  1. Fastball not very electric, but the breaking stuff is breaking quite a bit…and hitting his spots. props to Contreras or whoever decided to go away from the fastball.
  2. 1) He threw 11 pitches 2) This is quite meaningless in an elimination game. I will roll the dice’s on a second Megill inning.
  3. Megill should have still been in. Literally rushing to put Miz into this game as fast as possible when most teams wouldn’t even have him on their postseason roster. Smh
  4. Doesn’t help winning this series tonight doesn’t feel like a massive accomplishment now. More, *deep exhale* that was embarrassing, let’s forget about this before Monday type deal.
  5. I mean, yah, easily. You’d have to be sipping some serious Uecker Magic kool aid to have much confidence in them having a chance at beating the Dodgers anyway. I’d take an NLCS appearance all day. It isn’t even the whole Cubs/Greg factor…I think getting to the NLCS is a big deal for fan interest even if we lose it in the end. If we lose…it’s pretty deflating. Not just another disappointing result, but I’d go into this is finally our downfall mode.
  6. The point stands though. There are now 3 generations that wouldn’t really associate with 1982 at all. The only reason I feel some of that nostalgia is because of rain delays in the 2005-2015 era. Lol
  7. To be fair, many of us aren’t the like 60+ years old that it would take to care about the 1982 run. I suppose it is the worst in franchise history…but to what is becoming a majority of fans, it is kinda meaningless.
  8. I do think any win involves Miz. I think they will throw him either winning or losing. Could end terribly, but we need people like Miz to be great in October to get anywhere anyway. As far as this being some horrible franchise loss, meh, I guess I’m just not that obsessive over the whole Greg storyline. Certainly not worse than a home loss in Game 7 of the NLCS. Maybe I’d care if the Cubs went on to get to the World Series…but that would be quite a shock.
  9. Where do we get these announcers? Not even a peep about one of the worst strike calls this postseason to start that AB. *** Also, good job Murph putting Yelich lead off over Chourio. Got BURNED there.
  10. Need a couple guys to string hits together. Right now everyone walking up there to score 3 runs with the swing of a bat with no one on.
  11. Based on what? Just because of the win record? Notably a single hot streak long removed from? Their starting pitching is horrid without Woodruff. Peralta is the ace and doesn’t go 6 innings half the time. It leaves almost no room for error and we need Peralta to be good and win those games. The offense is good, but it also doesn’t exactly excel at the one thing that typically wins postseason ball, homers. Good hitters, pesky…but stringing a bunch of hits together becomes rare when you get to big boy pitchers (not what the Cubs have)
  12. I’d care more if Woodruff was healthy. But he isn’t and I’m guessing he wouldn’t pitch at all in the NLCS (at least def not as a starter). For that reason I can’t think of a worse Brewers team in the playoffs, maybe 2020? This wouldn’t feel like a missed opportunity, many of the years prior is when we really blew our shot at a WS.
  13. I think y'all are really overthinking the whole pitching situation. Why on earth would you not go with your starting pitching ace on normal rest? Literally the only starter we have even worth a darn. He should be starting as much as possible and as soon as possible, period. We have the perfect situation today. Our Ace and a rested back of the pen. Even better with an off day tomorrow so they can all be emptied out today carelessly. Actually, if Peralta implodes fast enough you could probably pull him today and have some emergency ability Saturday to use him. Bullpen game makes it seem like you are trying way too hard to plan for your Game 5 without any obvious gain.
  14. If we lose to the Cubs three games in a row we in fact did not have a shot at the World Series and were actually an okay team with an outlier historically hot streak.
  15. Sucks we didn’t get the sweep. Cubs haven’t played well and aren’t that talented compared to what is likely the Dodgers next. A sweep would have given me a bit more foolish optimism we could beat the Dodgers.
  16. I think that was kinda the problem, trying too hard to pull it to advance him in the worst case. Instead flailed at a bunch of stuff away from him.
  17. Counsell has extended this game 2 minutes already pausing the game to double check and confirm his guy was out by a mile.
  18. When your starter goes .2 innings…your bullpen arm selection is kinda doomed to be questionable.
  19. If anything, why not just do a full on suicide squeeze? Pitcher is absolutely hurting for strikes, he is likely getting a hell of a fastball over the plate or another awful pitch he fouls away.
  20. Packers drafting a WR 1st round hosting the draft is wild. lol
  21. We control Contreras till he is 29/30, it’s perfect…a dream. We don’t actually have to give him a contract extension so he is an overpaid player someday.
  22. Disclaimer: I’m not that old, I’m not a purist, I have zero issues with what can currently be challenged. I find ABS to be incredibly cringe and a hard watch. It’s just not enjoyable to me. While the video attached shows a blatant call, I also watched one where the batter was ‘right’ on a ball literally (with the naked eye) on the line of the strike zone. I could see this being a fine system if it was virtually instantaneous and automatically corrected blatant wrong calls. Like the one above where it is way out or a strike easily in the zone. My enjoyment following baseball has rapidly tanked in recent years and stuff like this makes me want to watch it even less. Ever since we got virtual strike zones everyone has become an expert umpire. It’s annoying and you can’t watch a game without people moaning about it. Half the time they are wrong and don’t even understand what a strike is (thinking at least half a ball needs to be over the plate etc.)
