    Just finished a stretch where we had 24 home games and 8 road games (5 of them being in Milwaukee or the Cell). Went 24-8. That's what I call taking advantage of the schedule. Now we finish the season with 25 of our last 38 on the road.

    Byproduct of having such predictable pitch selection? I was thinking that, could be it. Either way, for the most part they are still always late on it, its not like they are putting them in play or even necessarily timing him better.

    This is a matchup you dream about during those cold winter nights. Nieuwenheis vs. Chapman, tying run on deck. Which unstoppable force bends?
  4. UMFan83
    For someone who has this ridiculous 101-105 MPH heater, Chapman seems to get into a lot of ABs where it takes him forever to put the guy away with a lot of foul offs. Not necessarily complaining, its just something that has surprised me.

    If he goes yard here he will be one base short of his awesome game in Cincy

    What kind of Willson Contreras wannabe is that out there for the Brewers?
  7. UMFan83
    Please do not hit into a double play here scissors so Bryant gets another AB
  8. UMFan83
    I guess its possible. But my guess is Joe was trying to save everyone for Coors Field next. Yep, especially with another spot start game on Saturday with Montgomery/Cahill.
  9. UMFan83
    We were due for a game like this. Hopefully we escape with a win

    Guess Rondon is getting a day off or his triceps are hurting again.
  11. UMFan83
    horsefeathering hell how does this guy keep doing it? This is now more insane than Billy Hamilton's performance against us

    To go along with his multiple Kris Bryant games last year (the two I'm thinking of are the July 4th game against the Marlins where he hit a 2 run bomb and grand slam in the first 2 innings of the game and the GW HR against the Rockies game that is the single tipping point for 12 months of Cubs dominance)

    Reminds me of when Todd Walker needed a double for the cycle in Houston and instead just banged out HR #2. Good old Todd Walker.

    You have to view these games through the lens of 'trying to figure things out before the playoffs' , so he probably will put unproven pitchers in big spots to see how they fare. Right now Joe probably has about 33 guys that he is evaluating to make the postseason roster. Obviously about 22 of those spots are filled, so these 6 weeks will be big in determining who the other 3 guys are.

    Damn just realized that 5th run is charged to Jake. ERA still sitting pretty damn good at 2.75 though.
  16. UMFan83
    Thanks Brewer idiot. Braun was on deck too right?
  17. UMFan83
    Why is he still in the game after walking 2 straight guys with the bases loaded and tying run on 2nd?
  18. UMFan83
    Yeah no that won't be overturned
  19. UMFan83
    I think they might have gotten him but it seems really close and i havent seen a great view yet
  20. UMFan83
    Can ANYONE on the Cubs throw strikes today? lol
  21. UMFan83
    Maybe because Jake is awesome and we know how good he has been and can be so we want to show appreciation that we are allowed to watch him pitch
  22. UMFan83
    Spencer Patton with the tying run up and the wind blowing out, meh
  23. UMFan83
    Definitely not freaking out but if there's anything to be concerned about its the 6 walks. He has struggled with his command for large parts of the year despite still being an ace quality pitcher. I kind of thought he had turned the corner since the ASB so its a little concerning to see him have no command of his FB again. Could just be a blip, and Jake is too talented of a pitcher to struggle with his command for long, but we are in a 6 week coast to the finish line so a natural worrier like me starts looking for areas that need to be shored up before October. I think its more likely than not that I am silly for even bringing it up when he's dominating through October.
  24. UMFan83
    Jake has never had a 7 walk game in his career, and this is only the 3rd time in his career (and 2nd as a Cub) that he's allowed 6 walks in a start.
  25. UMFan83
    With a big lead, I would almost consider just pulling him after 80 pitches and letting him rest that arm. Yeah it might tax the pen before a series in Colorado but, i think our starter being rested and pitching well in October is more important.
