    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
  3. BruisedCrew
    There’s what Adames can do when he goes with the ball where it’s pitched instead of pulling off everything.
  4. 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.

    I’m a lot more irritated with Burnes surrendering gopher balls than the home plate umpire’s ball-strike calls.
  6. 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.

    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.
  8. BruisedCrew
    Adames drives me nuts when he tries to pull outside pitches and rolls over them.
  9. 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.

    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.

    Might not want to watch it anyway. Burnes is off to a rough start.

    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.
  13. 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.
  14. BruisedCrew
    When you have a four run lead I’m all in favor of 100 MPH fastballs right down the middle.
  15. BruisedCrew
    Thank you for that gift out.

    Reminiscent of the Dodgers big inning last Tuesday.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Brock was obviously sandbagging telling us how anemic the Twins are against LHP.
  18. BruisedCrew
    Tigers matched the 4 runs the Cubs scored in the top of the 4th.
  19. BruisedCrew
    This week the Cubs will play 7 games while the Brewers play 5, covering the 2 additional games the Brewers had played after Sunday’s games. Those 7 games are on the road, but against the Tigers and Pirates, so the Brewers can’t be counting on much help.

    If you look at market size for a baseball team based on the number of people in the area in which your team would be the natural “local” favorite team, it only stands to reason that the Brewers would be in one of the smallest markets. Many metropolitan areas that are similar to Milwaukee have other cities in their natural areas of fan interest. Cincinnati, for example has the closest major league team for cities like Indianapolis, Louisville, Dayton, and Columbus, The Brewers natural area is less of a circle than a compressed semicircle because of Lake Michigan to the east and Chicago to the south. That geography gives the Brewers a lot fewer people who would naturally be fans because of geographic proximity. I don’t believe that the Brewers market of fans is anything other than one of the lowest in MLB.

    I almost had a hard time thinking of this as a 9 game road trip. With the off days on both ends of the White Sox series where they can bus in on Friday, and face a bad team, I was more focused on the 6 games against LA and Texas. Coming back to go 3-3 in those 6 was great.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Williams didn’t exactly fool the hitters on the last outs in this series. Just glad to get that over before the tying run came to the plate.
  23. BruisedCrew
    I’m calling it now. I want to see Williams in the ninth even with a lead of 4 or 5. Maybe more than that I’d be OK trying someone else.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Taylor has been zeroed in on that right field line today.
  25. BruisedCrew
    He didn’t reach Duran but good result.
