Yes in a vacuum a 3 run inning is always good. But with context it decidedly becomes less good. Doesn't mean I'm not encouraged by getting on base 6 straight times
It’s not a good half inning. We literally did not make an out at the plate and only scored 3 runs.
dont get me wrong the 3 runs are nice but that doesn’t make the result of the inning acceptable
It's Bowden but he said today that the Cubs are heavily involved everywhere in terms of trade talks and expects them to be the trade deadline winners for the NL Central (whatever that means).
I’m pretty sure both keepers guessed right every time except one each, they just weren’t able to save them all. Freese looks like he booked a spot on the World Cup roster if not starter
It's kind of like the end of the 2018 season. The Cubs aren't free falling but it feels like it because the other teams won't lose. Every other team in the NL Central had a winning record in June except the Cubs, but the Cubs were still 13-13
It's probably the part where we had a 6.5 game lead 10 days ago and now its 1 game?
I don't think people expected the Brewers to have the 3rd best record in the NL and Cardinals right behind them.
Even with the elite pitching, hitting really hasn’t been a giant issue tbh. Our season OPS is .774, but during this possibly about to be 11-13 stretch our team OPS is .750.
I always say the NL Central should always be so winnable in a division with 4 smaller market teams but here we are with the 2nd best record in the NL and there are 2 team right on our ass
It makes no sense that we're sticking with him. Candelario has been terrible this year but he does have a .701 OPS this year against LHP and can play 3B and 1B better than Turner can. Wouldn't cost much to scoop him up for a couple of weeks.
Of course the Rockies down score with a runner on 3rd and 1 out but the Brewers do the next inning. Are we gonna be down to 1 game lead (and 2.5 over STL)?
