The postseason starts with game 163.

Quintana vs. Chacin, with both managers having itchy trigger fingers for the quick hook.

Let's party.

If Q gets 2 guys on base, tight-arsehole-Joe will pull him after .2 innings.

They have a bullpen. We don't.

That trade for Wilson was regrettable. So was Joe's decision to use him there.

Not only that, we've merely got that PIECE OF SHIT JON LESTER standing between us and an early postseason, amirite
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Agree with you on the trade, but it's not like any of these guys can be trusted at this point.

50/50 Joe retires, regardless if it ends tomorrow in Wrigley or in 3 weeks in Grant Park.

Agree with you on the trade, but it's not like any of these guys can be trusted at this point.

September:
Jesse Chavez: 1.15 ERA over 15.2 IP.
Jorge De La Rosa: 1.64 ERA over 11 IP
Steve Cishek: 4.15 ERA over 8.2 IP, though he went 9 straight appearances leading into G163 without giving up a run.

Chicago bullpen in September: 10th in MLB in ERA at 3.98.
Chicago bullpen in 2018: 2nd in MLB in ERA at 3.35.

Can we fucking stop with "bullpen concerns"? "Bullpen concerns" is just you telling me that you're a whiny bitch.

The only bullpen concern you should have is that the Milwaukee bullpen has been nuts since 9/1. That, and the Colorado bullpen has been great since 9/1.
