I mean, they pretty much did that July -August... If hanging around is trailing by between 5 and 7 games in the standings for several weeks, Im all for it. It will be more than satisfying to handle the Cubs a wildcard berth despite them likely winding up neither thr NL's second best record - and never really sniffing a division title chance since the calendar turned to august

One thing ive long considered to be a weakness with the Brewers when it comes to the postseason is their emphasis on positional versatility limiting their playoff rosters. Over the course of a regular season, having a bench full of guys who carry all the fielders gloves and can fill in at many positions due to pitching matchups, guys needing a day off, etc probably helps to grind out a few more wins over the 162.... However, being stuck with that same bench during a best of 5 or 7 game series in October does you no good when you need the most hitting/power talent you can possibly get on the field and thr strategy shifts to finding the most chances for scoring runs in the late innings. Bottom line, if Hoskins is healthy, he needs to be in Milwaukee and in the lineup so he is ready for the playoffs - if that means Bauers gets DFA'd or Seigler is gone, or even Vaughn is benched, it needs to happen. If Yelich continues to not be playing or IL-d right now through this, Ill also lose my mind.

From a w-l record standpoint, then so is the rest of the league. Cubs are also 5-5 in their last 10 even with today's win, btw. but I do get the concern of all these nagging (and in some cases significant) injuries keeping guys out of the lineup/unavailable in the pen, too. September callups have been a wet fart in the wind for this team because it's mainly been injury replacements. Yelich needs to be able to get back in the lineup - this is already the 3rd game they'll be playing shorthanded with him not on IL but not able to hit off the bench, and it's leading to guys like Chourio not getting a day when he might have needed it ramping back up.

Feels like we need a dominant Priester start tonight

would Contreras have been that dead of a duck if he tagged on that flyball to Bader? Even if that is a 20-80 shot at plating a run I think I would have sent him in that spot at this point in the game

Disagree - when you think of it, both the pitcher and the hitter put those type of game-altering call in the hands of someone/something they can't control by nibbling or opting not to swing on a close pitch they probably weren't going to do anything with. If a 50/50 call doesn't go their way, it's a tough pill to swallow but it's still on them. Williams can also avoid that situation by being better earlier in the inning (hell earlier in the counts) to not even be in a jam. ABS is just going to make both pitchers and hitters struggle who to blame for a "bad call" leading to an outcome they don't like. It does need to be implemented to take the egregious ball-strike calls out of the equation that can swing how at bats go in key situations.

I get it, but I'm officially done with the "weak remaining schedule" narrative being the main reason to be concerned about the Cubs. Ive been hearing all about it since the all star break, when the Cubs were still a game ahead of the Brewers for the division and many were checking how close the 3rd wildcard spots in the standings was for playoff positioning. 2 months into that "easy 2nd half schedule", the Cubs have managed to lose 7 games in the standings headed into action today. And they are running out of games to find a way to play the 0.900 baseball necessary to catch a Brewers team that is now entering a pretty soft September schedule of its own compared to what they've gone through since late July
-
The Cubs are 5-5 in their last 10 games, mostly against teams way below 0.500. The Brewers are 5-5 in their last 10 against two of the other best teams in baseball and clubs right at 0.500. Might take more than the rest of September for the Cubs to gain 6 games of ground at that rate no matter who they are playing. Tucker isnt 100% and PCA has sucked since being named an all star.

Just dont walk him
-
No walks please - Harper and Schwarber have been quiet tonight and I dont like the idea of them up and able to tie or take the lead in this game with 1 swing late. Koenig starting the 9th against righties feels like Murphy wants a jam to work out of. Don't really love it
-
Tough break on a hard hit ball
-
Thankfully the Brewers will only drop 1.5 games in the standings then after they win tonight....did you hear the Cubs have the tiebreaker???
-
Cement mixers....place a sinker in a good spot here
-
Playing with fire late...gotta lock this game down
-
Gives them an extra out to turn the lineup over further in the 9th, too. Ok - score a few more now!
-
Tough turn, but inning should be over
-
Way too much offspeed from Ashby in that at bat - trust your damn stuff.
-
Even the 5 run 1st....bottom of the order is Nada tonight
-
Please no walks here
-
Good Ashby please
-
Ok, lets get out of this inning without the game getting tight
-
I feel like ive been waiting since Seigler first got called up for him to justify keeping himself in Milwaukee.... Still waiting, and frankly it's long past due to see if he can lead Nashville to big things down their stretch run
