Would be nice if the Brewers at least showed up next week at home against St Louis.
-
That regression we all expected last year came all at once this year. Shaw went from 4.1 bWAR to -0.9 Cain went from 6.9 to 1.8 Aguilar went from 3.2 to -0.4 Harder and Jeffress went from 5.5 to 1.5
-
Decent just drove in 3 on a pop up to short left because both the 3B and LF gave way.
-
That's bonkers. This team is so weird. Our Pythag would have us at 13 games over. We are going on a run boys. I think we want the Brewers to take this series in St Louis. The Brewers schedule is getting pretty tough here. I think the ideal scenario is Milwaukee taking 4 of 6 from St. Louis over the next 10 days. I would even be okay with 5 of 6 depending on what we do and what Milwaukee does against Arizona also.

We’re 5-13 in 1 run games and 3-10 in 2 run games on the road this year.
-
But how far back do we go in the play? Is it only the guy who scores or sets up the goal? What about the guy who passes to the guy who sets up the goal? What if a guy wins a ball at midfield with his arm and dribbles all the way up the field before passing the ball to the guy who scored?Wherever you cut off the line, it’s going to be arbitrary. I don’t think this rule makes it any more clear cut than it was before.

Thames homer. 15-13.
-
Sac fly and the Nats tie it.
-
Of course the Nats are rallying. 1st and 3rd with 1 out.
-
Yelich homers again. 13-12 Brewers in the 13th.

VAR ... Great invention or greatest invention? In all seriousness, I hate the new handball rule. It was an accidental handball. I know City benefited from it, but the goal wasn't scored directly from the handball. I didn't like the handball call in the UCL final and I don't like this one. Are they going to give PK's every time a defender touches the ball with his hand in the box? Because it only seems fair to do that if you're going to disallow goals for stuff like this. As for City, not only do they get denied by VAR again in extra time against Spurs, but the handball rule that's in place now would have overturned Spurs's winning goal in the UCL quarters last year because it went in off Llorente's arm.

It wasn't the case today but you can chalk a couple up to taking the starter out too early.
-
I get that those hitters have their weak sides but Kintzler has been absolute nails against LHB so I think the move was fine. He just couldnt come close enough to the plate to elicit a swing once he got 2 strikes. Nope, still dumb. If Kintzler is nails against lefties, just bring him in to start the inning. He used the splits to bring Ryan in (to face a lefty and then to make Reynolds bad righty since his OPS is 200+ points better as a lefty) but then ignores them for the next three hitters. It’s dumb and there’s no good reason for it.
-
We’re getting there. Cubs are at .683 at home and .371 on the road. I don’t know if it’s the record but the 1987 Twins were .691 at home and .358 on the road. And they won the WS that year.
-
No, it’s why you don’t load the bases. The Moran at bat was the issue. You still don’t put the winning run on base. Why make it so a double loses you the game? Bell’s been garbage for two months. No need to walk him.
-
LOL Cubs.
-
There’s the baserunner.
-
Ok so one of the first three reaches and Bell hits a two run homer.
-
Don’t worry guys. We’re still losing this one.
-
Fun fact: Almora has the same OPS as Lorenzo Cain this year. Cain’s been more valuable because he actually knows how to play defense and he’s got 40 points of OBP. I knew Cain had fallen off but I didn’t realize how much.
-
Double digits. Obviously 5 going into the 8th and 4 going into the 9th isn't big enough.
-
Do yourselves a favor and don't watch. There's no point.
-
Forgive me if I don't believe that the guy with *checks box score again* 0 walks in the game was losing his command.
-
They’ll probably find some way to win 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh, win 8 of those 11 home games but get swept by the Mets in the middle. Lose 3 of 4 in Milwaukee and split in SD. Go 7-3 at home before ending the year 1-5. That puts them at 85-77. St Louis wins the division with 86.
-
It’s a ways off, but I’m going to predict we’ll either be 2 games up going in to the St Louis series at the end of the year and we’ll get swept or we’ll be tied and lose 2 of 3. In the latter scenario, we’ll win the first game only to lose the next two.
