Thor was good, but our Bum was better!
As for rotation, roster, and TV schedule for the NLDS, here's what I know so far: The Boys had a Happy Flight to Chicago this morning, but were unable to practice due to rain. Cueto says his groin injury is 100% better, and he's ready to go tomorrow night. He was able to get a little practice in. Bochy will not announce the game 2 and 3 starters, but they're widely believed to be Jeff Samardzija and MadBum respectively. The roster must be submitted by 10am tomorrow morning, and it is not known if Nùñez will be on it. It has been decided that he is not going to play tomorrow night, whether on or off the roster. The TV schedule for the Giants vs. Cubs, best of 5 game NLDS series is as follows:
Game 1: Giants at Cubs, 6:15 p.m. PST on Friday on FS1. Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79 ERA) vs. Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA).
Game 2: Giants at Cubs, 5:08 p.m. PST on Saturday on MLB Network. TBA vs. Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13 ERA).
Game 3: Cubs at Giants, time TBA on Monday on FS1 or MLB Network. Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10 ERA) vs. TBA.
Game 4 (if necessary): Cubs at Giants, time TBA on Tuesday on FS1. John Lackey (11-8, 3.35 ERA) vs. TBA.
Game 5 (if necessary): Giants at Cubs, time TBA on Thursday, on FS1.
Only 22 hours and 15 minutes until game 1, I can't wait! Are you still reeling from last night's WILD game?! Let's Go Giants!
Special note: to all fans, and all people, who have been or may be in the path of the hurricane, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay safe out there!
