  1. If he likes being in Chicago and they offer him the best or close to the best deal?
  2. The schedule isn't that bad. For Atlanta, Strider just pitched today so we miss him and Fried and Morton just got placed on the IL. So we get Elder Tuesday and ??? the other two games. I get Atlanta's offense is loaded but they aren't going to go all out just to beat the Cubs. They're up 3.5 on LA with 6 to play (7 for LA) and they have the tiebreaker. So if LA goes 7-0, the Braves would only have to go 3-3 to get the 1 seed. The only way the Milwaukee series matters to them is if we sweep Atlanta and St Louis sweeps Milwaukee. And if that happens, great! Because it means we won 3 times and are probably in good shape. If they have the division locked, they're resting dudes for the WC series starting Tuesday. Does that mean we're going to make the playoffs? Of course not. Other teams have easier schedules. But ours could be worse.
  3. I understand why but I still think it's funny that the DBacks, Cubs and Marlins are all more likely than not to make the playoffs yet one won't. It was the opposite a week or so ago where the DBacks, Marlins, Reds and Giants were all less than 50% to make the playoffs but one of them will make it.
  4. Unlucky with the sequencing too. That line drive is fine if Suzuki does it.
  5. I’ll take the sac fly there especially with the runners advancing.
  6. That's almost as good of a day as possible. The only team we want to lose that didn't is Philly and we're 5 back of them so we're probably not catching them anyway. Other than that, the DBacks, Marlins and Reds all lost, plus the Braves won while the Dodgers lost so Atlanta is up 5 now for the 1 seed.
  7. Am I going to tune in for the start of the game today?
  8. Counterpoint: is a half-assing it Brewers or Braves team actually worse than the Rockies or Pirates?
  9. Well definitely glad I didn't watch this one.
  10. 3 runs now since the inning would be over.
  11. Twins tie it up on a single, stolen base, error on the throw and another single.
  12. I thought it would be funny if he ended on 199 since he’s been awful this year and was hanging on only for 200. But I don’t care that he got it.
  13. Ryan Howard nearly won the 2008 MVP with 1.8 WAR. I thought I was looking at it wrong when I noticed it.
  14. At the River Cats game today and they’ve got the ball strike challenge system. It works pretty well. Challenge comes right away, it takes maybe 10 seconds to confirm or change the call, and then it’s on to the next pitch. The announcer says how many challenges the challenging team has left.
  15. I mean they did score 12 runs that one game against the Rockies. Oh wait it was 12 runs total in 3 games. Nevermind then.
  16. I mean he’s been playing for the Angels. We’re a much better spot than that.
  17. Can't review fair/foul on the infield? How the horsefeathers does that make sense?
  18. I love him but I bet Javy did that once or twice for us. Willy I seem to remember sometimes being overly aggressive in a walkoff spot too.
  19. Ugh. Had some hope for that fly ball when it was in the air.
