It’s out of hand

Just as I finished typing. Ah well, it is going to be an early night to bed at least.

I want no part of Rea starting a game in the postseason. Too many homers and hard hit balls. Too few Ks. He's been getting by on smoke and mirrors.

[Brian]

He will be the next guy on the injured list.

[kevinisaname]

OK, now I'll turn it off. Been a while since we really got our butts kicked.

Cubs ahead 2-0 in the first……..still batting 

 

Down to 7.5.     It will be interesting if it gets to 3-4 games back with around 8 games to go.   Hopefully the Rockies nationals and a’s take 3-4 games from them.

Rea trying to regress all the way to his peripherals in one night

I am not sure how you piece together 9 innings every game in the playoffs; they are going to have to get creative. 

You need to have a quick hook. I don't think you want Montas going more than 4 innings, it's that 3rd time through that gets him. 

I will say I trust DL Hall and Aaron Ashby to get 9 outs or so more than anyone currently in our rotation.

Wouldn't give them the win, yet. It's 2-1 now after Ohtani just hit #47.

[Brian]

2-1 Cubs now.

[adambr2]

Good grief, Colin. Thanks for playing. 

[Brewcrew82]

And the Dodgers just took the lead....

[markedman5]

Dodgers come back,to score 3 in bottom half……I’m good with that……

[wntrtxn21]

It had to be about 500-1 betting odds that Turang would whiff or roll over on one to the 2B. He looked like a high school kid. I can't imagine what Murphy was thinking when he penciled in Turang at 2B tonight. Oh crap! Here we go again with Rea. He's absolutely horrible tonight. Another bomb and 4 straight hits. 8 earned runs in 1+ IPs. That's 10 dingers allowed in his last 6 games. Gotta hope the Dodgers can mash and beat the cubs. 

[markedman5]

4-2 now

Nice.    They need to keep going.    LA is pitching a guy with an 8 ERA for god sakes

[brewfanmn]

Worrying about the division when the odds have been above 99% for three weeks is such a loser's mentality. Go Cubs (tonight)

[adambr2]

Honestly don't care what happens with the Cubs and Dodgers, at all. None of it really matters. Nothing will matter for us except starting to play better baseball than we have so far in September. Everything else is just noise. 

[wOOgiE22]

There is 1. Only 7 more to go.

Leave Rea in there now.  Why tax the bullpen on a game out of hand?  

[adambr2]

Worrying about an 8.5 game lead with 18 games to play is wild to me. 

It would be among the biggest collapses in MLB history. Yeah it's possible inasmuch as everything is until it's mathematically impossible, but if we managed that, trust me, you don't want to see us in the playoffs anyway.

I'm talking about the playoff pitching staff, not today's game. 

[brewfanmn]

Would be interesting to go back and find some of the early season hysteria every time Murphy sat Turang vs. a lefty or pinch hit for him

Hard to argue with that.

Our pitchers look spent though, nothing left in the tank it seems for a few of them.

Well, if they hope to win a World Series one of these years they're going to have to find a way to at least partially refill that tank come September.
