    So Almora swings at a 2-0 that’s low and in then hacks at a 3-1 pitch that’s a solid 6” outside. He’s useless.
  2. soccer10k
    Off to a wonderful start.
  3. soccer10k
    They haven’t said either way but I would assume we’d get Ross. Right now Scherzer is set to pitch the on Tuesday the last week of the year which would allow him to go the final Sunday if he thinks another good start could help him in the Cy Young race. So he doesn’t need to move up a day to get that extra start in. And if they move him up, the only matchup that changes would be going from home vs Mets to at Miami.

    Wednesday should be the obvious one to switch.
  6. soccer10k
    Seeing on twitter it could be Ross on Thursday with how they just bumped everyone back a day Yep, good news for us if they just bump it back a day.
  7. soccer10k
    Pretty much based on the lead we have and all the H2H games the other teams have.
  8. soccer10k
    Tell them if they sweep the Brewers this week that’s the bonus they get.
  9. soccer10k
    We’re off Thursday the 20th.
  10. soccer10k
    Yep. We’ll probably know tomorrow based on who they start. If they go with the rando who was supposed to start today, we’ll get Ross. If they start Roark, we’ll probably get Scherzer.
  11. soccer10k
    [tweet] [/tweet] Will be interesting to see what the Nats do but they could start Scherzer on normal rest that day.

    This is getting absurd. They make the Cubs play until almost 2am last night plan for a day game today and now they’re making the team wait around all day for a game that might not be played anyway (and ultimately might not matter). I know the flight to Chicago isn’t a long one but this is getting crazy. Just postpone this thing and be done with it.

    To load the bases in a 2-1 game? Yeah, he threw one up and in on the first pitch and another one high but over the plate on the second pitch. Braun stared at him after the second pitch and they were talking to each other. Then he plunked him on 2-0. Don’t know for sure it was intentional but seemed like it might have been.
  14. soccer10k
    And Bumgerner just gave up a slam.
  15. soccer10k
    Counsell just got tossed and lost his horsefeathers after Bumgarner probably hit Braun on purpose.

    This probably isn't true, but I have a hard time believing they would pitch Max in a last game like that and not shut him down at that point and take a look at some youngster with upside. I want the game postponed so that they can go a day without playing and the game might not matter later. The way they’ve got the schedule set up now, Scherzer’s last start would be Tuesday Sept 25 vs Miami. So he could go on normal rest in Colorado on Sunday. Whether or not he pitches could depend on if he feels he needs one more good start for the Cy Young. Of course, all the games start at the same time that last Sunday so if he wanted another start, it would have to be that day. No way to know if the Cubs and Brewers would need the extra game before Sunday’s game.
  17. soccer10k
    Still only the one run allowed and he’s only at 57 pitches through 4.
  18. soccer10k
    Jeimer hit a walkoff on Friday, I’ll give him a pass. The goon in right who just missed a lazy fly ball, well, screw him.
  19. soccer10k
    I’m guessing part of it is they want to get this game in if possible. The NL playoffs start a day earlier this year (NL wild card game is Tuesday instead of Wednesday) so they’d have one less day for any tiebreaker games. Since in all likelihood the only tiebreaker game the Cubs would play is for the division, MLB probably doesn’t want to worry about pushing back a wild card game.
  20. soccer10k
    Yep. I don’t mind essentially punting the first game. But if you’re going to only start Murphy and Zo in 1 game, do it in the game you’re actually trying to win. Especially with Murphy since it was a righty starting the second game.
  21. soccer10k
    Zobrist does his best Almora impersonation there.
  22. soccer10k
    Holland didn’t even give himself the chance to throw two pitches to Willy.
  23. soccer10k
    That is the rule. I think it was a touchback. The rule is stupid though. It's also stupid to dive for the end zone with the ball out like that (unless there isn't another play after like end of half or it's 4th and goal). I agree the rule is dumb, but it's the rule and players shouldn't take the risk of something like this happening.
  24. soccer10k
    But we were supposed to be rained out of at least one game today, if not both. And then when it started raining in the 6th today, it wasn’t supposed to stop.
  25. soccer10k
    I’m glad it’s raining now and not 30 minutes ago.
