    The Cubs are going to pull an Orioles aren't they? Not get swept all year long and then get swept in the playoffs. Of course it's more likely the Cubs get swept since we'll likely be in a best-of-3 series while the Orioles were swept in a best-of-5.

    Prior to July, in the 56 1/2 years the Brewers had existed, they had won 11 straight games twice, in 1987 and in 2021. They now have 2 win streaks of 11 games in the past 5 1/2 weeks. It's the good version of the White Sox having the two longest losing streaks in the history of their franchise both take place in the 2024 season.

    Welp you had the more accurate prediction.

    Maybe the reason Jed didn’t bother with significant upgrades at the deadline is because he knew this team was cooked so there was no point.

    Skenes hadn’t given up a first inning run all year and gave up a homer to the first fucking Brewers hitter of the game.
  6. soccer10k
    Is there any doubt that against Skenes tomorrow, the Brewers will be down 1-0, 2-1 or 2-0 after 5 or 6 innings and then win something like 5-2? Just seems like a mortal lock.

    .675 OPS in July so still not very good. He drew 21 walks so maybe pitchers were still respecting his bat. He’s only walked 2 times in 8 games so far in August.
  8. soccer10k
    What are you talking about? He’s hitting .258 with a ..587 SLG in that span. Oh wait, that’s his SLG and OPS. Yeah, .194/.329/.258 slash line with 1 HR in that span. That’s really rough.

    3-0 weak groundout from PCA. 1 for his last 30 now.
  10. soccer10k
    Against my better judgement I’m tuning into the game.
  11. soccer10k
    Lol Mets. Thats only the second ER and the fourth run Edwin Diaz has allowed since Apr 21.
  12. soccer10k
    Helsley blows it again.
  13. soccer10k
    Yep. This is from the broadcast right after they got done showing a replay of the previous play. Clearly on 0 and Helsley hasn't thrown the ball yet.
  14. soccer10k
    Not at all.
  15. soccer10k
    I look forward to see how we lose this game and how squally pops into the thread after to tell us that everything will be fine and Milwaukee will lose again eventually.

    The 2016 team was also coming off a 97 win season and an NLCS appearance, and then demolished the league for the first 2 1/2 months. At no point has this team played close to as good as that team for any extended period.
  17. soccer10k
    Lol Cubs.
  18. soccer10k
    As funny as that would be, it appears to be fake.

    They aren’t an offensive juggernaut but they’re solid. T9th in OPS+ and 10th in wRC+. Of their top 9 hitters, they have 1 with an OPS above .800 and it’s .801 but they’ve only got 1 below .700. Pitching wise, you have to get to their 10th pitchier in IP before you get a guy with an ERA over 3.6 and you have to get to their 16th guy before you reach a second one. For the Cubs, after Boyd, our 2 and 3 guys in IP have ERA’s over 4 and our 4th guy has an ERA over 6. Obviously you’re not going to win many games getting 3 hits, but they also don’t need to hit that well to win games when they pitch as well as they do.

    I'm not going to say I knew it was gone, but I felt good about it based on Turner holding the bat up the way he did. He knew he hammered that pitch.
  21. soccer10k
    San Francisco, particularly at night, is typically tough on hitters, especially when it comes to hitting home runs. This is part of the reason the Giants haven’t had a guy hit 30 home runs in a season since Bonds in 2004.
  22. soccer10k
    6-7 in their last 13. Still mediocre. I kid I kid.
  23. soccer10k
    Justin Turner!
  24. soccer10k
    Are you even watching? First pitch to him was a slider also.
  25. soccer10k
    Wonderful.
