We caught a break. This inning is crazy. LOL

It's probably just bonus coverage because of the rain delay in Chicago.
-
I'm definitely rooting against the Cardinals. Come on Penny!

Right now, the Cubs are on pace to win approximately 85.6 games based on PECOTA projections (the brewers pace is 85.5). 5 more wins isn't inconceivable if they are able to have a prolonged winning streak again. Link

This game IS on MLB.TV. Astros feed. -
Hmmm, what happened to the A's good pitching? The Oakland and San Diego staffs both giving up the goods today.

8/7 Cubs (Marshall) @ Astros (Williams) 7:05 PM CSN
98navigator replied to Jazz's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Crap, he's only allowed 2 runs both times he's faced us (4/9 & 6/11) but he didn't get the win either time. After their bullpen surrendered an unearned run to tie the game at 3, Howry gave up the lead in the first game (and got the loss by giving up a 2 run homer to Everett. Definitely a game to forget) and Z won the second matchup with 8 innings of 1 run ball. He also homered to win 2-1. This guy is due to get blasted by the Cubs. -

Well, Williams is a righty so that should be good for a few runs boys! Get the win. -
I agree but when the Cubs lose it makes me feel better than the alternative.
-
Rockies win!

Just one of many in this horrible season. LOL, horrible season? There must be a 2006 time warp I'm unaware of. ;)

The Cubs and Brewers both have 52 losses... The problem with the Brewers is that over 46% of their offense is homerun dependent. How's that a problem? It's a problem because they aren't able to score enough runs, on most days, to win when they don't hit homers. It's not a well rounded offense. The way some people are talking, the Brewers should have fewer loses and more wins. They've out homered the Cubs by 64 (and two players combine for 52). I think what you are failing to grasp is that each HR equals at least 1 run. Being "well rounded" is a non-sequiter as is the number of losses each team has. Give me a team of HR hitters any day. The 64 more homers they've hit haven't given them much of an advantage in the standings. neither has the 58 less runs we've given up. please quit or find a better argument. Disagree! The 58 fewer runs has helped to offset the offense not scoring 64 more homers.

The person used the Brewers as an example because he was using specific players. Tell me you wouldn't rather have Braun and Fielder's production on this team. That's not the point I'm making; I'm not looking at it theoretically. Yes, I'd like that kind of power from two Cubs players but looking at it the way things currently stand between the teams I don't see the extra homers that the Brewers hit as an advantage. It looks to me like they've needed just about every one of them to maintain their one game lead. I fully understand that if the Cubs had 152 homers they'd probably be leading the division by several games but, as things stand they are tied in losses. Yuck, that sucks

The Cubs and Brewers both have 52 losses... The problem with the Brewers is that over 46% of their offense is homerun dependent. home runs are a statistic largely devoid of luck. hitting w/risp isn't. That's fine but when a team (like the Brewers) can't score many runs without the benefit of homeruns it isn't an advantage. As I said, both teams have 52 losses yet, the Brewers have hit 152 homeruns to the Cubs 88. I'll take the 0.15 runs more a game they score. It's obvious that they've needed them because their pitching staff isn't as good as the Cubs'. I'm not saying I wouldn't want the Cubs to hit more homers I just think using the Brewers as an example for so called Cubs deficiencies is silly. The both have 52 losses and the Cubs have played 2 fewer games. were you out in the sun all day? because you aren't listening to reason, here. i would love to have the brewers offense, it would mean an easy last 2 months of the season. nice insult. No, I wasn't

As I said, both teams have 52 losses yet, the Brewers have hit 152 homeruns to the Cubs 88. and the brewers have scored a significant amount more runs than the cubs have, what's your point? Yes, but obviously it doesn't tell the real story of their offense because they have the same number of losses as the Cubs and have played 2 more games (thus they have 2 more wins). It's obvious that they have had more lopsided victories but a win is a win (whether by 10 runs or 1 run). once again, you've completely forgotten about pitching. Once again? I've already pointed out that their pitching isn't as good as the Cubs.
