Why do NL pitchers ever throw Baez a hittable fastball?
-
Here comes the K, slider away
-
He's hurt no question, anything is a bonus.
-
got to see how the offense looks first If I'm a Cub hitter and some of those pitches that were balls in the top of the first all of sudden become strikes I'm all over the umpire. The least one can ask of any umpire is consistency. And there you go the first horsefeathering pitch.

Hope the Cubs are paying attention - take, take, take - unless its down the middle of the plate it's not a strike

MLB Tonight crew was doing the same I felt. Kyle Freeland is Madbum, David Dahl is the most dangerous 7th hitter ever, etc etc. Irritating, maybe not surprising given the Cubs looked pathetic yesterday.
-
Of course I'm bias but, does it sound as if the ESPN staff is creaming in their pants for the Rockies?
-
that's not how regression to the mean works I’ll allow it.gif Perhaps, saying the hitters who got collectivey hot will go collectively cold is a bit much, I agree. By the way how does regression to the mean work?

Should the Cubs manage to win perhaps, playing the Brewers again isn't the worst outcome. Yelich' hitting .400, .536, .880, 1.416 over the last 28 games, .370, .508, .804, 1.313, maybe he's that good however, its more probable there's going to be a large regression to the mean. Case in point, Daniel Murphy, 2015, NLCS, hottest hitter in history goes 3 - 20 in the WS. Haven't looked it up because Yelich really stands out but, I suspect there's other Brewer hitters due for a regression to the mean as well. It's going to happen at some point. Given the Cubs on again, off again offense there's also a chance it'll click for a series of course, that means it'll probably go back into the tank for the NLCS.

Keeping up with the theme of 2018 season I expect a 11-2 Cubs win or a = 2> - 1 Cubs loss with Bote getting their first hit in the 6th.
-
im actually not meaning to criticize the cubs because 95 wins is like ... what can you even say? I would have taken that with a healthy team. It's just the constant "well here's the thing, the cubs are good and the brewers are actually bad. ok they're not bad but they aren't good. ok they're good now but they're not real good and we're better. ok actually now we got 2 hit at home and lost the division OK NOW THEY"RE BETTER THAN WE ARE SORRY GUYS" that's obnoxious and wrong. i mean a pretty good player became prime barry bonds for the past month what the hell can we do Happens all the time in baseball, mistake is counting on it to happen again, Yelich' a very good baseball player. However, expecting him to keep up this recent pace is far fetched. Maybe he is this good but, there's a better chance he's not.
-
that's super good looking at 2019, especially if they sign harper or machado. unfortunately it does us no good right now despite the fact that everyone said the same horsefeathers last year (oh we'll just sign a starter and a bullpen guy and then we'll get heyward fixed and we're all good.) Bryant didn't need any fixing ala Heyward, he was also on his way to a damn good season until he got hit in the head.
-
For one Kris Bryant has been a shadow of himself, still playing hurt, that alone made a big difference. As Brewer fan you want to count on that happening again along with Cain and Aguilar playing out of their minds next season? Both will regress next season.
-
it's pretty clear the brewers are never losing again They’re going on a 2007 Rockies run. And like Colorado they'll get stomped in the WS.
-
it's pretty clear the brewers are never losing again Let have their fun, should they make the WS don't think they'll have much of a chance against the AL.
-
Don't have a chance in hell tomorrow Dodgers' pitching >>>>>>> Brewers pitching along with the Cubs going in their patented offensive slide.
-
Have we not seen this trend all season - come off a series scoring quite a few run only to go into an offensive funk?
-
For certain, ball game over.
-
Looks like the Brewers are getting the weak, feeble, make a little league pitcher look like Clayton Kershaw (regular season version) Cubs offense today. Lucky them.

9/28 beer guys vs really big cats
gflore34 replied to Tim's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
What night was it that they took the lead in the 8th owhen Norris tried to pick Moose off of first and a run scored from 3rd after the throw hit Moose? That was Monday. Thames was on third after the Martinez horsefeathers up. The VBs have a [expletive] horse show up their ass this week. For whatever reason, call it karma, that horsefeathers has a nasty way of evening out over the course of season. Seems to usually catch up to a team in the playoffs. -
Although I'm not expecting much in the playoffs, given this fucked up season, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. We've seen good teams struggle through the regular season only to put it together in the post season.

9/27 Cubs (Lester) vs Pirates (Williams) 7:05 NBCSCH
gflore34 replied to Andy's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Don't the Cubs have some kind of reverse polarity with the opponent' aces? They'll crush the ace but, make mediocre to bad pitchers look like aces? -
This season some things went right but, a whole horsefeathers-ton of things went wrong, I'm not expecting much of them in the playoffs. But, when you consider the whole lot of things that went wrong and the Cubs may still end up with the best record in the NL it's remarkable. Let's remove the Brewers' best player, number 1 or 2 starter, along with their closer and see how they fare.

9/26 Cubs (Quintana) vs Pirates (Nova) 7:05 NBCSCH

Hell, I can't wait for next year; I'm tired of this broken down mess of a season, and I'm thinking it's gonna get a bug up the FO's butt to go nuts in this offseason. No screwing around with cutesy project players or wack-ass platoons. Me too, this under-performance, bad luck, injury bs seems cyclic to me, it's going to be fun watching the Cubs blow away the NL Central while the Brewers deal with bad luck, injuries, under-performing players and elevated expectations.
