Appears that Murphy has abandoned the soft platoon at 3rd and decided that Seigler is strictly a bench guy.
Of course, Littell has pretty neutral splits, even slightly reverse, so maybe that’s all it is.
I see no reason to concern ourselves with the Cubs’ day to day performance anymore. We are 8.5 games up. We got this. If not, if we blow that lead, we’ll have bigger problems than the Cubs.
Won’t keep winning at a .800+ clip, but play out the rest of the season to our capabilities and we’ll be the 1 seed.
He’s going to be great, but he still has more work to do.
He’s going to be a fun guy to have moving forward. I have no illusions of him being a contributor for us in the playoffs this year.
Yeah, he won’t be close. He had a great night. Part of the beauty of the makeup of this team is that we don’t really have a legitimate star, and any of the guys could be our best guy on any given night.
I’m all about calling out umps for bad performance. But I’m more about doing it on egregiously bad calls — to me these ones split hairs — pitches like this will be 50/50 until the robots are here (which can’t happen soon enough).
You guys won’t believe this (or maybe you will after the last month and a half), but the oft-maligned Brewers’ offense in the 1st half of the season, are currently, at this moment, the #1 offense in MLB in runs scored.
