    [tweet] [/tweet] Guaranteed he wants nothing more than for one of his pitchers plunk a Cleveland batter tomorrow.

    And yet infinitely better than the new uniforms Rizzo and Baez will be wearing next.

    [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo] Personal favorite of mine because I was there for it. Cubs are up 3-0 but Rondon blows it in the 9th. Rizzo walks it off in the 13th. We were sitting on the 1st base side but moved to the 3rd base side in extras to get into the shade. We had a perfect view right down the line of the HR.

    Don’t like this move at all. Lakers need shooting around LeBron, not a ball dominant PG who can’t shoot.

    Counterpoint: Jason Hammel came back after we traded him to Oakland.

    So why didn’t they bat then? had to get kyle ryan that 2nd inning down 3 runs Sending a reliever back out there for a 2nd inning is one of Ross’s favorite things. Does it all the time.

    Had to have been Jed’s call, right? Seems odd neither would have wanted one last PA.

    Ross wasn’t actually doing what he claimed he was doing.

    must be nice I guess this is kind of what we did when our rebuild started to blossom. The problem is we ended up with guys like Heyward and Quintana and Chatman/Davis rentals instead of Machado, Darvish and Scherzer. Kind of cherry picking there. Pads also ended up with Eric Hosmer and Blake Snell (5.44 ERA this year). Cubs also signed Lester, Zobrist and brought back Fowler. If we’re just looking at on field performance, lumping in Chapman/Davis with Heyward (and to a lesser extent, Quintana) isn’t fair to those two reliever. And even Heyward, hindsight is 20-20. Was there a Cubs fan who wasn’t excited about bringing in a dude who was 26, put up 12.4 WAR over the prior 2 years and averaged 5 WAR over his first 6 years? Maybe you balk a bit at the length/total money but nobody thought Heyward to horsefeathers the bed the way he did offensively.

    2-3 with a HR today and it drops his OPS for the series to 2.511.
  11. soccer10k
    Well Reds can’t be mad at Javy anymore. Javy couldn’t run so that’s clearly the only reason he walked to 1st yesterday.
  12. soccer10k
    Oh my god that might be my favorite walkoff ever. Just glorious.
  13. soccer10k
    Is it that they’ve actually managed to win a men’s hoops title in the last 20 years and that won’t stand in the Big 10?
  14. soccer10k
    As many hits as Covid vaccine shots!
  15. soccer10k
    Dammit.
  16. soccer10k
    Don't let Molina win it, please.
  17. soccer10k
    TOOTBLAN Tony coming through again.
  18. soccer10k
    He didn't pitch on Monday. Second straight day. Before yesterday, he pitched on Saturday.
  19. soccer10k
    One more HBP, please.
  20. soccer10k
    2 out nobody on in the 9th? Bottom of the order up? Got the Cards right where we want them.
  21. soccer10k
    I mean, that inning turned to what it did because of a swinging bunt combined with an error that put a runner on second. I’m not putting that one on Ross. He gave up 3 warning track shots in the 6th. It was obviously the end of the line. I get he’s earned a ton of leash with the run he’s been on, but it was an obvious pinch hit spot in his last AB. The PH spot is a fair criticism. I could go either way on that one.
  22. soccer10k
    And would you look at that I mean, that inning turned to what it did because of a swinging bunt combined with an error that put a runner on second. I’m not putting that one on Ross.
  23. soccer10k
    Legendary Giannis performance. Only the 7th player with 50 in a Finals game. 17-19 from the line also.
  24. soccer10k
    We’re a solid 8 on the fake rally scale right now.

    Isn’t it fun how the sample sizes have to shrink dramatically for the Brewers to have a clearly better team? I’m just one of those carazies out there who needs more than minute info and partial results, sorry to the offended. I’m still not fully indoctrinated on the post-covid sports analysis, don’t see the same fire you do over something as leisurely as a 54 out sport played 162 times during the spring/summer/early fall Boy do I have some good news for you if you don’t want to worry about sample sizes! Because you could just look at the standings and tell the Brewers are better. 9.5 games better in the standings. 10.5 games better in pythag. They’ve scored more runs than the Cubs They’ve allowed fewer runs than the Cubs Projected to win 92 games to the Cubs 79 per Fangraphs Projected to win 92 games to the Cubs 81 per 538 Projected to win 93 games to the Cubs 82 per BP.
