    Don’t forget with that September 20th off day it came after a late night game in Arizona and the first game after the off day was a Day game - pretty much the shortest break you can possibly have with an off day.

    Say what you want about the two teams (and I certainly have) but 3 straight years of great games between OSU-PSU. 1 OSU collapse and 2 PSU collapses

    FUN WITH ARBITRARY ENDPOINTS! Yeah, that 7-game win streak sure helps a lot when looking at it that way. Here are some more endpoints! Between August 1st and August 21st they went 10-8. And then, obviously, only 16-14 from August 29th until today. It’s arbitrary but add a day onto it and it’s the exact length of the death march which I think there is some value to look at as a whole. Especially because the Brewers have had like 17 off days in that stretch

    Since August 22nd, the Cubs have played at a 98 win pace (23-14) with just 1 off day. The problem is the sham overrated vaunted Brewers have played at a 113 win pace over the same time frame (23-10) The Cubs are good and have played good, the Brewers have just played considerably better with more rest Edit: lol just read 17 seconds post right before mine

    It’s probably worse that the Cardinals are eliminated. Any pressing that they might have been doing will be completely lifted. And Flaherty will throw like 120 pitches

    At this point I’m just hoping Detroit keeps it close again tomorrow so Milwaukee uses Hader and Jeffress again. I feel Like the tigers played their winnable games already and tomorrow will be a bloodbath

    Not...sure... who you’re referring to

    Gotta hand it to the Brewers. Season on the line and they go 6-0 to even up the division. Sure Cubs could have played better but if they weren’t literally unbeatable this week the division is over
  9. UMFan83
    And the Vaunted Brewers who I was told repeatedly would fade this year, have played even with the Cubs through 161 games
  10. UMFan83
    Or the Cardinals runner doesn’t trip or the Tigers OF doesn’t push a fly out over the wall. This whole week has been an exercise in fluke luck deciding a division
  11. UMFan83
    Of course inches from a 3 run lead. horsefeathers the baseball gods
  12. UMFan83
    Yelich is so damn good. He seems to get big hits every night. Props to him for almost singlehandedly keeping his team in the division race
  13. UMFan83
    After calming down, it’s not ideal but all 3 outcomes after tomorrow have their advantages. Obviously the best scenario is to win the Central outright. If we tie, we have 2 chances to win ourselves into the NLDS. If we lose, obviously the least ideal but at least we get a day off before the WC Game
  14. UMFan83
    Who would have expected Cubs v Dodgers part 3 to be in the Wild Card game
  15. UMFan83
    Win and guarantee 2 shots at the NLDS
  16. UMFan83
    Dammit Theo why don’t you have a crystal ball
  17. UMFan83
    Lol if this week plays out with max games the Cubs will be at 44 games in 46 days. That’s cruel
  18. UMFan83
    At least the Cubs wouldn’t have to travel Monday or Tuesday
  19. UMFan83
    Guessing potential pitching matchups this week: Monday - Chacin vs Quintana Tuesday if nec - Hill vs Lester Thursday - Miley vs Hendricks Friday - Gonzalez vs Hamels Sunday - Anderson vs Quintana/Lester Obviously if the Cubs don’t have to play Tuesday this will change for Cubs
  20. UMFan83
    On the bright side the Cubs are used to playing every day and I’m guessing the Brewers will be gassed having to play 4 whole days in a row
  21. UMFan83
    Duke you are running out of bullets
  22. UMFan83
    Sucks that we might not even see Hendricks or Hamels again this season
  23. UMFan83
    Can’t wait to see what the .550s OPS tigers have in store for us tonight
  24. UMFan83
    There is probably a 90% chance of the Cubs playing on Monday and/or Tuesday now
  25. UMFan83
    40 in 41 days? Heck let’s go 1-2 days more!
