Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1511579, member: 569"] I don't think it was a blunder to have Familia pitch the 8th and 9th. I think it was always the plan. The Dodgers got absolutely nothing on him in that series. I understand the point though as Syndergaard was impressive and it would have been nice to have a pinch hitter in the top of the 9th. The way Collins handled the staff in the series he was basically saying if you beat us you are going to have to do it against our best pitchers. I also wonder about the middle relief in a 7 game series. How short can the rotation be, and if they win the Cubs series but it goes 6 - 7 how does that effect the WS. [/QUOTE]
