8/14/18 Cubs(Quintana) vs Brewers(Chacin) 1:20PM NBCS Chicago

He and Lester might as well be pitching machines at this point.

 

And here I was actually looking forward to seeing Quintana start one of the games I'm seeing in Pittsburgh because I figured he'd have a good outing today.

is the wind blowing out like crazy or anything?

 

not that braun's second dong sounded like it needed any help

Every ball hit would have gone out in a hurricane.

Again, if it was another team having to constantly come from behind despite their season totals, that's what we'd be hearing about how they're not really as impressive as they seem. If it was another team that has had their RD just completely dive into the basement like the Cubs' has then that would the reason they're actually vulnerable once they hit the playoffs.

 

this would not be what i'd say once they hit the playoffs

 

come on now

 

because nothing actually matters once they hit the playoffs

 

The fact that we will be in the wild card game matters

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I really miss eloy

Running sample size into the ground and through the horsefeathering planet to the point that it becomes some sort of meaningless baseball crypto-nihilism long stopped meaning dick a long time ago.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The worat part is that Quintana is still probably the guy I have like the 3rd most faith in

[TMan92]

"Hey Eloy, You up?"

 

Part of me thinks that Jimenez will come up for our series on the South Side and hit like 6 home runs.

Quintana sucks man. What a terrible trade.

[stitchface]

5 runs will never win this game

[TMan92]

5 runs will never win this game

 

The brewers will score 10

[TMan92]

Fat piece of horsefeathers

[imb]

5 runs will never win this game

 

yeah brewers should be able to tack on a half dozen more or so

[Schwarber Fan]

Unbelievable that anyone doesn’t beat that out.

[stitchface]

eeyore

[The_Achiever]

Q has been such a disappointment this year.

 

And where the horsefeathers is Jim Hickey? Totally worthless.

[UMFan83]

Anyone have any more stats that show that Quintana has actually been solid and mostly what we paid for?

[TMan92]

What more of a meatball do you want Javy. Twice.

[Brian]

is now a good time to point out Javy hasn't gotten a hit in like a week?

[profisme]

What a terrible horsefeathering at bat.

[UMFan83]

Yes I know don’t post this guy. I can’t help myself

i knew exactly who liked this post before i looked at it, lol

 

if you guys want to pretend there's anything to predicting the playoffs or that matchups actually somehow matter when they clearly don't, go nuts, i guess. it's not crypto-nihilism. it's reality. an extreme behemoth like the red sox has like a ~5% better chance at it than whatever crappy wild card team manages to get past the one game gauntlet in the NL.

 

so, yeah, like i said, even if the cubs look like a paper tiger after 162, i won't be pointing at that as why they're "vulnerable in the playoffs," which was the reason for this dumb tangent.

[David]

Yes I know don’t post this guy. I can’t help myself

 

 

and he's only like 10% more insane than a few of the regulars here

 

 

IS IT OK FOR ME TO POST THIS WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE CUBS HAVE *ACTUALLY* NOT BEEN PLAYING WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS?
