What were Edwards' numbers facing teams for the second time in a series? Anecdotally, it felt like he struggled the second time around.

Not sure how to find that. Playing around on FG I noticed that his high leverage struggles was in day games and the 2nd half of the season.

Dude pitched in the clinching inning of the fucking world series. He is fine. His mechanics were off last year.

You’re an idiot.

I'm curious why you say that ... in regards to his post anyway. I can see one way you might take exception with his posit but it's not at all devoid of truth.

Where are you getting that from? I only see 11 innings on Fangraphs and 53 batters faced.

This Cubs team is good enough to win a ton of games in the regular season but they will have issues in the playoffs because they still don't have a #1 starter. They have 2 solid #2's and 2 borderline #2's and a #4.



Hendricks pitched as well as anyone in the playoffs the last two years.
Lester showed last year he was still able to perform in the playoffs as well.
Quintana had 2 good appearances in the playoffs and 1 really shitty one. I'll take him as a 3...basically could be your 4 all year though.
We'll be fine.

Cubs have the best "Fab 4" rotation now since Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz/Avery.

Luckily, going forward Lester is owed only 4/85 million(very affordable and manageable)

It won't be. He has to throw 200 in the last year or 400 in two years. Not gonna happen.

If he didn't throw another pitch he's earned his contract

I am glad you guys are happy with the signing. From what I can tell really though is you replaced Jake with something like Jake.

Do you think he is markedly better than Jake? I wouldn't say so. Plus in my opinion he is more likely than Jake to see the DL.

Well if you lose a real good pitcher, best to find another good one to replace him.

Of course. It just seemed a little odd to me that some on the radio were overly excited. I simply viewed it as a one for one. Not shitting on it just an opinion.

Ace replaced with an ace. Not terrible.

They were unlucky to only win 1. They probably should have had 2 or 3 total.

Good or bad?

I think he certainly helps the team in terms of winning their division. But his performance last season in the World Series was about as bad as bad gets. Will he perform well in the big moments, like Jake did over and over? I have some doubt about that.

That is something that will be easy to acquire at the deadline, if it proves to be needed. Teams out of the playoff hunt have greater need for a decent prospect than a closer for a team going nowhere. Maddon has lots of new arms to choose from, it will be interesting to see how the bullpen shakes out.

Since Jake had about as good a run as any Cub in recent history not named Ferguson Jenkins, I would say that is an optimistic slant.
