That swing by Shaw on the homerun felt very Dustin Pedroia to me. Not comparing the players, mind you, just saying that particular swing felt very Pedroia like.
I don't disagree. I am simply waiting on that cold streak every team goes through or at least trying convince that Brewers will go through that cold spell.
With that said. I suspect the division lead will hot potato between thr Cubs and Brewers till the end of the season. Cubs need to be ready to kick the Brewers arse when it is time.
I agree.
The Brewers will go cold, at some point. You don't want to be peaking in late July/early August, It would not surprise me if Milwaukee goes into Seattle and loses 2 of 3 or get swept because baseball.
There is no assuming. That is what Mil has done recently. Until they break that trend, they get no benefit of the doubt. ATP Milwaukee is a good regular season team but essentially a playoff jobber.
I'm not accepting anything but I am also not going to worry about the vaunted brewers. The Brewers will do what the Brewers have always done in recent times.....the leave the playoffs quickly.
Everything hot will go cold, it'll happen. Keep grinding away and I am confident the Cubs will be there in the end.
As Rcal mentioned, Castro is a rental. Cubs better not give a quality prospect like Long for a non impact rental bat like Castro.
I can be talked into Long for Suarez but not Long for Castro.
