  1. What makes their intensity level high today? My point is that its baseball and the better team doesn't always play better over a 3 game series. Any individual 3 game segment of the season is a weighted crapshoot. The Cubs are red hot and playing at home, you shouldn't expect them to get their ass kicked, though clearly it was a potential outcome
  2. I think one of the things I hate most about the Braves is that they were like 'oh Freddie Freeman is getting older lets just replace him with Matt Olson' and now Olson is on pace for like 57 HRs this year.
  3. I disagree, this really hurts our chances of winning the Run Differential title
  4. It's baseball though, the White Sox took 2 of 3 from Atlanta. The Cubs came in hot and at home....I didn't expect a humbling. I think the biggest factor is that the Braves sat in their Chicago hotel rooms and watched the Cubs play until 10pm last night.
  5. The somehow is the part that needs to be figured out. I have no idea how pretty much all of their players signed long term mostly under market extensions to play in some generic ballpark in a suburb of Atlanta for the majority of their careers.
  6. Don’t worry guys we have our ace TBD on the mound tomorrow
  7. Florida State is all but begging a conference to come save them. Basically we're going to have 3 power conferences that all have divisions that are subconferences, and its going to be ridiculous. I'm not at all a CFB traditionalist but this all seems rather ridiculous.
  8. OK then, bye bye Pac 12
  9. Runs per game since July 2nd: Cubs - 6.8 Braves - 5.7 Who is intimidated of who?
  10. And back and forth we go
  11. I'm sure the still existing Atlantic 10 would not be too thrilled. Lets give them dorky names like...legends and leaders
  12. Pac12 might actually survive!
  13. So caught up in the Cubs game I didnt even see this news. That's fantastic. He's only 28 too so its not like we're hoping he avoids a sharp decline.
  14. I'm not going to sweat this weekend as long as we take 1 game. I think we can win the series though. But these games are less important than the last 4 were, which were less important than the previous 10 were. There's 53 games left this year and we only have to make up 2-3 games of ground as it stands. Edit: Feel free to find this post when I'm complaining about the Braves being up 5-0 early tomorrow.
  15. I can’t believe we can say things like “only 5 runs”. This team is a trip
  16. 2.5 out of the division, 2 out of the WC I think
  17. Last time Adbert came out for a 4 out save Tauchman had to save the game. Don't think he can scale the wall at Wrigley so better just get 3 strikeouts.
  18. Dammit....he was probably gonna get thrown out but I wish Dansby could have scored there. BTW, De La Cruz due up 3rd in the 9th. 😱
  19. I’m not very comfortable with the idea that 4 runs will win this game.
  20. That was the most telegraphed ejection ever
  21. What a terrific job by Morel. That is a maturing hitter right there
  22. Pirates took a 1-0 first inning lead against the Brewers but they ended up score 2 of their own in the 1st and lead 2-1
