Cease, but sure, bat him 3rd. Good lord.

Same predicament with the same two teams. Luckily, I work remotely.

They intentionally walked him in the eighth. Weak.
