It was great that the Rockies beat the Cubs last night. I have a feeling that will be their only win of the series. Any games they win in Wrigley Field next week should be considered a bonus.
-
I assume you mean Rea, but I think you’re on the right track. My read on it is that Rea doesn’t go more than 5 innings anyway, so have Megill face the top of the order and to treat it like a late game situation and possibly pitch into the second. Then have Rea ready and hope he can get to the seventh.
-
Yes. With their pitching they probably need 10 to outscore the Cubs.
-
I suspect Rea will be in early enough tomorrow Houser is going on Thursday.
-
Donaldson can still hit them a long way when he connects.
-
Your job is to interview people off camera and then tell the audience what they said. I’m not sure how else you do that. I can honestly say I never thought anything about it until people here brought it up, and it still doesn’t bother me.
-
Oh,oh. What’s wrong with Canha?
-
Seems like a straightforward and quick way to describe what somebody told her.
-
Bard has been the Rockies closer but he’s on the IL. Do you really expect the worst team in the league to have a lockdown bullpen? Counting on the Rockies for help is a losing proposition.
-
I don’t think that’s really true about Burnes or any other ace typically being matched against the other team’s best pitcher. All teams have their rotations and for the most part they put out the pitcher whose turn it is. Maybe on Opening Day most everyone starts their ace but it doesn’t take long for those rotations to get out of synch due to off days, rainouts, some teams using 6 man rotations, etc.
-
This is just what the doctor ordered to give the bullpen a break.
-
Umpire injury delay.
-
Completely boneheaded baserunnjng by Bell.
-
Hope it’s not an Achilles problem.
-
Brewers OBP so far tonight is .762 (9 for 13)
-
Two promising innings piddled away.
-
Most likely.
-
Only on the playground.
-
They were up by 2 runs so putting the tying run on base would be questionable.
-
OK, so that's a different measure just using a team's YTD winning percentage, where FanGraphs says they use the opponents' forward looking projections. If we're using Fangraphs to project playoff percentages it seems we should use their SOS projections too. Either way, the schedules are close, but the tougher part of the Brewers schedule is in the next two weeks, but the Cubs schedule is tougher in the last week using these measures, mainly because of their games against the Braves.
-
I guess when Counsell said yesterday that calling up Donaldson wasn't imminent he meant the next few hours.
-
Maybe I misread the SOS on Fangraphs. They had the Brewers at .488 and the Cubs at .465. Because that was in the section for projected wins and losses and followed the winning percentage for the rest of the season I thought it referred to the SOS for the rest of the season. Maybe that's the SOS to date.
-
Ironically the game Alcantara started is the one game the Brewers won in that series (by a score of 1-0).
-
I still have flashbacks to last September when a weak Marlins team came into AFF and all but ended the Brewers playoff hopes by taking 3 of 4. Can’t afford a repeat of that.
-
I didn’t really make any predictions so I’m not sure what I would be wrong about. On the schedules, I think Fangraphs has the Brewers as having a slightly harder schedule for the rest of the season, but I would agree that they are close enough to be considered comparable. I think that if you break it down, the tougher part of the Cubs schedule, at least on paper, comes in the last week when they play 3 in Atlanta and 3 in Milwaukee. I’m sure Fangraphs can’t take into account any question of whether the Braves may not be fully motivated in the last week. I’m also not sure whether their simulations take into account that Gallen and Kelly will apparently not be pitching against the Cubs. On the other hand the Brewers play the last week at home so their final week schedule looks slightly more favorable than the Cubs’. If they are still leading by 3 games going into that week their projection for winning the division will be significantly higher than it is now.
