naw - this is entertainment enough for me. I don't need pity to enter the room in my conscience at all, today!
-
Soroka with 30 pitches to get 2 outs himself so far
-
Cubs still holding the lead in HRs today though....and they do own the tiebreaker
-
ok, this is now approaching upside-down territory nothing wrong with it in my opinion....just kinda bonkers
-
I don't think I'd ever throw PCA a strike on the first pitch. There we go - stay out of big inning trouble and keep grinding at bats out when you're back in the dugout.
-
I think a big part of that is the fact the Brewers have seen Boyd so much, too. Not that the Cubs had any other great options to start game one (maybe Soroka?)...but was surprised that Boyd was that starter. Knowing he got knocked out after a 30 pitch 1st inning probably shouldn't sit well with Cub fans knowing Boyd may now get the ball for either game 4 or 5, either.
-
if Freddy can mow through the 2nd...so huge - just turn this into a laugher
-
not as many as the Brewers have scored in 2/3 an inning this series
-
I'd agree with you more if there weren't all the days off between games 1-2 and 3-4...feels like a game where the Cubs could just throw away if it gets completely out of hand and the pen isn't burned out because of it.
-
Maybe Boyd can come in around the 4th inning again tomorrow Craigtober
-
loving this AB no matter what happens... YES!!
-
there's that elite defense on full display, lol
-
Marlins won that trade
-
Get a 3rd run this inning
-
So this is fun
-
Surprised CC left Boyd in to face Turang
-
Throw strikes and keep the ball in the park, Freddy! Liking this lineup against a lefty going on short rest, and someone the Brewers have faced a ton this year
-
Then who comes in to pitch for the Cubs in that spot?
-
Yep, and based on what was left (namely not left) in the Cubs pen, things could've gone incredibly sideways had that call been made correctly right after he started his 2nd inning of work and had already given up a bomb to Merril. That is exhibit A why the ABS review is going to dramatically help the game - and Id say the same thing if it was the Cubs that got screwed on that call.
-
Exactly - the Padres had a quality chances to take a bigger lead in Game 1 and didn't capitalize.
-
I dislike the every other day game schedule for the NLDS, which should pretty much keep bullpens on really good rest throughout - Kind of wish they wouldn't have planned off days between games 1-2 and 3-4, as it would preserve some of the strain the Cubs' pitching staff put on themselves during the 3 wildcard games. That being said, these off days between games will give the Brewers' key pen arms all the rest they need to be available every single game, too. The mix of Ashby, Koenig, Uribe, and Megill being able to go rinse/repeat for 5+ innings each playoff game as needed without much of any worry on rest is pretty damn solid. As has been the case with other Brewers' postseason runs, how far they go will most certainly depend on how many runs they can consistently score. At some point even the most airtight pitching staffs spring postseason leaks, and teams that win titles take advantage.

WisDOT needs to reposition every single one of their construction barrels and jersey barriers between south Milwaukee and the state line, plus just randomly throw flashing lane change signs pointing in all directions, through Monday morning -

I should think the Padres GM needs to pack his office up - he needs to be canned. Lets petition game 1 to be moved up to tomorrow night! -

Sure helps that the Pads seem to suck at hitting, too - at least up to these last 6 outs the Cubs need to get. Lot of key relievers already burned through on the Cub side today, too
