a lot of defensive putridity on the right side of the diamond there; so just hit it anywhere in that direction and enjoy the comedy

 

you could almost call the second baseman... Booter Gennett

[BigSlick]

I don't know who any of these Brewers hitters are save like Jonathan Lucroy

[Aaron_Kennelly]

That Brewers lineup is certainly uninspiring. Hopefully Hendricks can have a good night. And hopefully there are lots of dongs.

I got tickets for a minor league game tonight that involve free food and free beer. you can text me how this one is going, but you'll probably get a dick pic in return

This post juxtaposed with the one directly above it does not produce healthy images in my head

I know nothing about most of them, but there are only 3 that I had never heard of before.

The Brewers and the Braves right now are basically what would happen if there was a baseball strike and teams fielded scab teams

according to FiveThirtyEight's MLB game-by-game predictions, Cubs have a 66% chance of winning today.

I like the 91% chance they make the playoffs.

When they have Braun in the lineup I think they have an okay (probably league averageish, maybe a tick better) lineup.

if you expand the schedule, there's not a single game they're unfavorable (%) for... the only game(s) that come close is the 3-gamer @ the Dodgers late August, predicted at 50-50.

Who was that poster that was freaking out because of the backup catcher situation?

[Cubswin11]

It's a good thing we have the best catching prospect in baseball in case Montero needs to hit the DL

[Omar]

its like 2007 where we wanted Rob Bowen/Michael Barrett/Jason Kendall to get out of the way for Geovany Soto.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Yeah, it's also good that we are 14-5 despite Montero's 66 wRC+. Not even worried. If Montero hits the DL, let Ross handle the load for awhile, call up Federowicz for awhile. No sweat. We'll hardly notice it.

What? Hell no! It'll be Wilson Contreras, your table is ready sir. He's an immediate offensive upgrade to Montero.

If Montero needs a few weeks off, there is no reason to mess with Contreras's development and start his clock. We are 14-5 with an astronomical run differential. We are the best team in baseball. It's not that big of a deal to miss our second-worst starter for a few weeks.

[BigSlick]

I kinda suspected something was up with Montero because he was looking kinda helpless at the plate for a little while.
