The thing about every dude being a .728 ops grinder is that they are going to Do All The Little Things, but they are also going to blatantly steal looks into the pitchers grip and slide high into second, and it’s because they’ve all had to do this just to survive as baseball players. Nobody cared if Kris Bryant or Bryce Harper hustled to first, because they put balls in seats. These guys had to survive on the margins.

The cubs have undoubtedly had a good season to date but all this glazing at this exact moment feels like loser talk. Go beat down the little brother tonight and then we can memorialize the season before we deal with the dodgers
-
Fine. Guess I’ll get another drink.
-
Eh. Because it’s the fourth win or go home inning between two teams that have played 1500 innings this year. If not now, when.
-
I think flaherty is generally a good dude but between my memories of him as a cardinal and him giving off strong Bryson slash every villain in Disney channel movies ever, I’m fine with it ending here.
-
Going to need the cubs to score 13 in the first tomorrow to avoid anything close to the tension in this game
-
Man, I have no idea what an ‘up-down’ bullpen session is but I skimmed that tweet earlier, read it as ‘up and down’ and just assumed that was coach speak for ‘we sent him home until next year’
-
A (begrudging) plus one here. I'm loathe to change up anything on what has been a good team, probably to a fault, but....we've got 9 rested arms besides him ready to go. If we were in a different spot with the pen, I'd say you have to take your chances with him just from a length perspective, but in a win or go home setting with another day off and a well rested Taillon (and very well rested Shota) (and a potential ROY riding in to save the pitching staff) ready to go on Monday....let's throw the whole kitchen sink at them. No one should see the same guy twice.

This is so spot on. I remember reading an article over the summer that he took it upon himself to spearhead the team fantasy football and I was momentarily happy to see he actually had a personality trait, and then I realized that 'guy who has the personality of a block of wood' and 'guy who's entire personality is fantasy football' is the same thing.

I’m very excited to argue with everyone tomorrow (Nico to short, Castro to second? Caleb thielbar to start?), and then to hold my breath for 3.75 hours Saturday, but for tonight I’m just going to enjoy this very good baseball team with four postseason wins.
-
Craig had a number of runs they needed to be up to trust Ben brown. Six was not that number, apparently.
-
Who cares who is pitching on Saturday. Offense is scoring 12.
-
Shhhh. Come on man, give us like, a few hours before we go back to that debate.
-
Day off tomorrow (unless you’re east coast and it’s already Friday)
-
This game was going so well and now we’re throwing out red meat to the ‘start Busch vs a LHP’ crowd…
-
Brown runs the risk of throwing 12 balls, I don’t want to screw up reas routine going into Saturday. Civale or Soroka
-
Do we trust civale here? Or with the day off tomorrow might as well just stick with the top guys
-
lol at that throw
-
Robert gasser is essentially brewer-speak for white flag right?
-
As literally everyone expected, Matt Boyd, Ian Happ, and Matt Shaw carrying the team thus far
-
Can we stop with this gold globe Vaughn garbage
-
Turning point!
-
I will take, at the very least, Ashby throwing 40+ pitches and having that at least be a concern going into a (hypothetical) game 5
-
Feel like he had a shot at second and I’m not sure how much more conservative the play at first was
