Counsell could become available, there's your scenarioI see no scenario in which the Cubs replace Ross this offseason.
I not saying that its a particularly likely scenario, simply that the scenario exists.The Mets just hired former Brewers GM David Stears; there's a lot of speculation that Stearns will hire Counsell to replace Showalter.
Not sure I agree with sending the Stro Show back out based on his past couple of starts...Revised WC odds for the last two spots after Wednesday's games:
D-Backs 84-74 97.8% -- Jarvis (Duke grad; son of WF pitcher Kevin Jarvis 2-0 2.45) v. Toussaint (4-7 5.10)
Marlins 82-76 68.9% -- Luzardo (10-9 3.73) v. Peterson (3-8 5.37)
Cubs 82-76 29.5% -- Stroman (10-8 3.88) v. Smith-Shawver (1-0 4.57)
Reds 81-78 3.8% -- Off day
Bullpen games for both the D-Backs and Braves. Jarvis hasn't pitched more than 2 innings in a game since August 19. Smith-Shawver was injured and has pitched a total of 5.2 innings in his three minor league appearances since coming off the IL. Will likely come down the bullpens again for Cubs and Braves. Yikes.
David Peterson is awful, but Luzardo has been up and down recently. If the Cubs lose and Marlins win, the Cubs would be close to done as the Marlins would be up 1 with three to play and hold the tiebreaker.
