Me until this game is handled tomorrow:

 

The gods gift us a postponement and we aren’t rolling with Stras? WTAF? Deserve to lose.

 

I know it’s Dusty but I refuse to believe Roark is actually starting tomorrow.

 

it doesnt sound like he has a choice. Strasburg "cant go"

 

Looks like this is all on Stras, disappointed — will always prefer Max.

 

Conflicted about the Farrell decision but if it's true that he lost the clubhouse I guess they didn't have much choice

 

More chicken and beer?

 

Bring back Bobby Valentine

 

I bet they're gonna steal Alex Cora

 

I would assume Mickey Callaway gets at least some consideration. I'm sure there are plenty of qualified people, but I would think Mickey will be on some team's list this offseason.

 

So stras is pitching after all? Wtf is going on?

 

I knew it

 

it’s the whole “we are going to bluff you with not pitching our best pitcher but we clearly need to so hopefully you are fooled strategy”

 

You shut your mouth

 

Hey, go tell Buster to keep quiet. He tweeted during the summer about teams likely to be interested. I don't want Mickey to leave either.

 

If Stras is still feeling sick, might be in for a bad time

But I predict a no hitter with the Cubs winning on a walk, stolen base, passed ball, then a sac fly.

 

I am a VERY nervous Indians fan right now...

 

good luck to both teams tonight and see ya on Friday

 

Same here. I’m worried that Kluber will look really good but that he won’t get any run support.

 

Dang, knew it

 

I'm a bit concerned Kluber may be battling an injury or soreness. Tito made a comment yesterday that his mechanics were off in Game 2 because of his back. I also noticed his velocity was in the high 80s and barely getting over 90 during Game 2. Something was definitely off.

 

I don’t like the sound of this

 

Encarnacion starting DH tonight

 

I hope this isn't Arrieta's last start as a Cub
