[Frisbee Slider]

Can we rest Uribe and Megill in game one? Let Ashby or Hall get the last two?

[Brian]

Collins is very Good.

The Pirates have outscored opponents 43-4 in the six games since playing the Brewers.

Yes, but they're still 12 games under .500 and you can't discount what they did before that.

I thought double headers were 7 innings? Did I miss something?

It was 2020 and 2021. It reverted in 2022.

That was a pandemic thing because they played a lot of doubleheaders to try to squeeze as many games in as possible.

Ah I see.

Btw we didn't call up a 27th man did we?

[HarryDoyle]

Collins showing shades of Ben Oglivie against Baltimore the final day of 1982.

I think the 27th man is only for game 2. I haven't heard anything and the announcement will probably come after the 1st game is over.

A young Andrew Mccutchen with the speed also.

I think we have the best team in the division. I just feel confident that we will overtake the Cubs. I think they pitch to contact too much and are too top heavy offensively. Over 162, the best pitching team will take it.

[da swedish german]

if I hear "he just missed it" after one more pop up i'm going to lose it lol

[brewcrewdue80]

I don't recall who I thought hit a HR similar in swing style as Braun earlier this season, but that Collins HR swing had a resemblance moments ago.

I have enjoyed watching our playoff odds basically go straight up

I'd generally agree, assuming normal health from both teams going forward.   The big thing here will be what the Cubs do at the deadline, will they add a legit starter and 1-2 bullpen arms that work out?  They have money to do it and recently I know they had a well regarded farm (can't say I've looked in the last 18ish months and after trading for Tucker). 

But will they?   Dodgers and other teams are so good that it might be best to wait it out since they'd still have a very good shot to win division without going too hard at the headline. Quick take, if I'm them I probably just do a couple cheap BP additions and see what happens.   Save money for Tucker and/or save prospects to replace tucker or for use in the future.

Nice solid game. See y'all in a bit

[markedman5]

What a great way to start the day!

[folly412]

WC1.  Increase the lead tonight!

[Frisbee Slider]

I assume Haase catches game 2? 🙂🤷‍♂️

[RobertCrawley]

Let’s bring some Mizery to the Mets

7 inning doubleheaders were the bomb. I wish they’d make that a regular part of the schedule.

Like 7 inning doubleheader every other Saturday, which would also give guys like 13 extra full days off during the season.
