I think we can agree that we don’t want Archer on the mound in a Wildcard game.

He gives up a ton of homeruns, he is a headcase on the mound and has terrible body language every time something bad happens, and he throws a ton of pitches and can’t get out of the 4th or 5th inning. I know the Pirates right now don’t have many other better options but I’m just tired of him and I’ve seen enough.
I don't disagree with you on any of that. But he is so tantalizing to watch. He has incredible stuff. He has gotten some really bad swings from these Cubs hitters. Of course, then he'll throw an absolute meatball. He's got the stuff to be great.

E5 gives Cubs another AB. E5 turns into a 2 run HR.

Archer is essentially the equivalent of a #5 pitcher. You hope to get 5 innings out of him without having him blow the game by then.

giving up homers about every 4 innings doesn't help.

And Hurdle failing to PR for Cabrera at 2B with 2 outs in the 8th.

An absolutely disastrous 8th inning there as the Pirates get 3 hits out of the 4 guys that came up and don’t score a run that’s pretty hard to do. You just cannot get picked off there if your Marte with Bell up and nobody out down a run. Very frustrating sequence of events that entire inning. This is gonna be a frustrating loss to deal with if the Pirates fail to come back and win this game.

Yep. Should be tied in the 9th.
