    Saw Almora is batting second and Heyward third which meant I was going to be annoyed that one of them is batting in that position. Turns out, it’s Heyward. If Joe really doesn’t want to put 3 righties in a row for bullpen reasons, put Happ there.

    Wade Davis trying to blow it against St Louis. EDIT: And he blows it. Cards win with two in the ninth.

    I was happy when they brought him in. Just remembered that game a couple months ago when he came in and gave up a homer to Rizzo right away.

    Grandal walkoff homer in the 10th.
  5. soccer10k
    Leadoff double in the ninth for the Dodgers. End it now, please.

    This Alexander guy is horsefeathers today and Roberts is just sitting on his hands in the dugout. EDIT: Got a double play with the bases loaded to at least keep the game tied.

    Cueto will have Tommy John tomorrow.

    That's the stereotypical "Chatwood allows no runs" inning. Single and a walk to get into trouble but then gets a double play ball.
  9. soccer10k
    One ball out of the infield and we have four runs.
  10. soccer10k
    Good start. Would be nice if we pretended we were facing our own starters and put up a crooked number right away.
  11. soccer10k
    12 Nats players batted in the game and all 12 had at least one hit.

    He tried to do a Javy slide and didn’t need to. If he doesn’t pull the left hand back he’s absolutely safe.
  13. soccer10k
    ADDI! Come on, Cubs. Get this run in.
  14. soccer10k
    Nats are up 19-0 in the 6th inning. Every starter has at least one hit and 8 of the 9 (pitcher included) have at least 2 hits.

    Fire Hickey. Kintzler for player-pitching coach.

    It would be more okay than the other way around because of the games before it. Let’s turn their 6-4 and beating the Dodgers into 4-6 and losing to the Dodgers. That would mean instead of being 7-11 in their last 18 and leading the Dodgers, they’d be 5-13 and heading for 5-14. Obviously it doesn’t mean disaster (see the Cubs 5-15 stretch in 2016 and the Dodgers 1-15 stretch last year) but it’s more of an extended trend. Instead, we’re overreacting to 7 games against the Nats and Giants (since they lost 2 of 3 to LA coming out of the break).

    okay but a comment about being annoyed that the brewers are doing well during the hardest part of their remaining schedule should not have gotten that kind of reaction, what the horsefeathers Because they're not actually done with the hardest part of their remaining schedule? Because they can still finish under .500 against said hard part of the schedule? It's like calling "Ballgame" when the Cubs are down 4-0 in the 5th inning (not saying that you specifically do this, just using it as an example). Sure, it doesn't look great, but maybe wait for the game to play out a bit more before you declare it over.

    The broader point is that sometimes, and bear with me here because this might sound crazy, is that the results don't always go like you think they will. Sometimes, teams overperform against good teams and sometimes they underperform against bad teams. So sure, the Brewers appear to be playing well over this 11 game run. But they also had a 2-9 stretch (I know there's overlap with the LA series) where they lost 2 of 3 in Miami, were swept in a 5 game set by Pittsburgh and lost 2 of 3 to LA. So in that Mia-Pit-LA stretch, realistically, you'd expect they'd at least win the first two series and the third could go either way, which would mean either 6-5 (losing the LA series) oar 7-4 (winning the LA series).

    He’s got a giant, rock hard doom boner that he should probably go see a doctor about because it’s lasted well longer than 4 hours. The Brewers have done very well this year. It’s increasingly likely that they’ll be sticking around all year long. They’re a solid team. But they’re not even guaranteed of a winning record yet during their tough stretch to start the second half. If they end up 10-7 or better, then come by and say “so much for their tough post-ASB schedule.” On June 25, he said there was real collapse potential now with the Cubs. Since then, they're 19-10, which is the second best record in the NL. They've picked up 3.5 games on the Brewers (giving them a win tonight) and 6 on the Cards.

    1. They’re only 6-4 so far. 2. Tonight’s game isn’t over and they could still lose. 3. They still have three more against the Dodgers. 4. Then they get 3 against Colorado. 5. That means even if they win tonight, they could still go 7-10 to start the second half (as long as we’re wildly overreacting here). 5. After a short break against San Diego, they have three in Atlanta and two against us. 6. You complain way too much and don’t deserve the awesomeness we’ve gotten from the Cubs the last 3 1/2 years. 7. You’re:

    That Neymar transfer last year really blew up the prices on the transfer market.
  22. soccer10k
    Cubs win!
  23. soccer10k
    Nice TOOTBLAN, Willy.
  24. soccer10k
    Once Willy went back to 1st, Carp should have had the easy DP. Instead he’s a dope.

    Someone spoke too soon.
