Any chance we throw him Game 1 on Thursday? Its one day short of regular rest. Or do you throw Dakoda/Miles game one and let Flaherty have Game 2 and set up for Game 5 if needed on regular rest I think you go D. Hudson J. Flaherty M. Mikolas D. Hudson (short rest, Waino on the ready to take over at home) J. Flaherty This is exactly how I would set up the rotation. Flaherty & Hudson have been the 2 best starters in your rotation the entire 2nd half of the season, I want them each getting the ball twice this series. Plus Mikolas is a lot A LOT better at home than on the road, Dakota at least has respectable numbers away from Busch.

MOSteelers56 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 If Waino would have looked better in game 161, I'd have lobbied to get him a start. I think everyone is right about the hypothetical rotation. Waino needs to be ready to piggyback on Hudson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Mikolas confirmed for game one... Mark Saxon reporting John Gant will likely be held off NLDS roster due to his September struggles and workload... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The Cubs squander their playoff hopes and implode at the end of the season to miss out... The Brewers implode in the wildcard game in late innings... Feels good boys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather Hudson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLunatic88 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 So now that we know it will be Mikolas for G1, this is how I think the series plays out; A Very weird game, that we go back and forth, but Carlos blows in the 9th (because he isnt a real closer) L 4-5 Flaherty dominates in the middle of the afternoon with no one watching, continuing to silently showcase hes an Ace W 2-0 Hudson looks like a stud at home, we have a offensive surge that we arent used to, and take this one easily W 8-3 Mikolas isnt ready to go on short rest, Shildt pulls the plug too late, and even HomeWaino cant save this one L 7-4 Big Moment, prime time as the only Game 5, and Flaherty shows out again. Tossing 8 scoreless and we hang on with a nail biter in the 9th W 3-1 Yep we take it 3-2 in a very stressful series. Unfortunately, I think thats where this Redbird Bus turns back into a pumpkin, especially with the Dodgers getting some extra rest to rest their Rotation. We go down in a Gentleman's Sweep 4-1, with only JF getting a win at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is HUGE, and I almost called it exactly how game 1 would go. Thankfully this lead was just enough for our fake closer Edited October 4, 2019 by StLunatic88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
