5/1 Brewers (Peralta) vs. Cubs (Lester) - 1:20 pm CST (CSN)

[Guest]

It's funny that I'm more surprised when Ross gets a hit than someone like Herrera or any pitcher besides Lester.

 

which is a tad weird

 

you guys seem to think he's koyie hill or something.

 

His OPS vs. righties the last 2 years was lower than Koyie's career #s.

 

It's 150 PAs. I don't have much of a counter for you other than I think he's better than that (and a much more competent hitter than Koyie was). Or maybe he got old and he's actually as bad as those numbers. I don't know.

Very promising 2-2 take there

 

and jinxed

[Tryptamine]

That was a really bad 3-0 swing by Rizzo.

[CincyCubsFan]

C'mon rizzo...

[Schwarber Fan]

Me thinks 1 run isn't going to hold up.

[Tryptamine]

Can't believe they only have 1 run.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Me thinks 1 run isn't going to hold up.

 

Yeah, I have a bad feeling about this one. Made worse by the fact that our lineup is way better than theirs today and we aren't going to captalize on it.

There is no maybe about it. You know. He did get old. He is 38. Whatever he did in his late 20s and early 30s is pretty much meaningless now.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Jeezus...dbag Braun almost got that one out

The sample size and the peripherals say that's not as clear cut as you're saying.

 

Yes, there's a good chance that that's a big part of the explanation because of his age but there are a million potential reasons for those numbers, some of which are just noise.

How does the sample size suggest that is not clear?

 

He is 38. He is old. There is no getting around it.

Lester is cruising.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Lester is cruising.

 

It helps that the Brewers suck. I feel nervous about the missed opportunities the first 4 innings.

[Guest]

Enough david ross

 

it's dong time

[Guest]

dongless wonder

[Guest]

Just when I'm thinking that Castro's swing looks out of whack, he does that.

[Tryptamine]

This team is full of stupid today.

[PrimeTime]

Again?? [expletive]!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I hate aggressive baserunning so much.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Another out on the bases

[Careless]

*sigh*

[Guest]

damn. That's a good throw by Braun. I didn't think his arm was that good.

[rocket]

What the hell is going on

[Guest]

This team is full of stupid today.

How is that stupid when there's one out with Ross + Lester coming up?
