Very poor effort by our backup players
esp. Ward.

I'm so conflicted about who I want to make the playoffs.
On one hand, I loathe the Mets, a lot. On the other, I really enjoy the little brother complex the Brewers have, and enjoy beating up on them. I’m just afraid of the Phillies, that’s all I know.

But...
In Game 2, 3 runs, 0 BB, 4 K. Not bad.
In Game 5 of the NLCS, 2 runs. 4 walks were bad, I agree. But with the way Beckett was pitching, the Cubs didn’t stand a chance anyways.
I’ll take my chances with him pitching. Yes, his best start was last year’s, but his postseason starts, outside of Game 1 of the 2003 NLCS, haven’t been awful. Not exactly what you’d want, but not awful.

Thinking Back...
Bringing in Alpo to face Lenny Harris would have probably resulted in the same thing – a hit to give the Marlins the win. That’s not to say Guthrie didn’t suck; both did, so IMO the Cubs were doomed once the Marlins went ahead early in Game 1.

Fine?
4 starts. Cubs lost 4 of them. ERA 4.37. So not horrible, but not outstanding either, and at least in this small sample size, not as good as his regular season stats.

Not as good.
But the Cubs are also averaging 2.84 runs in this small sample size, and had the offense performed better, a couple of those could have been wins.

Yeah, a WHIP of 1.5 isn't good.
And while I’d expect more of him, he’s been fine in the playoffs. Per the run support, he’s kept the team in the game, which is part of what you ask from your starter.

I'm missed some games because of work/moving
so I might be wrong but how much of the struggles by like shark the last few games do you think could be the call behind the plate? I just wonder if Soto being out there would make a difference, and it’s not just because I adore geo…

It's a valid point.
Certain pitchers work better with certain catchers. And Geo’s pattern of calling pitches, if he has one, could vary from those of Blanco and Hill.
