The funny thing is I was thinking that the Cubs might actually go an entire game without giving up a HR. Nope, the march to the record continues -
Phillies lost, DBacks tied in the 10th, Padres down 1-0
-
This feels like tailspin territory
-
What a choke job
-
Wish PCA managed to come through, not that its even in the top 3 reasons we're going to extras but that was killer
-
2 run lead, 2 outs, no one on, 0-2 count and they blow it
-
horsefeathers MAGA chud
-
Cubs selling out for a HR knowing full well that if they hit a solo HR the Brewers will just have an IF single, boop hit and 2 out double to win 3-2.
-
I know they’re still in a race for the bye but you’d think at this point they’d want to start preparing for the playoffs instead of treating every Cubs game like the World Series.
-
At least Miz is out. And the Bullpen of Doom (different than the Cubs bullpen of doom) is in
-
Good news is we have both our challenges left and will probably still have in the 9th
-
Sure don’t challenge the 3-0 ball that is called a strike and then strike out
-
I was just about to say Miz needs to get over 90 pitches otherwise he’s going to the 7th. And then the next pitch Nico hits into a double play at 86 pitches FFS
-
Pen tried their hardest but Seiya says no.
-
Perfect, need 4.2 IP from the pen tonight meanwhile Mis might be able to go 2 more.
-
For most teams…
-
Yeah I mean don’t get me wrong I’m a football fan too, almost at the same level. But I’ve always had slightly more affinity for college basketball. There’s dozens of us
-
I’m not saying I want Miz to need TJS at all but it’s crazy how this dude throws 102+ MPH consistently and no issues while our most promising pitchers: Steele hasn’t pitched in almost 2 seasons due to TJS Horton is out all this year and part of next year with his second TJS Brown has a mysterious neck injury that has taken him out 70% of the last 2 years Not fair I tell ya
-
Figured there’s an 87% chance the brewers scored after getting a weak contact IF single with 2 outs and no one on. Thats how it always starts
-
I was going to point out that 3 years ago the World Series was contested by 2 terrible pitching staffs, but the Rangers and Diamondbacks each had 10+ more pitching fWAR than this year's Cubs
-
I feel like the past 2 days people have been trying to bait me into commenting on and defending whatever the hell that was but the fact is I don’t really care what happened, I have no idea if it was a fix or they legitimately believed there was a second left. I honestly just dont want to ever think about that game or anything surrounding it again. At this point I’m just sick of being dragged into the latest Michigan controversy. I got my basketball title which is what I’ve wanted more than anything since the first time I decided to root for Michigan, so whatever.
-
No I just gamed this out, the magic number is 11, and that incorporates the fact that either the Padres or Diamondbacks are guaranteed to lose 2 times. Like if the Cubs go 10-7, the magic number will be 1 because the Padres and DBacks can both still win 93 games even accounting for one of them losing 2 games, but they'd have to go undefeated in all games against other teams, and neither team can sweep the other in that final 3 game series.
-
Maybe. But the 2004 Cubs still went 8-9 in their last 17 games. If we do that we're almost certainly in the playoffs.
-
Sure but that's a scenario that requires no help, meaning both the Padres and Diamondbacks could win every game besides the 3 they play against each other and still not pass the Cubs. At 10-7, one of the teams would have to go undefeated outside of their 3 game series at the end of the year. At 9-8, they are only afforded 1 loss. etc etc. I mean I get it, I was lightly banging the "Cubs could still collapse" drum last week but that 3 game winning streak plus some time to think logically about it talked some sense into me. It would take a complete 2004 style ending and/or a 2007 Rockies style finish from 2 different teams to miss it.
-
To add to this, the Cubs magic number is 11 to make the playoffs with 17 to go. 11-6 clinches it without any help.
