    I’m going to the games tonight and tomorrow so that could trigger the end of the offensive surge. I was a little surprised to see Canha over Tellez against the RHP after his HR and 4 RBI last night. But it’s hard to question using Canha. Counsell might also be anticipating a LHP coming in as the Padres second pitcher and doesn’t want to get hung up on playing matchups based on just the starter. Just play the overall better hitter.
  2. BruisedCrew
    You’re assuming that Tellez would have actually had a chance to hit. Counsell might also have thought that if he put in Tellez they would have walked him intentionally to set up a DP and he would have given up a player for nothing. Trailing by a run they would have likely pitched to Tellez instead of putting the winning run on base. The fact that he had Tellez on deck pretty clearly indicates that getting the tying run in and getting the winning run on second changed his strategy.

    Then the bench would have been completely empty with no opportunity to pinch hit later if the situation presented itself. It’s too bad nobody is likely to ask him that question but I’m confident he had his reasons. Frankly, neither hitter is a great option in that situation.
  4. BruisedCrew
    I’m not saying I agree with it but at least if there is a rationale I can accept the manager’s decision. I’m sure he couldn’t care less about the opinions of Internet posters who don’t have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
  5. BruisedCrew
    True, but it didn’t help them today that Ohtani left the mound in the second inning with an injury after hitting a 2 run HR in the first. Losing your best pitcher and best hitter in one blow is pretty cruel.
  6. BruisedCrew
    Counsell can explain himself, but once the game was tied he had to think about the defense for the 11th inning. I think he planned to use Tellez if they were still behind, but switched once the score was tied.

    If you’re thinking Wiemer should have bunted, my guess is that the chances that he would lay down a successful bunt against that pitcher are next to zero.
  8. BruisedCrew
    I was almost wondering if it would make sense for Turang to bunt. He got the functional equivalent.
  9. BruisedCrew
    Way to go with the pitch Willy.

    Two out runs have killed the Brewers all day.
  11. BruisedCrew
    Bad Williams today.
  12. BruisedCrew
    It would depend on where the ball bounced and how quickly the fielder recovered. That was pretty shallow and Turang was just rounding second when the ball was caught.
  13. BruisedCrew
    Ordinarily, I feel pretty good about Williams being in the game in the top of the ninth, but after his last outing against the twins, and the way the ball is flying today, I’m a little nervous about it.

    Cubs win, but it was against a lousy team
  15. BruisedCrew
    There’s what Adames can do when he goes with the ball where it’s pitched instead of pulling off everything.
  16. BruisedCrew
    The ball may be flying out of the park today but you still have to hit it. And the Brewers haven’t done much of that since Contreras HR.
  17. BruisedCrew
    I’m a lot more irritated with Burnes surrendering gopher balls than the home plate umpire’s ball-strike calls.
  18. BruisedCrew
    The maddening thing is that he has shown that he can drive the ball to the opposite field, including hitting the ball out of the park. There he had a low outside pitch well off the plate that he should have taken, but if he had to swing he could have tried to drive it to right. By trying to pull it there was almost nothing he could do but roll into an easy DP.
  19. BruisedCrew
    Do you think in a system like that teams would routinely challenge early count pitches early in the game? If so, I’m afraid we would be back to 4 hour games.
  20. BruisedCrew
    Adames drives me nuts when he tries to pull outside pitches and rolls over them.
  21. BruisedCrew
    He clearly made it in time, but someone might want to remind Contreras that when there is a chance for outs on the bases behind you it’s a good idea to hustle across the plate.
  22. BruisedCrew
    I don’t see how anyone can be sitting in the sun today. The seats for our 10 pack are in the sun until about 3 PM, and when it’s really hot and sunny I’ll sit further back in the shade until the shade reaches our seats. Fortunately between night games, 3 PM games, and early season games with the roof closed I don’t have to do that too often. But I can guarantee I wouldn’t be sitting in the sun today.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Might not want to watch it anyway. Burnes is off to a rough start.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Yeah, if you exclude the games they’ve won, the Cubs haven’t done that well. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. By any objective measure the Cubs have been very good over the last month. They’ve beaten up on bad teams and won 3 of 4 against the Reds and won 3 game series against the Braves and Jays. Maybe they can’t keep it up, but they have been trending in a good direction.
  25. BruisedCrew
    True, but since July 20 they are 20-9 and the Brewers are 15-14. So, in their last 29 games they have gained 5 games.
