He wasn’t just talking about the last 7 games. They went 8-6 the past two weeks. the cardinals and rockies are barely above .500 with run differentials that are barely positive. I dont see how a home stand against them is considered a tough stretch Here is the complete list of 13 game stretches where we only play teams over .500 besides this one: That’s the list. We have a 12 game stretch of Mil-StL-Mil-Oak in the second half. You probably think that’s not tough because the Cards are barely .500 and Oakland is only .500. We also had a 9 game stretch of Tex-Atl-Mil and another 9 gamer of Ari-LAD-Ari. Those are the only sets of 3 straight series against .500 or better teams this year (based on current records). So either what we just went through is a tough stretch or there isn’t a tough stretch on the schedule.

FWIW, per Fangraphs projections, our rest of season SOS is .496 to the Brewers’s .502. If you go season to date stats only, we’re at .484 and the Brewers are .512.
-
That’s fine. But a couple weeks ago, the weekend we got swept by the Cards, 17 Seconds was looking at the Brewers upcoming schedule and panicking because of how easy it was. Since then, while they got to play the Marlins, Giants and Pirates, we actually picked up half a game despite them playing a cake schedule and getting three days off. That doesn’t mean that we’re going to win the division or we’re going to go on a nice run up through the ASB. But the past two weeks have been fine. Not great. But fine.

2-5 is not satisfactory, I dont give a horsefeathers what the brewers did. they slump and we cant even be average to take advantage of it. the last several weeks have been damaging. He wasn’t just talking about the last 7 games. They went 8-6 the past two weeks.

So top of 9, it's a tie game with two outs and the Padres have a runner on third. The Rockies decide to intentionally walk not one but two players (both with sub-.700 OPS) to load the bases so they can face the pitcher. They then walked the pitcher to force in the go ahead run.
-
Good job, Albert.
-
Says the teams combined for 92 runs which is the most in a 4 game series since 1900.
-
Rockies beating the Padres 9-8 today. Oh, it’s only bottom of the third. The other games in the series ended 9-6, 16-12 and 14-8.
-
And that's why they play the games.
-
We win?
-
Cards just had the tying run thrown out at home to end the game.

At age 22, only 170 PA’s, cost controlled, small sample size... Yeah, plus .313 .421 1.000 in the last week with only a .182(!!!) BAbip, and .294 .368 .647 with a .333. So he’s been great over the last week? Cool. He’s been nothing special this year with a .284 BABIP. That doesn’t mean he won’t end up being good or great down the line. I’m just saying pump the breaks a bit.
-
He's got a .303 OBP and a .791 OPS after tonight. Coming into tonight, he's been worth -0.3 bWAR and 0.0 fWAR.
-
Well the Brewers lost to the Giants so that's good.
-
Looks like old CB is going to be terrible for all 9 innings tonight.
-
Someone tell Monty to throw some horsefeathering strikes.
-
It was a close call. Maybe, but I prefer the force out rather than having to make a good enough throw to be able to get the tag down.
-
Just throw to first, Javy.

Post Lakers breakup but before the Celtics got KG and Allen maybe, so 04-07? Mavs, Spurs and Suns were good all three years and Houston won 50+ twice. Those first three were probably the clear favorites in the West each year though. 06-07 was probably the move competitive in the East. Pistons were winding down (53 wins and 4th of 5 straight conf finals trips). LeBron made the Finals but the Cavs only won 50. Those were the only two that won 50 that year. Shaq only played 40 games for Miami and they only won 44 games.
-
Best I could find, but last year at this time there were 4 or 5 teams (depending on the Lakers) with title odds better than 20-1. This year there are 8. Last year, there were 16 teams with worse than 100-1 odds. This year there are only 9.
-
Was thinking the same thing. Every decent to good team is going to think with the right moves, they could win a title. The West is a crapshoot because the Warriors aren’t hanging over everything. The top-4 in the East all have major free agent question marks. We’ll have a much better idea in a month but right now, there isn’t a clear favorite in either conference.
-
Yeah, the difference is the Warriors were going to lose if Draymond didn’t call the timeout. I don’t think that’s why he called it. I think it was just instinct in the heat of the moment. But if he doesn’t do that the clock runs out. Honestly, given how many people on the Warriors on the team were calling for it as well, it wouldn't surprise me if they all knew to do it if needed. That’s true. Didn’t think about that.

Congrats to the Raptors. They were the better team all series since Durant was out. They deserved it. Wish they would have won it at home though. Hope Klay isn’t hurt too badly. It’s never good when the knee buckles to the side like his did, though it didn’t seem to be nearly as bad as some we’ve seen. EDIT: So much for that. Klay tore his ACL.

Hey guys, I tuned in when it was 3-0 so you can blame me for the 6 runs. I've turned the game off now though. Sorry for not doing it earlier.
