I think if you'd said the season would be on Caratini's bat, that's the outcome we all would have wanted...

Is Chatwood available to pinch hit?

Caratini is coming off the bench to hit. He's the last Cubs position player.

Hendricks probably pitches if this game goes to the 12th. We might be looking at Montgomery in game 1 of the LDS if they don't win here but somehow still advance.

I can't believe we're out of position players even with the deeper bench.

Former Cub Chris Rusin pitching. Come on, we can beat this guy.

I might consider de la Rosa here.  He's been more than decent.

Groundout, going to the 12th.

Caratini grounds to first, and we're going to the 12th.

Is Caratini staying in to catch?

Justin Wilson apparently coming in. This isn't great. What's left of Carlos Gonzalez is due first, then Butera and McMahon. So it's not a great part of the lineup for the Rockies if Wilson can just throw strikes.

Contreras is staying in, so I guess he'll catch the rest of the game.  Baez is the after-Schwarber-emergency catcher, isn't he?

Hendricks warming if it gets to LeMahieu/Arenado/Story.

Or maybe Hendricks was warming for everyone after Gonzalez. Here he comes after Wilson gets a weak grounder.

I agree, and have been waiting for the broadcasters to mention that.  The fielder has no more right to put his hand on the runner than the runner has to put it on the fielder.  He obviously had no intention, or even thought of throwing to first or second base.

Montgomery would actually be on short rest if the Cubs are still playing Thursday...so maybe Alec Mills goes in game 1 if they get there? Or a bullpen game?
