Re: Luke Weaver
The Cardinals have been a tough team for me to figure out this year. Lots of offensive talent; rookies like Pham and DeJong have been big. 1-5 their rotation is not bad at all, although Martinez probably not a legit #1. Defense hurts them, but hard to believe with the Pirates having such a bad year that the Cardinals may not outfinish the Brewers.

Re: Luke Weaver
It will be real interesting to see how teams handle him the second time they see him. He's been dominant, but that second go around will be a good test.
As for today, this is the 5th time this season St. Louis will have seen Lester.

Re: Luke Weaver
Agreed. I bet them last night at minus 119. But at nearly minus 140 at several places, it's too late to bet St. Louis now.

Re: Luke Weaver
good call heim. Never in doubt, those are the kind of wins I like.
This thread jinxed the kid. Kid was on a roll of not giving up more than 2 runs in a start and gives up 4 first inning.
Can't wait to get that 10 units of Cubs money on Sunday. Was a little bit of a sweat but looking like it's in now.

Re: Luke Weaver
It will be a good series. And unlike last year, when the Dodgers were scared shitless to run on the Cubs starters, old school Dusty won't. Dusty sure isn't the best manager, but he understands if the pitcher is going to give you a stolen base, you take it. Not that I'm complaining. Apparently Friedman doesn't believe in the stolen base. I'm sure that's not Roberts' doing. But it was funny seeing those Dodgers taking giant leads but leaning back toward first. Trea Turner may be the most important player for the Nats in the series.

Re: Luke Weaver
No question Lester has to be in form.
The Miguel Montero 7 stolen base game earlier in the year was against the Nats. Contreras does have a much better arm, no doubt, but most bases are stolen off the pitcher, not the catcher. Lester's issues throwing to first are well documented, and while Arrieta has no problem throwing to any base, he does have a long delivery to make him susceptible to a good base stealer like Turner. The good news for the Cubs is I doubt we will see Harper running.

Re: Luke Weaver
Running on Hendricks/Contreras isn't easy (not looking up the numbers, but with Hendricks he has a great pick off move and is smarter than the runner.
For the Nationals, I'd go Arrieta, Lester, Hendricks, Quintana, Arrieta
I will not be happy if Lester is thrown out there for game 1 with his current form. And I do not want Lester/Quintana back to back...

Re: Luke Weaver
The pitching rotation is getting all the attention, but what outfield will Maddon go with? He probably will platoon, to some extent. I doubt Schwarber will be in against Gio. I think Almora needs to be in the lineup. He can run down anything in CF.

Re: Luke Weaver
I think you've gotta start La Stella in game 1 somehow. I'm not sure how, because Maddon loves Baez in the playoffs. But La Stella can catch up to hard throwing righties and is 3-6 with a HR, a triple, and a double vs Scherzer and Baez is 0-5 with 3 K's. But it's also conceivable Maddon might not even consider starting La Stella at 3rd in the playoffs. He's not great defensively.

Re: Luke Weaver
I think you need the best defensive team out there for a post season game. That would mean Baez has to play, and Schwarber would be on the bench.
