This was a general thought, mostly impressive at bat.
-
Please sell high on Morel this offseason, whatever 'high' means
-
Lol tied?
-
Eh. I’m just coping too. Having been a fan of this team my whole life I’d never even dream of going on one of those ‘last wild card to the world series’ runs. It was going to end at some point. They gave us like, what, 50 games to be emotionally invested in? I’m not going to be super mad that it wasn’t 60. But you’ve got people in here who seem like they would call for PCA and canario in game 4 of the NLCS if we were down 3-0.
-
I mean this is just dark. Playing game 160 while still technically alive and people are calling for them to basically concede the season to give PCA and canario 8 at bats.
-
No one in the world hates the cubs more than this game thread right now
-
(PCA should maybe start next year in AAA)

2023: 28-18 2022: 28-23 2021: 21-15 2020: 11-5 2019: 27-18 2018: 33-19 2017: 25-22 Which is a preposterous run. I'm still Team Luck/Variance. But, in all honesty, started doing that figuring I would prove you wrong and was badly mistaken.
-
Nah, it was worth it. 15 teams in baseball don't even stick around long enough to get a gut punch, 14 teams get one at some point in late September/October. That Labor Day game was incredible, the Giants series was great, Morel against the Sox, that stretch where it seemed like Azlolay was closing out every game and tweeting from the mound. A ****** couple weeks, and you couldn't have scheduled them much worse, but doesn't cancel out how fun the summer was.
-
He says, in the cubs game thread
-
And it’s 2-1
-
And it’s tied
-
Yeah personnel wise, I can’t really think of a decision made that yielded good results, besides fixing their own mistakes with their early season cuts and I guess Wicks. One good week of Jeimer and that’s about it.
-
yeah that's probably it, good call
-
Only real hope in terms of the Braves starters is that between Acuna hitting 40/70 and the Braves clinching home field at least through the NLCS, maybe they all decided to go out and celebrate and were given the day off. Lovely that this is where we're at.
-
I know people are going to pin that one quote on Ross until opening day next year, but the fact is that Jordan Wicks has gotten plenty of run here, Luke Little didn't really show much in his chances (and really, would that have been the difference), and the offense has been fine (4th in offensive fWAR in September) and Canario and PCA have combined for one good swing and a whole lot of crap play this month.
-
Guys, all these dudes who you have issues with Ross using....they're, at best, marginal major leaguers. Here's the problem, the other options suck at least as much, if not worse. It's not a full major league roster. Needed a full go approach to a playoff run or a lot better health luck.
-
It's either a good team that has been mismanaged, or an awful team that Ross got a 500+ record for the year. Probably can't be both. Or its just an average team with an average manager that was constructed to kinda give a half measure of a shot this year and it came back to bite them.
-
Yeah ok this might be worse somehow?
-
I can't even really comprehend how much fun it would be to have Acuna on your team.
-
53 year old Jesse Chavez coming off the 60 day DL a week ago to give them a reliever with a 1.42 ERA in 30+ innings this year. Yeah why not
-
Yeah, up comes their 7 hitter, just a solid defensive catcher with 20+ bombs and an .847 OPS. Just relentless
-
Why is this some guaranteed stolen base from a guy with 20 on the year? Whatever, we got out of it. Ross is going to pinch hit Stroman for PCA if it gets to him.
-
The braves we're playing right now are magnitudes better than a brewers team with everything to play for, much less a brewers team trying to set up their rotation for next week. It's doable if we have anything else.
-
A spark for what? Adbert will see a sweet catch and his arm will magically heal?
