Cubbies. Sherzer/Strasberg/Gio scares me, but you guys are pitching lights out lately aside from that Carl Edwards blip. Either team is gonna be tough.
Who would you rather face Cubs or Nats?

D'Backs were the bigger challenge imo, both mentally and physically when you consider how they'd beaten up the Doyers the past month and a half and with how much momentum they had coming into the series. They'll have the added motivation from last year's loss to the Cubs to push them if they see them this year, and the Nats are the only team to choke harder than LA the past five years in the MLB.
Agreed. D-Backs scared me more than any other NL team. Dodgers couldn't figure out Ray in the regular season and got hammered by the deep lineup all September. I'm a bit more comfortable facing the Cubs since I don't want to see Scherzer go Bumgarner. Cubs have proven to have the clutch gene now, though, especially Rizzo. Love his approach and he loathes striking out.
At the time I was on board with it. Obviously it didn't work out. In retrospect it doesn't make much sense to carry six starters on your roster for a best-of-five series and then start one of them on three days' rest. A lot of o's roster decisions are going to be second-guessed if the Indians lose this thing.
Your yearly Red Sox choke, errone.
I knew these gots would pull one of their classic no shows.
Kimbrel wild pitch was killer.
Game postponed. Huge break for the Nats, tbh.
Just heard that Nats intend on sticking with Tanner Roark instead of going with Strasburg with regular rest. I'm sure he'll be on a very short leash but it still seems like a risky move when you are facing elimination.
Strasburg is sick tbh, otherwise he'd be the starter.
lol getting picked of by Lester
Michael A. Taylor with the grand slam!
Cubs
GG. On to game 5 now. The professor should take care of business on the road. I do wonder if they'll bring out Strikezer out of the pen on short rest.
Aaron Judge just set the record for most strikeouts in a playoff series.
That's two home runs now for Gregorious!
Man, I gave the Indians the injury excuse for the World Series last year, but now it's pretty clear that they're just massive chokers.
Kluber taken out already... the biggest choker on a team full of chokers.
Sabathia suddenly looking old and tired.
Nevermind, Cleveland cracked the Yankees.
This strike zone the Yankees are getting is such a joke, it's reminiscent of the '90s Braves.
Indians
That cute regular-season team
Welp, Gardner clutched the up per par. I really hope we don't end up with a NY/LA WS.
