Cubs-Brewers Game One Thread, By The Numbers

Assad left off roster is a head scratcher -
Umps show up the players all the time. They also have a union that complete insulates them from any criticism. They can pound sand.
-
Umps were being snowflakes thinking that a batter tapping his helmet was a signal that the call was wrong
-
There was an ump early in the season who pre-warned both teams about not tapping their helmets during the game (or he would insta-toss them). He went on to miss 22 calls in that game and over 1200 for the season
-
Of course! Jamo would probably be starting Game 1 on Saturday had Horton been available last series
-
Had Horton been healthy, he would have already pitched in the SD series, so we would be getting just the one LDS start out of him regardless
-
Miller's effectiveness is, in part, that hitters have to either sell out on 103 or sit back on 87, but can't, in real time, adjust to both. And if they can't even catch up to 103 to start with, they are toast before the at bat starts
-
I feel like the Mason Miller approach is best. 100+ fastball vs a high-80's slider. I don't get the "everything is thrown top velocity" idea. Why is a 90mph curve more effective than a 79 mph curve? Isn't the greater difference in velocity best for keeping hitters off balance? Or is that a 90mph pitch isn't expected to move that much?
-
Counsell is going to ride his starting hitters all postseason long. I think guys like Castro or Mo are rarely (if ever) going to see playing time. Swapping a bat for an arm makes perfect sense
-
Yankees pitcher's name is fraught on several levels
-
Keller's worst inning of the year
-
If that Boegarts call went against us late in a game I would be LIVID
-
Made an All-Star look like a minor leaguer right there
-
Just put up a 10 spot in the 1st and coast to victory
-
I'm already tired of the 'he should've walked Machado" narrative. When you score zero runs, none of that matters.
-
What a great time to turn the game on
-
I managed to see most of yesterday's game. Might be able to catch the last few innings of today's (unless it's another quick 2-1 type of game)
-
In retrospect, it was all I deserved
-
It was a tournament. I didn't win I didn't win the first round
-
Oh, we did that years ago.....
-
Happ hit it hard, but bad luck. Ugh
-
Doing our best Brewers impersonation with these seeing eye singles
-
Is this Ben McDonald's first day as a broadcaster? My goodness is he bad
