There is the MVP! -
Aguilar is an underrated defender IMO. He is a much better athlete than you'd assume on the eye test. Agree with this. He does make me nervous on pop-ups, though. And his base running is terrifying.
-
Big double play! I know I should be meaner to the Cubs, but watching how their guys work ABs is consistently impressive. They jist seem hard to get out, and it isn't just against us.
-
Rizzo has had great ABs yesterday and today. He looks locked in.
-
Two (and too) quick innings.
-
Speaking of well-placed grounders!
-
Gameday is fun to just see the EV. I notice a lot of ground balls that look routine hit 95-105. Makes the launch angle thing make sense. Grounders just have to be exceptionally well-placed to result in anything other than an out.
-
Nice, easy first! Get the lead!
-
Well, three strikes to Zo, and it is 3-1
-
Yeah. Cain drilled one to Baez. Yelich drove it straight into the ground, but it hopped crazy high so he had time to leg it out. Braun's was pretty much a standard grounder to short. Braun did hit it 104 mph. Just right to Baez.
-
Agreed. Though this is definitely offense-first from them today. Unless I am wrong, Murphy grades out bad at 2nd and Heyward is much better in the corners. Schwarber has good metrics, but we have seen our share of goofs. Baez makes up for a lot on the infield. We will see.
-
I am surprissed Chacin gets the ball as well, but I get it. The Brewers are a bullpen team. The biggest thing you want going in to an elimination game from our side is a rested pen. If we weren't playing today, the WC plan would be to get 3-5 at most from Chacin. I imagine the thought process is that a hopeful 5-6 today is more valuable than 3-5 tomorrow. Plus, he is on regular rest and hasn't had Anderson's extended layoff. I think we will see a longer leash, but if he really struggles then you hope Peralta/Anderson can eat some innings. Man, how great would it be if our bargain bin FA pitcher gets 6 scoreless while Darvish rehabs and Quintana, the prospect capital bankrupter, lays a huge egg. Let's do this! Go Brewers!
-
Peralta just scares me in a moment like this. Guy with control issues likely to be hopped up on adrenaline. I don't know. Totally, as has been said, a high risk high reward guy. If I were Maddon, I might lineup Murphy, Zobrist, Baez, Rizzo to prevent a Cedeno start. I would probably start Xavier if I knew it was going to be Murphy, Zobrist, Rizzo. I am going to try to enjoy this one because a Tuesday game will be no fun at all. Just a ball of nerves.
-
The nice thing if we play tomorrow is that we can still stack the roster, right? Bring the whole 40-man?
-
That was AWESOME by Guerra!
-
I know there are conflicting emotions here, but I am still a nervous wreck. We have already thrown champagne all over one hated rivals locker room. I desperately want the chance to do the same thing to another hated rival.
-
Still 9 outs to get. I will be pumped if we can get them.
-
Look at it like this. We are guaranteed two playoff games if we win (I know technically it is not a playoff Monday, but it is a championship). Were we to win the division, we would get three. Plus, the Cards are going to win.
-
Cards need to rally here! I feel it. Good part of the order coming up in 5 and 6.
-
Let's go, Junior! I think STL is going to get a few more, but let's take care of business!
-
I remember the day they hired CC after like a 4-17 start. I remember the trades, Stearns comin in, the long 2015 and 2016. I remember the loss to STL last year after going up 6-1. It has all been building to a day like today, to a week like this really. So go get it done, and let's take this division one way or another!
-
Big inning. Gotta go clean through this part of the order.
-
Do you PH for Perez here?
