    Funny, Sproat might actually cost them a game
  2. Jopal78
    Jeff Juden all over again.
  3. Jopal78
    Not even a million dollar arm. He has no idea where it’s going when it leaves his hand.
  4. Jopal78
    This inning is probably it. Over 33 pitches this inning
  5. Jopal78
    Of course. Henderson might not make it to 5 innings at this rate.
  6. Jopal78
    They pitched their long man last night in Civale so he’s gotta suck it up. Probably goes out for the 4th too

    Brett Bateman a CFer who’s in the majors for Toronto already plus someone else

    Golly, on Marquee the Cubs are talking about 2 guys both coming back from their second Tommy John (Steele, Shelby Miller) as potential bullpen additions. That’s how you know they’re scared about their bullpen
  9. Jopal78
    Best defense doesn’t include pitching. They have 2 SPs with a FIP below 4.40 and Gausman might not be in that group after tonight.

    Interesting lineup tonight, with Frelick in the 6 hole and Bauers and Lara on the bench against a right hander. Frelick still must be washing Murphy’s car to get so much PT
  11. Jopal78
    He has a .546 winning percentage with the Cubs, which over the last 3 years would place him behind only Roberts, Murphy and Boone. Hard to credibly argue he hasn’t been successful. Where you’re spot on though are expectations. Counsell was brought in to manage teams to pennants, and he knows he’s got a leaky bullpen and an offense that struggles to consistently convert runners on base into runs when the home runs, don’t come. Those are the reasons he’s probably pacing in the dugout.
  12. Jopal78
    Cut him some slack. With three weeks yet to go he’s appeared in as many games already and pitched more innings than he did in the regular and postseason in 2026 combined. The 16 games in a row is what might keep the Brewers from the #1 spot in the NL

    Pitching staff sputtering to the finish line
  14. Jopal78
    Don’t get me started on replay either. It’s equally stupid. Just have all the close plays be confirmed by video. It’s what the NFL and FIFA the two biggest leagues in the world have done for years. The challenge system, Ohntani rule, etc. are all MLB’s knee jerk attempts to ruin their game in order to satisfy the sports media echo chamber.
  15. Jopal78
    It is minuscule. Where the team most likely to win turned a pitch being called a strike when it was a ball or vice versa is probably less than 1%. Over 162 games it didn’t impact any team’s finish. But the sports echo chamber insisted it was a problem, and now they have a goofy system where the technology to call balls and strikes instantly exists and they still use humans to do it, and dare teams to call them wrong.
  16. Jopal78
    If it’s the same for both sides, what difference does it make? That’s the problem with ABS it addresses an alleged problem but in reality had a minuscule impact on games, and the solution created a competitive advantage for teams that are good at using challenges.
  17. Jopal78
    If they call a large strike zone or small strike zone consistently for both sides who cares? The current system is just dumb and hardly any of the pitches challenged are outcome determinative. It’s more knee jerk garbage from MLB to ruin the game.
  18. Jopal78
    Sure looks like the Brewers staff finally ran out of gas on August 31st. Since then it seems their starting pitcher either gets pounded or is out of the game before 5 innings just taxing and taxing the bullpen.
  19. Jopal78
    I disagree. It’s dumb and they should get rid of it. Or have all balls and strikes called automatically

    This is the same as when you were upset they traded Joey Wiemer. As of right now they gave up some low minor league players who are at best a 50/50 shot to even see significant time in the majors. They didn’t get anything great for Joey Wiemer, but his subsequent play wasn’t nothing either.
  22. Jopal78
    Every manager has their guys. Who could forget Counsell’s thing for Sogard and Jace Peterson. I don’t think it’s unique to managers. It just seems when those players then fail it is more visible.
  23. Jopal78
    Again, it’s the hyperbole. Koenig and Kuhnel eat innings? They both missed huge chunks of time with arm injuries and were ineffective when they returned to health. Sproat didn’t see the 5th inning in the majority of his starts. It’s dumb and cliche but Counsell wasn’t wrong when he called them out getters. May, Senzetela and Romero aren’t sexy but their unquestionably more reliable out getters than anyone you just cited.
  24. Jopal78
    Like I said, you can’t have the prospect love and also expect to bring in a bunch of difference makers at the deadline. They’re mutually exclusive. Now if you think they should’ve stood pat and maybe burned out all their arm in the process, thats a fair point, but you’re a more sophisticated fan than that so I chalk it up to hyperbole
  25. Jopal78
    Haha, I looked at his stats earlier today. Nearly 6 BB/9. Has yet to throw a clean inning in the majors… pass
