    Are the Cubs doing the thing where they do all their hitting in one game of the series? lol
  2. UMFan83
    I'm sure the Brewers 48-15 is not the best 63 game stretch in baseball history but it's gotta be like in the top 20?
  3. UMFan83
    There's another video on twitter of Caleb nailing the drill also. Not gonna share it because I can't find on BlueSky but yeah training camp video.

    This might be the most depressing place on the internet right now. Come on guys one of these MLB seasons we’ll learn how to handle the peaks and valleys.
  5. UMFan83
    worth noting that the 2018 Brewers hot streak was over 30ish games. The 2025 Brewers have been playing 119 win pace baseball for 62 games
  6. UMFan83
    Again I don't understand why we just lop off 40% of the season and say the most recent 46 game stretch is the real Cubs. Even this mediocre stretch is a 85-77 pace. The Tigers just had a 1-13 stretch or something like that. The Yankees played well under .500 for a month. It's frustrating and this game was a huge gut punch but I assure you if the Cubs had a 9 game division lead none of this stuff would be magnified like it is.

    Hoerner (R) PCA (L) Seiya (R) Tucker (L) Kelly (R) Busch (L) Swanson (R) Happ (S) Shaw (R) Maybe you switch Tucker and keep him where he's been all year because even slumping he still takes good ABs and gets on base, but PCA brings speed I dunno, maybe that's stupid. If every one of your hitters is slumping at the same time nothing looks great

    We just have to accept that the Brewers are probably the greatest team in baseball history and we're playing for home field in the Wild Card round.
  9. UMFan83
    19-18 their last 37. But like I've said before, everyone has mediocre or downright bad stretches every year. Everything is magnified because the Brewers are playing 119 win ball for 40% of a full season.

    They're good against lefties. But when your 3 of your 4 best lefties are bunched together at the top of the lineup, and the one righty in the mix is in a horrific slump, seems like it leaves you exposed to situations like this.
  11. UMFan83
    Terrible. Lefty shuts down the top of our lineup again
  12. UMFan83
    They owe us a 2 strike meatball
  13. UMFan83
    not surprising they'd give in and see if Seiya chases with PCA on deck vs. LHP even if it puts the tying run on 2B. Make em pay PCA even if the matchup is bad
  14. UMFan83
    Is it bad that I didn't want this part of the order up for this spot?
  15. UMFan83
    also interesting that Turner didnt PH there
  16. UMFan83
    Gotta love the Orioles being able to bring in a lefty to face Busch, Tucker, slumping Seiya and PCA. Even switching to Kelly is a net loss for the Cubs. Really think even if he's getting less ABs, consider breaking up the top of the order.
  17. UMFan83
    Cubs might lose 4-3, like a ground ball to second base. Great Sandberg tribute.
  18. UMFan83
    It doesn't matter who the Brewers play, assuming they don't pull a Cubs, they'll improve to 47-15 over their last 62 games, playing at a 119-43 pace for 40% of the season. Good teams, bad teams, doesn't matter.
  19. UMFan83
    Good thing we have the deadline to get a lockdown pen arm to pair with Palencia. Oh wait
  20. UMFan83
    Yes Brasier threw a 0-2 cookie over the middle of the plate and another 2 strike cookie for a 416 ft HR
  21. UMFan83
    well 2 games back if we dont come back
  22. UMFan83
    0-2 pitch right over the middle, not ideal
  23. UMFan83
    That would break the rules
  24. UMFan83
    uh oh
  25. UMFan83
    ugh, gotta live with these things with PCA, but swinging at ball 4 above his eyes when a walk would have made bases loaded and 1 out
