Couldn’t figure out how ‘live’ it was. Could be right. Rockies won at least. 

The thing I don’t know is how it accounts for tiebreakers. Like right now is it incorporating the fact that the Cubs are probably losing the tiebreaker, or does it just understand that no tiebreaker has been clinched yet regardless of whether the season series is 2-2 or 3-1. If it’s the latter I’d expect the number to plummet bc all the sudden the Cubs have 3 teams within 2 games of them and they all own the tiebreaker 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why is Boog amazed that hitting a 3 run home run significantly increases a team's odds of winning?

[UMFan83]

The Cubs were *so close* to getting their first runner to 2B but Nico swung at a pitch a foot low and outside that would have been ball 4. So close!

I think he’s trying to get fired honestly. He’s been on a roll tonight

I don’t know how you define ‘plummet’ but being ahead of those three teams and there being two spots available still, mathematically, puts you in a pretty good spot.

I mean plummet relative to their present position. Obviously not going to like 40%. But I could see it dropping to the mid to upper 60s. Today was a very damaging day for the Cubs.  They are still in a solid position on paper but baseball isn’t played on paper

I think often he tries to make more out of statistics than what is actually there. Not everything has to be meaningful.  You can certainly understand how some people get turned off by his shtick.

Cardinals down 1 2 outs in the 9th bases loaded for Nootbaar.

He has hit a few balls hard right handed lately. So he has that going for him, which is nice.

you’re just mad because you want to be negative now like me but you can’t 

Nope, just pointing out that you suck.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Good Kyle vs. Bad Kyle tomorrow.  If the Cubs lose that one, things are going to begin to look bleak.

[UMFan83]

And there’s your 3 runs to make it look like it wasn’t a miserable dominant performance. Where was this horsefeathers all night

[itisallpartoftheplan]

2 more bloops and a blast

Happy for you that the cubs royally sucked tonight so you could post your little ‘gotcha’ tonight 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

At least we made them burn their closer.

[UMFan83]

Maybe this can be one of those things where they feel good getting some bits and it carries over to tomorrow. 
 

im trying here. Really trying

Yes. Although as closers go, Paul Sewald doesn't scare me.

[UMFan83]

And another HR

[Irrelevant Dude]

Well this is interesting.
