How stupid is Cubbie nation to "want" Strop? Well Juiced, we don't have any great options. There isn't a single lock down guy in that pen right now. Even Davis has been shaky.

Obviously, I'd rather the all star closer on the roster close out the 9th inning. Since he is likely unavailable, someone has to do it. It's not like I'm choosing Strop over Chapman, Jansen or Miller. It's either him or Duensing. So take your pick.

Also, may I suggest contacting Jbills for some gif lessons.

It isn't hard to paint a scenario where they win.

Q gives you 7 strong innings. The offense puts up 7 or 8 runs and you piecemeal the 8th and 9th inning with R/L matchups and hope none of them allow a crooked number.

7-8 runs against Kershaw. That's less likely than Strop closing out the highest leverage inning of the night with no damage.

They dropped 5 on him in game 6 last year. Do that again early and you got a stew going mister.

Davis is your ONLY option to close out the game. You put in anyone else and Davis is still on the bench, then you deserve to lose.

However, Davis should be used when you need him and not just saved to close because that chance may not come. Maddon should have used Davis the other night when the game was tied and they needed to get out of the inning. Lackey had no business coming into that game. If Davis is burnt then you have an argument for Strop, (Wilson) If he was on the roster, someone suggested he should close and he isn't even on the NLCS roster

I was told earlier that the bullpen didn't need Andrew Miller. Is that still true?

So Juiced and I agree with each other. That's odd since he spent the last one calling me a fucking idiot that doesn't watch the games.

Here is another scenario that is just as likely as what you just posted.

Pigs will fly and carry one of Jason Heyward's lazy fly balls out of the park for a HR.

Hell will freeze over and cause the Dodgers bus to slip on the icy roads, killing everyone on board.

Dodgers call upon their AAA team and just miss a grand slam off Pedro Strop in the bottom of the ninth to lose the game.

You mean the guy the offensive juggernaut David Ross homered off of?

Frank, get ready buddy. I am coming over to the dark side! It will be like the Cubs in 2014 all over again!

Going to buy my Abreau jersey from the thrift shop tonight!

I never said "fucking" idiot to be fair. That is saved for Elmhurst Steve.

that actually DOES make me feel better.

GO CUBBIES!!!!! FUCK, BRING IN FUCKING STROP in the 9th!!!! THESE ARE THE CUBBIES BRO!!! WE COULD BRING IN ICEGIRL and get the save!

I'm sorry I said I wanted to go to the dark side. I feel dirty. Forgive me... for I have sinned against Cubbie blue!

You should call in to 3 different radio shows with that thought

I hope the Cubs lose so the Cubs fans can stop infighting.

We already have enough bullpen guys giving up runs, so yeah, we don’t need him .

I must have missed this discussion. How were we going to get Miller?

I just find these last few pages odd. After all, I was told yesterday that no one expected them to win and they wouldn't be hurt because at least they got this far.

What's odd about arguing who should close out the game?

Schwarber and Heyward better not be starting.

_________________

That holds for me...their bullpen is shit, they can't hit, they're losing to a better team because of it...I have zero expectations. If they happen to win again, bonus. They flip the switch and take it to a game 7? Yes, I'll be back invested.
