Underachiever

Cubs had some losses overturned. Magic number is back to 1

Cross Globe Life off of my list. Glad the roof was closed because it was 100 degrees in Dallas yesterday, but it felt like a shopping mall with a baseball diamond.

Found the FanGraphs guy

You need to try harder. Find something!

Reds getting outscored 34-1 in their last two really puts a dent in the ol’ run differential

The Brewers are 121 games under .500. I have been tracking their progress toward .500 for a few years now (I'm not counting the Pilots year). The last time they were 121 games under .500 was near the end of the 1995 season. Steve Sparks got the win. I hope that next year they get to fewer than 100 games below .500 for the first time since 1993. Since they hit their low mark of 329 games under on August 30, 2016 (Cory Knebel took the loss in 10 innings against STL), they've been steadily climbing. This organization has never been above .500. They were 3-3 in the first six games of their history. That is as close as they have gotten.

I've been doing a major deck project for the past few weeks, so any day baseball has been greatly appreciated. I will be listening to the Cubs game for sure.

I never said which August.

Damn, you guys are salty

We are all FanGraphs. SMH.

He pitched like crap is my guess. Just don’t punch anything, Abner

Russian nesting doll version

Had quite a time at the park last night. I was in full crabby ***** mode. When Mitchell had his crappy at bats, when Lara took two backward ks, when they started the game with two double plays, when Chourio got tagged out at home, when Aaron Freaking Civale strikes out the first four batters he faces and gets 6 outs on 25 pitches (while Megill also threw 25 pitches and only got one out), Carson Kelly, of all people, doubles after Ramirez gets a 70-foot single, and I was disappointed in my hot dog. All of this with Cub fans sitting immediately to my left, in front of me, and behind me. I can't remember a game that was so miserable for 26 outs changing so quickly for the better since Contreras walked off the Marlins in July (another game I was at). Now I feel like the sweep is gonna happen.

When discussing potential playoff opponents, I feel like Vizzini choosing which chalice has the iocane powder in Princess Bride. "The Dodgers swept the Brewers in four last year, so clearly I can't choose them. The Cubs would be excruciating to lose to, so they are not to be trifled with. The Padres seem like a bad matchup and have real superstars, so obviously we can't play them. Phillies have great starting pitching, so we cannot play them. And I can't forget how Atlanta shut Milwaukee down in the playoffs, so the Brewers definitely don't want them. And we know to never get involved in a land war in the desert, so we clearly cannot play the DBacks." And we all know how it ended for Vizzini.

Probably more accurate to look for a guy who swallowed a barrel
