  1. I'd like to think that Kyle Schwarber's hissy fit to Amir Garrett was the turning point of the Cubs' season.
  2. I hope they dont hang another wild card flag out there if we go one and done. I was thinking the same the other day. Celebrating making the playoffs is cool, but hanging a banner for a 1 game playoff that you didn't win feels pretty tacky. It sounds moderately better if you at least win the game and lose the NLDS.
  3. A Nationals/Brewers NL Wild Card game is looking almost inevitable, isn't it? Just a matter of where.
  4. If they find a way to blow this game...up 4-0 in the 7th with the bases loaded and nobody out at home against a team playing out the string...
  5. Peralta was better than his line will say.
  6. Come on Arcia. That was little league.
  7. I didn't see it, but if it was egregious and ends up being the only hit, they can change it after the fact.
  8. We don't know that they will even have Woodruff in a traditional starting role in the playoffs. They may be setting him up to be a 40 pitch 2-3 inning guy like last year's playoffs.
  9. I hate the overrated chant. All you're doing is downplaying your own win.
  10. Well the Marlins screwed that up spectacularly.
  11. I saw he got shafted again the other day when Pipeline released an updated top 100 and they had one last chance to fix that mistake.
  12. I'm thinking that bullpen party area.
  13. I like leaving Hiura in the game here. Not going to work on that glove by hiding it after the 6th inning every night.
  14. If we finish with the exact same record as the Nats, they come to Miller Park, right? We won the head to head season series.
  15. Their bullpen is awful, but their rotation is scary good. They could go with any kind of combination of Scherzer/Strasburg/Corbin. I would guess they will try to ensure at least 2 of the 3 are available for a wild card game. Doesn't mean they will use them, but if they need to they will.
  16. Look at it this way.... We traded Thornburg for Shaw and Dubon and Pennington, and we traded Dubon for Pom and Black. If we get NOTHING for Shaw, that trade was still a huge win. Well we also got 2 years of a really good Travis Shaw. That was still the biggest value in the trade so far. It's hard to believe what has happened to him this year.
  17. This young one should do the batting introductions every game. Girl is a pro.
  18. I'm curious as to how much Washington will prioritize the WC1 if both teams are close down to the wire. Do they go all out to ensure they get the home game, or is it just about getting in to them? I tend to think as long as they go into the last series of the season with a playoff spot secured, they will prioritize rest for their top arms (Scherzer, Corbin, etc.) first and worry about the #1 seed second.
  19. So why is he here now playing every day then? The situation hasn't changed. He's the exact same player now as he was in June and Shaw is still just as unplayable. The question is simply whether the good outweighs the bad, and it does. Edit: As I said.
  20. That made me nervous. I thought it was 4-0 Bucs off the bat.
  21. I wanted the Cubs to win but you just can't make this stuff up.
  22. Huge swing when it looked like the Cards were going to blow it open in the 4th, Goldschmidt grounded into a double play with the bases loaded and then Happ tied it with a 2 run HR. If the Cubs win this game and end up making the playoffs, that's a turning point in their season.
  23. Knowing only what you know now, would you predict that the following gets us into the playoffs? We lose at OSU, but win every game besides that one the rest of the season, including beating OSU in the conference championship.
  24. Trouble with this scenario is that the Cardinals almost assuredly have everything clinched heading into their final series against the Cubs and will be trotting out their AAA rosters for 3 games. They would have to extend their lead on us. 3 game lead means they still gotta play serious at least the first game. If we narrow it to two games then they have to play serious every game except the last. I also don’t think it is a given the Cubs sweep anyone at this point...they are struggling a lot. Right, but if we lost 2 out of 3 to the Reds that would be pretty likely. That's what I was assuming under his scenario, that we go 1 of 3 in Cincy. The Reds are tough to figure out. I could see us sweeping easily or even getting swept. They're not the Pirates, but they can vary widely on either end of the spectrum. Hopefully we can get 2 out of 3.
  25. No, way. Biggest disappointment has got to be Aguilar or Shaw. Probably Shaw as no one would have ever guessed he would go from one of the better 3B to can’t hit anything period. Burnes was a young pitcher with little track record. Him struggling isn’t a huge shock. Big disappointment, but I think a slugger falling off the map completely at 29 was bigger. Though I understand some had crazy expectation for Burnes. I mean sure, Shaw makes sense. I wouldn't say Aguilar. Burnes pitching wise has to be near the top. I guess my point was it's not Peralta, but he nailed everything else at least subjectively. Even Peralta judging by many predictions here was certainly a disappointment to many and high on the list.
