This is typically a 2 run inning for us coming up.
-
Well. It is indeed turning, in the opposite direction from last night.
-
No way. We have like a 99.9999999999% chance of making the playoffs. They should make the playoffs, but the Cards are more on our heels for WC1 than we would like to think. If tonight holds up and no one gains ground tomorrow, we go into St. Louis up 2 on them. Takes nothing more than them winning the series against us in St. Louis to both make it 1 and gain the tiebreaker, and if that happens, the Cubs have absolutely nothing to play for in their 3 game series against the Cardinals to finish the season, needing only to gain 1 game.
-
Pina would have kept that one in front of him.
-
So much for a short night for Williams. This offense has no clue against him.
-
Cubs blowing it open against the White Sox. Better rally here tonight if they want to stay in the division race. Can't continue to give back the ground you gain if you're going to stay in the race at this point.
-
I know Rock makes it sound too easy, but chances are he fouls it off or hits it hard back to pitcher, something not positive. If it were as easy as Bill makes it sound I would hope we would take 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Thames doesn't strike me as an accomplished bunter.
-
Thames and Saladino clearly have a bet going on who can tank worse in September.
-
Moose looked silly up there. Both those pitches were strikes.
-
Bad decision by Moose. Bad pitch by Davies. Bad defense by Braun allows another run. Just a bad inning. You can't have 2 out and the pitcher coming up and allow this to happen.
-
Braun is hitting .200 in September. I could stand to see Santana get a few starts for him.
-
I like Granderson a lot, but I like him a lot better in a supporting role rather than leading off and starting every day. Hopefully Cain returns tomorrow.
-
Didn't Gioloto used to be a top prospect? Dude has been terrible.
-
Sac flies do not count as ABs. Except if you're calulating OBP. So if a guy comes to the plate 4 times in a day, hits 2 sac flies, strikes out once and gets a single, he has a .500 batting average and .250 OBP. They're a weird one like that. A sacrifice is like a walk. Doesn’t count as an AB, but does count as a plate appearance. Except sacrifices count negatively against your OBP. Walks and HBP count positively for it.
-
I thought it was probably unnecessary to go more than 1 inning with Hader, and I would have liked to save someone like Knebel from going. I'm not mad about it or anything, just probably would have used the chance to get a guy like Williams or Woodruff some work at least with a short leash rather than using every good arm in the pen with a big lead.

Good research. Thanks.

2018 Standings and Playoff Race Discussion
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The last series of the year, Cubs/Cardinals is going to be a total catch-22 for us. If we continue to win and threaten the Cubs, the Cardinals are likely to have nothing to play for against the Cubs in the last 3 games and will rest, and the Cubs will still have a lot to play for. If we taper off, the Cardinals will be threatening us and have a lot to play for in that last series, while the Cubs will likely have nothing to play for and will rest. Need Colorado to start putting some heat on the Cards. -
No, I just am curious, and I don't think that's a fair assumption to make. For example if he said "He's still a little banged up" or "We want to keep him fresh for October" I would find those to be acceptable answers. Weren't you one that was incredulous as to why Villar suddenly wasn't playing? People have questions about moves that seem contrary to conventional wisdom. No big deal.
-
I am absolutely a pro-union guy, but yeah, it really blows that every night umpires make this game about themselves and nothing whatsoever is done about it.
-
Not sure what metric you are referring to. Pina is superior in just about every possible statistical measurement. It just seems like a fair question to me. Plenty of people were asking for answers when Villar all of the sudden found himself on the bench nearly every night despite being the clear best statistical option at 2nd at the time.
-
I distinctly remember Estrada one time not scoring from 2nd on a double.
-
Nothing wrong with being happy for Kratz, good dude and he crushed that one, but some of the other "I told you so's" on this page seem odd. Pina did have a HR of his own after a 13 pitch battle last start and as we all know can do the same things and more defensively.
-
Still using Hader anyway?
-
This inning...!
