Nico forever that was not a good curveball
-
A scoreless first?!?
-
I think Misierowski is their only real game 5 option at this point, but that still leaves Ashby/Koenig/Uribe/Megill to get 5 innings without much concern about overusing them with the day off tomorrow. Nick Mears if things get real weird.
-
Yeah I think ultimately this is all related and getting to an ultimate point (and this is not to disparage/diminish all your good and hard work): none of these decisions really matter in this sample size. Like, should Quintana have started earlier given how good he yesterday? Of course not! He's a bad pitcher. But I feel pretty comfortable saying that, regardless of who you think the best option and the worst option is, the actual impact it has on winning this game is pretty much impossible to determine and likely small. A .300 OBP hitter is (almost always) objectively bad. A .400 OBP hitter is very elite. Over 5 PAs, the difference is negligible. We're all sitting here locked in on these games because we love the team and it's October and whatever else. But if these types of decisions truly swayed wins and losses to a material manner, and a manager had a chance to do that 162-175 times a year....they'd be getting paid more than Colin Rea.

I think Boyd is the best choice of a group of bad options. At the end of the day, just go with your best pitcher. Not in the last month, not in the 2-3 games against a specific opponent. Just...the best pitcher. He's going to face 12-15 hitters, figure it out from there. We won last night, so whatever, but man, the fact that we saw 120 pitches from guys not named Peralta, Ashby, Misierowski, Uribe, and Megill and scored zero runs off those pitches is pretty discouraging. Breaking out against Peralta isn't how you'd draw it up, but saw some patience yesterday finally, hopefully it's a good first step.

We should put an injured dude who hasn't played the field in a month at a position he hasn't played in 5 years on a windy night at Wrigley to bench a guy with a 116 wRC.
-
yeah dude, keep talking about you, genetically, have better judgment than craig counsell. very normal stuff, you're doing great.
-
Me for the last five innings yesterday: Craig Counsell to Javier Assad: The Cubs walking into Miller Park Saturday after knocking out Peralta:
-
this is cringiest post i've read on here in a long time
-
You kinda have to bench most of the team then, unfortunately. If there's ever a game for Tucker to make a lasting impact, it's this one.
-
They figure the dodgers and Phillies get better ratings in the eastern time zone, which is all they really care about
-
Proof the Brewers are stealing signs, again

Didn’t find the one I had originally seen but this one was close enough. A little shady, at worst, just need to tighten this stuff up going forward. -
Yep. That’s really their only option right now. Ashby and mis over 40 pitches on Monday, priester and Quintana over 50 pitches today
-
Good news: it’s the guy who pitched the best this year bad news: it’s the guy who started game 1
-
8 scoreless from a bullpen that didn’t use uribe or megill. If this goes poorly here, you can’t say they didn’t deserve it.
-
The brewers were hitting for about an hour and a half, I went up to put pajamas on my kid and came down to Patrick already having two outs
-
7-8-9 in the ninth, though I’m sure we’ll see Vaughn at some point. Need strikes.
-
We can just blame the ump.
-
Seems like the game here
-
My god
-
Congrats to all the geniuses patting themselves on the bench for wanting the cubs to score more runs. Very bold call
-
Eh. That’s what Ballesteros is for.
-
This should be Turner.
-
Just find a way to do this with a one run advantage and three extra outs.
