Cubs currently in their "42 games in 43 days" or whatever the count is.

Rockies playing their 3rd game in 3 days in 3 different cities in 3 different time zones.

First to 1 wins.

Cubs are leaving Edwards Jr. off the postseason roster, Strop in.

Are the lineups out yet? Pretty sure we're gonna see Bote at 3rd, Bryant in LF.

That's surprising about Edwards. Bryant in LF, I'm guessing?

I haven't seen them listed yet, just probable lineups.

Re: 2018 National League Wild Card- Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies

Yeah Edwards was topping out at 92-93. His velocity has dropped so it's the right call. He has to be injured somehow because he wasn't missing any bats. with the injuries this really stinks at least Strop is good to go. when healthy this bullpen was right there with the Brewers. Edwards/Cishek/Strop/Morrow was so good early in the season.

I would probably roll out the all defense lineup tonight mainly because Almora and Bote are good vs LHP the only question is if Murphy is in the lineup.

Re: 2018 National League Wild Card- Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies

Pretty obvious that CJ has been hurt. The diminished velocity has been mentioned, but just look at the difference between his 1st half and 2nd half numbers. All anyone really needs to know. Apparently he's got forearm pain. I'm a little surprised such a small guy like Edwards has been as durable as he has been. Hopefully, the Cubs are getting Strop at like 95%+ and not just a familiar-looking guy wearing a Strop jersey who is injured and has no business being in a game.

While I would like to see Colorado knock out the Cubs I think the Cubs will win this one.

Almora CF, Zobrist in RF (and leading off). Heyward on the bench.
