  1. By no means is this an insurmountable score, but you’ve got to start getting something going offensively, can’t continue to have all these unremarkable ABs with runners on.
  2. PCA bunting with 2 strikes. I don’t have a lot of faith in us winning this, but maybe the Cubs can stupid their way to a loss.
  3. Murph, just want to say thanks again for the big changes to the lineup that scored 16 runs in games 1 and 2. Great call.
  4. Had that in both the 1st and 2nd. Doesn’t mean a thing when you follow it up with bad ABs.
  5. No doubt. We’ll all be back to suffer the same fate in a different way next year.
  6. I’m just going to say something a lot of people won’t agree with. That fun little run in July and August doesn’t mean jack crap if we go on to lose this series.
  7. I’ve never felt this pessimistic in a series that we were leading 2-1.
  8. God: “Yeah, blowing a 9th inning lead against the Mets in the Wild Card was fun, but how about having them piss away a 2-0 series lead in the NLDS against their most hated rivals?”
  9. Not at all the start we needed. Didn’t get much going and didn’t make Boyd work much for it.
  10. Is Gameday off? According to that, Yelich walked on 6 strikes. nevermind, now it changed them.
  11. Yeah let’s be honest about the 3 runs yesterday — we earned 2, and 1 was a complete fluke.
  12. I don’t have any major issues with the lineup, but Yelich leading off didn’t work in September and it didn’t work yesterday, and now we have him leading off against a lefty. The lineups from Games 1 and 2 scored 16 runs so we start shaking it up. I just don’t get it.
  13. I mean, he’s not 0 for the series, but we could really use him stepping up. He could have put the game away in the 8th last night. That was a really bad AB after Chourio’s leadoff double and that kind of set the table for extinguishing our last run.
  14. Not if you start wildly thrashing on the ground after one hitter, screaming and clutching your arm.
  15. Agreed. I get the concept behind the opener but I would rather have Ashby available for tight spots later in the game.
  16. Honest question — if we lose tonight, where is everyone going to be on the spectrum of “we still got this” on one side to “we’re screwed” on the opposite side?
  17. It would have been really nice to have Hoskins up in the 9th yesterday. We could have PH for both Mona and Perkins. Probably nothing would have came out of it, but it would have been a better chance than we had with Blake. I really don’t get Lockridge over Hoskins. There’s already six guys on the roster without Lockridge who can play the OF. I get that the baserunning is nice to have but a possible late inning pinch runner role is not reason enough to carry a guy on a playoff roster.
  18. I look at it this way. To keep this from going 5, you need to win in a hostile environment, in a playoff game. That is going to be tough for most pitchers, and some, very tough. I would rather trust our staff ace and 8 year veteran who has been in all these situations before, for that task, than a random collection of mostly young relievers. And if we have to go to those guys, I’d rather do it at home where they can be more comfortable. Miz, for example, was effective at home, though it was dicey at first. Does anyone really have any faith that Miz, if called upon for a couple innings tonight at Wrigley, isn’t going to completely lose it?
  19. Peralta for his career does fine on extra rest, even better than normal rest, so he’s not a pitcher that absolutely needs to be on normal rest. He, like most pitchers, is better at home than on the road, but not by a huge margin. I think an argument can be made either way. My inclination would be to pitch Peralta today and go with your best lineup that gives you the best opportunity to score runs. My main train of thought is to do whatever we need to do to win this game. If you think that’s Peralta, then use him. If not, then go with a bullpen game. But the main driver should be whatever gives us the best chance to win today. Not “what are we going to do for Game 5 if we don’t win today?” Forget about game 5. Win today.
  20. Or Bauers. If it’s Boyd tomorrow, there’s no need to get Bauers in the lineup.
