So on one play we have -a terrible throw to second on a steal attempt -neither the SS nor 2B covering on time anyway -an overthrow back in to the infield Lovely

And also the alternative is Heyward. .391/.500/.870 last 7 games Heyward is god awful against lefties this year and had been his whole career. While Almora is equally as awful against lefties this year, he’s traditionally been better against lefties than righties. Neither option is good, but Almora is the better one of the two today.

He's hitting .500 against this pitcher And also the alternative is Heyward.

Realistically, 11-5 probably does it, maybe 12-4. The only way we catch the Cards is to go 5-2 against them which knocks out 3 of the 4 games. Going 6-3 in the other 9 probably gets it done with the Cards schedule (Wash, Mil, Ari). Cards do have to face Strasburg, Corbin and Scherzer in that series. Even if we go 4-3 against St Louis, 8-1 in the other games might be enough to win the division outright but would probably get at least a tie. That being said, I’m not sure if 11-5 or 12-4 would happen either.

Because of past year when we were between 90 and 95% to win the division at the end of August and didn’t? Oh, crap. That, too. We are FanGraph busters. They must be so pissed at the Cubs. So your issue is that you don't understand how Fangraphs projections work? I'm either failing to see what your issue with Fangraphs is or you're being Schwarber Fan levels of meatbally here.

Glad we play before Brewers-Cards on Fri and Sat. If the Cubs win, I’ll probably root for Milwaukee. If we lose then I root for St Louis. Ideal scenario for me is the Cubs sweep the Pirates and the other series goes 2-1.

Looks like I was a day off on picking which two days our offense wouldn't show up. We're scoring like 3 tomorrow also.
-
LOL Cubs. Didn't know they brought Zobrist in to pitch.
-
Nice horsefeathering throw, Hamels. Just eat that one and keep the guy on first you dope.
-
Probably should have just sent Rizzo on KB’s flyout.
-
I wasn’t aware the season ended today.
-
We won games than they did literally last year. And in a tougher division also.
-
There’s your answer.

I have no idea where to look these stats up if they’re even out there so please correct me if I’m wildly off base. But Cishek seems like a guy who throws a lot of pitches out of the zone and is reliant on the weird arm angle confusing hitters so they swing more. It seems like when he blows up, it’s because he either walks guys or falls behind and has to come into the zone. So if hitters are patient, they’ll benefit, but it’s hard because the weird arm angle, release point and trajectory of the ball confuse hitters. If there are stats that either back this up or show I’m totally talking out of my ass, please post either way.

Goats of the night: Zobrist Cishek Kintzler
-
Yep. He clearly didn't have it and Joe just left him in.
-
GOD DAMMIT CISHEK YOU horsefeathering MORON.
-
Walks two crappy hitters to get to the top of the order. Great.
-
LOL. Jankowski thinks it hit him but it didn't come within two inches of his jersey.
-
Make them hit the ball, Steve.
-
Liner gets caught and a little blooper doesn't fall in. Inning could be so much different with a little luck. Hold them here and hope the top of the order can come through.
-
CB with another bad call on strike 2 to Hoerner.
-
Damn, thought that was a gapper off the bat.
-
Good horsefeathers, Wick. Get a run, offense.
