    A player hitting a meaningless HR while getting blown out in an elimination game? I believe that’s called a Bryant

    1) Contreras has 3 hits including a double 2) Strop pitches a clean inning and it’s critical to victory

    Barf I know Almora hits lefties but I don’t love it

    Yeah, I hate saying it, but I don't want this wreck of a team having anything more to do with the Brewers this season. I’m the opposite. We’ve already surrendered our manhood to the Brewers this season. Losing to them again would not make it worse. Beating them would make it so much better.

    I tried this yesterday and David and others pointed out that they are actually slightly below average at hitting LHP when you adjust for park effects

    The smell of stale champagne in the visitors clubhouse will propel the Rockies to victory

    The one that bugs me the most is all the whining about the schedule. If I’m exhausted from watching the Cubs, I’m sure they are even more exhausted being the Cubs

    Let's hope Lester can go 7-8 innings somehow and we don't have to use Cole. The one advantage we had over the other WC potential teams moving forward was our rotation was set up perfectly for the DS. Use Hamels and suddenly we're looking at a Monty start and/or a bullpen game for Game 2 of the NLDS
  11. UMFan83
    Of course, you can't have the Cubs off for too long.
  12. UMFan83
    thanks for the heads up. I don't think I'll go but I'll try to pull up tickets and if I do decide from there. I'm sure they will be the $300 seats though

    Edwards is not on the roster for this game. Supposedly he has "right arm discomfort" Strop is on it though Kind of crazy to have Mills, De La Rosa and Rosario on a postseason roster, even if for the wild card game. Wouldnt have expected that 2 months ago
  14. UMFan83
    Murphy has a better chance of hitting a baseball, and that's the one thing this team needs the mostest help with 563 OPS vs LHP. And did you see his last AB? He was clueless. Bote has an .871 OPS against lefties (vs. .668 against righties). I like this idea
  15. UMFan83
    Ask Corey Kluber about Game 7. Yes I know he shut us down in Game 4 on short rest and I don’t give a horsefeathers. I always attributed that to starting on short rest twice in a row. Meh
  16. UMFan83
    Is it? I’ve seen pitchers throw great games on 3 days rest and I’ve seen them get shelled. As a whole starting pitchers are worse on 3 days rest but yeah I’m sure there’s ones that do fine on it. Freeland has never done it before as a starter. I read that he started on 3 days rest after a relief appearance last year and got lit up Edit: nvm it looks like they moved him to the pen at the end of last year, presumably to preserve his innings and still get value from him during playoff chase. He ended up starting once more and gave up 2 ER in 3 innings

    Freeland has 2 career starts against the Cubs. Last year at Coors 6 IP, 3 ER and this year at Wrigley 7 IP, 3 ER Despite this, the current Cubs have combined for a .475 OPS against him. The only Cub with any success is pre-broken KB who is 2-5 with a triple against him
  19. UMFan83
    Freeland is going to mow us the hell down. I don’t care if it’s 3 days rest. If we win it’s a 2-1 type of game
  20. UMFan83
    Needs it’s own thread because if the Cubs lose tomorrow we are going to have a boring ass 2 weeks waiting for this one. As was stated in last week’s game thread, Acho is out for the year. I believe after the bye the Bears play the entire AFC East over the following 4 weeks starting with a game in Miami against Gase

What is the difference, that is a big jump? I just saw OPS and was smart enough to look beyond that because Coors. Then wRC and wOBA which they lead the NL in Edit: I’m guessing the + adjusts for park effects doesn’t it? I feel better knowing that
  22. UMFan83
    God I just realized how annoying it would be to have 2 different teams celebrate clinching a spot in the NLDS on back to back days and celebrating in the visitors locker room. Especially when you are the 1 team out of the 4 that doesn’t get to advance to the next round and both of the games were at home
  23. UMFan83
    If we win 4 more games I will still consider them right just like how the Cubs were the 2015 NL Central champs
  24. UMFan83
    With us playing the Rockies we will have played playoff games against every NL West team and every NL team except the Phillies, Reds and Brewers (since today doesn’t count)
  25. UMFan83
    At least them having the later flight and the travel from LA, the Rockies probably won’t get into their hotel rooms until 2am. It’s a night game tomorrow of course but that might hurt their sleep a bit
