  1. They’re making the playoffs. They’re just going to do very little when they get there.
  2. Just have to tip your cap and call the Brewers our daddy.
  3. Should be able to cruise with a 5 run lead against the Marlins but no. Have to let the thing run come to the plate.
  4. Assuming we’re locked in to WC1 or WC2, who would we rather play between Atl or Phi? Obviously the ideal scenario is those two teams go down to the wire for the division and have to burn some pitchers.
  5. Yeah, baseball gonna baseball, but it seems so obvious this team's ceiling is limited at an NLDS appearance due to the pitching staff. They're just so bad that unless the offense just goes nuts, it's hard to see them making any sort of run.
  6. Not giving up on Palencia but I think last night was the first high leverage spot. -down 5-3 in the 7th at Seattle -up 4-0 in the 8th against Ari facing 8-9-1 -down 9-8 in the 9th against Cincy facing 7-8-9
  7. Anything can happen in a short series but it’s very unlikely the offense is the main reason the Cubs get bounced from the playoffs this year.
  8. New strategy for next year: just acquire a ton of starting pitchers. Two go each day and each one goes 4-5 innings. Then you have a couple random bullpen guys.
  9. Hopefully if it happens, the big Brewers hit is a legit one and not some opposite field bloop that scores two.
  10. Arizona would have to pass us too. Cubs are 77-60, Ari is 73-65, SD is 72-65. The Cubs have the tiebreaker over both. Basically either the Cubs would have to really suck and both Ari/SD would have to be decent (aka, the 2023 Cubs formula) or the Cubs would have to be .500ish and both of Ari/SD would have to get hot. Oh and Ari-SD play 3 times to end the year. The difference between 2026 and 2023 is we don't have H2H games left. The 2023 team blew it because they went 1-6 against Arizona in Sept.
  11. I love how he always has this confused look on his face after every home run as if he’s thinking “how did they hit that pitch out”.
  12. Was just thinking how Shota hadn’t given up a HR yet today.
  13. If you told me before the game that the Res scored 10 runs, I would have assumed Suarez homered at least one time.
  14. Lol. Didn’t take long for the pen to blow up today.
  15. Not that it changes your point at all but it’s 2 teams: Texas Tech and Miami.
  16. I think you’re right. I’ve always thought of it as a day game when a team is leaving for a new city right after the game. I mean, Sunday actually qualifies as more of a getaway day than today because the Cubs played on Monday night but are off tomorrow.
