    Real question, Cubs have fallen behind the Phillies now in the wild card... who do we want to have home field there for that 4/5 game?
  2. liveforoctober
    Big collective sigh of relief. 3 was a dream this series. 2 was the goal. 1 was important. The Cubs got the one they should have gotten. We stole the toss up game. Now we get our two guys to get one more. Big time control of this thing.

    I'm just logging in to my computer after the day... I'm heading over there pretty quick.

    The playoffs last year had that same vibe, especially in the 1st inning. I felt like someone was going yard in the first 8 pitches.

    9 pitch at bat to start with some patience from Chourio and then two 2nd pitch nice contact outs and Boyd is out of it in 13 pitches. Kind of a 'shucks' top half inning.

    Lock in. Win tonight and last night is all but forgotten.

    There's no way to sugarcoat last night BUT this series on paper should be a split and last night was their best opportunity. It just feels terrible because of how they won. If Gasser keeps the ball in the park we are fine tonight I think. Take 1 or 2 of the next 3 and then win the series in Milwaukee and we can breathe easy.

    If he is really hitting a fatigue wall because of the innings he is at... I wouldn't mind sticking him on the IL again and giving him most of September to relax and tinker with things. Come back for the last week and get a tune up start before the lights turn back on. He came back from the IL this last time and threw well in 3 of his first 4 starts before yesterday. If he really has 3-4 good starts left in him ... let's use them in the playoffs? We can fight through a Pirates or Orioles game with Gordon or Crow or whomever. Bring Harrison back later this month rested and with a fixed delivery. We can't win this without him.

    I am just getting home. I saw the score at 6-0 earlier and just seeing it now. Looks like I didn't want to be home for this. Not going to go back and read through any of this thread so apologize if this was mentioned... My best attempt at a silver lining is this might be exactly what we needed? We were collectively (team and fans) feeling pretty good coming into this. They are a good team and at home ... a split was the most likely scenario anyway, but getting embarrassed might be the kick in the butt we need to refocus again. This can't fly. They get their night. Let's end the division in the next couple of days.

    The Brewers defensive strategy is apparent. Other than at 1B and at C we have only SS and CF* on our roster. We are getting the best athletes and filtering them around the diamond. It is more likely Made breaks into the big leagues somewhere other than SS with us because of it.

    I wish you could place bets on transactions like this. I would have bet my mortgage on this after Bryse reached for his lower back last night.

    We are getting the Cubs at the right time, they are playing a lot of games in a row and we get them for 7 of the last 10 of that stretch. Maybe most importantly, we get the final three of that long stretch for them at home. Obviously it might end up meaning nothing but on paper we are in a good spot to sew this thing up in the next week and a half.

    Update: I will not be inclined.
  14. liveforoctober
    For sure, IF this was a strategic move by the player... He gets big league pay on the IL vs being DFA'd. That's probably worth $70-$80k or something like that to be stashed on the DL vs being released.

    I thought Lara maybe. Vaughn would have ended up R v R?

    "If he's worth the hassle" is a wild way to describe having the top prospect in baseball.

    Who is your 4th starter for us this post season? I'm assuming Miz, Harrison, Henderson are the first 3. Who are you starting in a Gm4?
  18. liveforoctober
    Little side note - I just took a look at May's first 4 games. Sanchez caught the first two. Contreras caught Game 3 and was catching Game 4. If May shoves today I may be inclined to request May/Sanchez until it doesn't work.

    Does anyone have Yelich' stat line since his initial demotion into the 7th spot for a few games a few weeks ago? Instead of giving him a few days off... maybe slide Turang down to 7th in the order for a few days just to give him a mental reset and take some pressure off. I know the Cubs put PCA down there for a minute before bringing him back to lead off and ever since they did it he has galloped ahead of the MVP race. I wonder if there is any psychology to stars taking a deep breath and being humbled by a lineup demotion?

    But it has to be included, no? The Orioles did allow us to pick a year earlier than we would have otherwise which gave us access to Burke. If it unfair to call the trade Burnes/Bodine -> Ortiz/Hall/Burke?
  21. liveforoctober
    Is Quero anywhere close to being a catching option for us this year? With September call ups looming, most are hypothesizing Naylor is the position player coming up so we can utilize Sanchez' bat more often ... no one has mentioned Quero. I'm assuming that means he is incapable of being behind the dish anytime soon?

    It's been wild watching that staff 'develop' through the year. injuries and patchwork attempts. then they reload and bring in a half dozen or more arms at the deadline... give up Rojas and Ballesteros as well as half a dozen more prospects. ... and they remain in shambles.
  23. liveforoctober
    Sal Stewart just hit another. This game has the makings of a 12-10 episode.
  24. liveforoctober
    My 9 year old self loved Kevin Seitzer.
  25. liveforoctober
    They said on the broadcast last night he and Gasser are flipping in the rotation now - so May is expected to start tomorrow and then Gasser in May's next spot, etc *edit, I see wibadgers23 beat me to it.
