    Fedde leaves a tough situation for Mears, but he did what you needed, kept you in the game, and ate innings. We were always going to need more than a couple to win this one. Try to keep it to 3, and let's hit.

    Man, Lockridge is a pitch-seeing machine. It's insane. Every time up. It's his one weird trick, and I am here for it.
  3. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I heard that before I saw it, and I assumed it was just an awful send on a shallow liner. Then I watched it. That was legit.
  4. Cool Hand Lucroy
    59 games left (our 29 + their 30). Magic number is 24. If we assume every game is a coin flip, we need to come out on the right side in about 41 percent of them. Obviously, every game is not a coin flip. But that's a good place to be. I think these next 8-10 days tell us a lot. We stick around 6 or 7 up, even the most anxious among us (myself included) would have to feel confident.

    I thought he pitched really well. My bigger question is: What the heck is the plan with this kid? I am here thinking he is a glorified opener, and there he is throwing a career high in pitches. I get that we need the innings, but I feel like we're at a point where everyone knows we need to protect the arm and keep this guy available for the playoffs. But we're also running him out there every fifth of sixth day for 80 pitches. I would advocate a move to the pen at this point. We've got Tobias. We have Gasser coming back soon. Just make Miz the piggy-back guy for a 2-3 inning stretch. I think running him out there as a starter just tempts you to use him like a starter. Right now, there's more value in having him available for October while getting some regular work.
  6. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Assume that is exactly what will happen with Tobias tonight.

    This looks like a hard schedule, but I think the same thing every year. Never really know how it works out with injuries and sequencing.
  8. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I do think either the offense is going to have to give us an 8-run outburst or two OR we're going to have to get 7 or 8 from a starter in the next few games in order to log a W and rest the bullpen. We've been short on that all this last week. Good news is, Woody, Priester, and Q may well be candidates for the latter, so nice to have them all going, often against pitchers who have struggled this year.
  9. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I think the Cubs might underwhelm this stretch. Coors is a wild card, the Giants are decent, and the Braves are actually playing up to their talent level.
  10. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Looking at schedules. We have the tough 6 coming here, but before that we have 4 against the DBacks, and after we go Pirates, Rangers, Cardinals, Angels, Cardinals. It's baseball, of course. But if you can roll up an 11-4 or 10-5 stretch there, you're going to be in good shape before a tough last week. Seems like a sneaky big week in the race here. Cubs have 6 against the Giants and Rockies. We have 7 against the DBacks and Blue Jays. If we can outdo them by 1.5 or 2.5 and head in to September up 6-7, you'd have to think we'd be tough to catch.

    Really two of three games in this series Murph refused to sub out Lockridge for Perk. That's a bad move and a mistake on his part. I get he loves Lockridge. I honestly do too. But Perk is really a key part of this team, and should be playing late in tight games. Feels a little like Murph is cheating on him with a new crush. I've said it before. The division wasn't over when we were down big in June, it wasn't over when we went up 9, and it ain't over now. But we are in a good spot. More than that, this season has been awesome. And we will be playing in October. After that, it's all random, and even winning one series will feel glorious regardless of the circumstances. If there's one thing I've learned from decades of daily sports passion, it's that the outcome doesn't actually matter as much we pretend it does.
  12. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Nobody wants to hear that it's fine, but it's fine. If we're up 10 games in two weeks, people will be terrified that we're coasting. The Cubs are good. They might get really hot and pass us. We might play poorly. Honestly, winning two of three, while facing Ray and Webb during this stretch, would've been a HUGE success. We've got four more favorable pitching matchups against the DBacks. We're going to win between 94 and 104 games (probably closer to the upper end), and the rest is just how well our competition plays.
  13. Cool Hand Lucroy
    We got so used to the offense blowing people out during the streak, it feels like it's been forever since we crushed somebody. Of course, it was really only Monday.
  14. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Exactly the kind of inning you want from Patrick there. Nicely done. Ray doesn't look like he has his best stuff today, so let's keep being patient and then get a big swing.
  15. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Giants making everything in the air an adventure that inning. Shame they ended up outs.
  16. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Turns out, our lineup is pretty good.
  17. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I have been really impressed with Danny Jansen's ABs. Would like to get him more of them. Tough to find a way to do it, but maybe just more willingness to pinch hit a catcher since Siegler can technically do it?
  18. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Plus Contreras is no slouch.
  19. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Yeah, I like that we bunt. But we have been executing it poorly, and Turang (outside of Contreras and maybe Vaughn) is the last guy who should be doing it in that situation.
  20. Cool Hand Lucroy
    And two of them pretty awful.
  21. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Need to make sure Ueck's ghost has an obstructed view. For poeticness.
  22. Cool Hand Lucroy
    It's pretty dusty in the house during this Uecker ceremony. Miss you, Bob.
  23. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Given they have the same number of games remaining, the Cubs can either make up 5 or fewer games (in which they lose the division) or 6+ (in which case they win) Therefore, the Brewers lead is 5.5. Call it 5.9 if you want. We can't lead by 6 exactly, since there is no such thing as a tie anymore.
  24. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Truthfully, I think there's very little difference between the top 5 teams in the National League. I'd love to win the division and get a bye, but one reason I'm not sweating it too much is that we're going to end up playing the Cubs/Dodgers/Padres even if we finish as the number one overall seed. Throw the Phillies in there too if you want. Whoever emerges from that mix as the bye seeds is going to have to prove it anyway, and division titles just aren't that sweet if you lose (in October) to the team you beat out (in September).
  25. Cool Hand Lucroy
    The ONLY thing that complicates this is that tonight is the night you'd rather have Freddy go 7 and give up 2 or 3.
