Cubs (Gausman) vs Brewers (Henderson): 09/09/26, 6:40 PM

For the hardcore analytics guys.   The cubs are the best offense and best defense in baseball.    At some point they have to stop choking games away right?    I mean the percentages have to be with them?

Gausman really shut us down last time. That splitter was landing a lot better. He’s getting a little dose of reality this time around. 

[jason21nl]

Let’s goooooooo!!!!!!!

[trwi7]

Only 102.1 off the bat?  Scrub.

Well, horrific bullpens and choking away games tend to go hand in hand.

Best defense doesn’t include pitching. 
 

They have 2 SPs with a FIP below 4.40 and Gausman might not be in that group after tonight.

Just quit now and get back on the bus to the flatlands, CC.

Umpire doesn’t have a clue

In this particular series the balls and strikes called have been awful. 

[HarryDoyle]

Murphy must've had a talk with the team about challenges after their disaster last night. That's two so far they should've challenged.

[adambr2]

Just wondering if Happ cried and cussed Henderson out when he got struck out by him again or if he just walked back to the dugout in shame this time. 

[BCF]

Henderson is so good 

[Zad Fnark]

Henderson is smokin' everyone tonight.

I believe the Stanley Cup playoffs might have the WS playoffs beat for underdogs pulling off upsets. A goalie standing on his head and shutting the door on opponent(s) may be a greater random occurance in the NHL playoffs than upsetting a superior team in the MLB playoffs. Also home ice seems to be of very little consequence during a NHL series.

This is true, although it's somewhat mitigated by all four rounds being 7-game series. I'd say baseball is more random, but it's close.

[Bulldogboy]

Henderson is a stud.

[Yaz]

Yelich OPS .715. 

[Jopal78]

Golly, on Marquee the Cubs are talking about 2 guys both coming back from their second Tommy John (Steele, Shelby Miller) as potential bullpen additions. That’s how you know they’re scared about their bullpen
