8/6 Cubs(Hill) @ Astros(Rodriguez) 7:05 P.M. CT CSN

[E.J.]

Please throw a wild pitch. Please throw a wild pitch. Please throw a wild pitch.

[C.C.]

C'mon floyd give us a miracle.

[Careless]

if only theriot was a bit stronger.

[TMan92]

Ryan hit it hard. Stupid MMP.

[Magnetic Curses]

Fielder and Braun have gone deep tonight...

 

Fielder and Braun have a combined 52 HR.

 

To get to 53 HR for the Cubs you need to combine Soriano, Ramirez, Lee, and DeRosa.

 

 

The Cubs and Brewers both have 52 losses... The problem with the Brewers is that over 46% of their offense is homerun dependent.

 

home runs are a statistic largely devoid of luck. hitting w/risp isn't.

 

That's fine but when a team (like the Brewers) can't score many runs without the benefit of homeruns it isn't an advantage. As I said, both teams have 52 losses yet, the Brewers have hit 152 homeruns to the Cubs 88.

 

I'll take the 0.15 runs more a game they score.

 

It's obvious that they've needed them because their pitching staff isn't as good as the Cubs'. I'm not saying I wouldn't want the Cubs to hit more homers I just think using the Brewers as an example for so called Cubs deficiencies is silly. The both have 52 losses and the Cubs have played 2 fewer games.

 

were you out in the sun all day? because you aren't listening to reason, here.

 

i would love to have the brewers offense, it would mean an easy last 2 months of the season.

[Schwarber Fan]

Floyd?

 

So... EPatt moves to 2B and floyd plays LF?

[soccer10k]

Whew.

 

Let's win it in 10, boys.

 

You don't think Kendall is going to hit a walkoff home run? :wink:

 

:?:

 

Sorry, not a walkoff, a go-ahead home run.

 

still, what does that have to do with not winning it in 10?

 

KENDALL IS ON

 

Epatt bunt?

 

Because if Kendall hits a home run the Cubs could try to win it in 9.

 

It's the top of the 10th

 

:lol:

 

Huh. I could have swore Gameday said it was the top of the ninth. That's what I get for trying to follow along while covering a River Cats game.

[jjgman21]

fugly swing.

The Cubs and Brewers both have 52 losses... The problem with the Brewers is that over 46% of their offense is homerun dependent.

 

How's that a problem?

 

 

It's a problem because they aren't able to score enough runs, on most days, to win when they don't hit homers. It's not a well rounded offense.

 

The way some people are talking, the Brewers should have fewer loses and more wins. They've out homered the Cubs by 64 (and two players combine for 52).

I think what you are failing to grasp is that each HR equals at least 1 run. Being "well rounded" is a non-sequiter as is the number of losses each team has. Give me a team of HR hitters any day.

 

The 64 more homers they've hit haven't given them much of an advantage in the standings.

[C.C.]

That wasn't even close.

[Careless]

he missed that pitch by about 3 feet

[sherwood921]
