We have the highest scoring offense in baseball and a super fun player threatening to have a top 2-3 Cubs offensive season in their 150 year history. We've, on multiple occasions, gone on double digit game runs where we were literally unbeatable, and it's not like those runs were driven by elite pitching that is no longer available. It's very weird that you wouldn't want to see that team get a good shot against a pool of very flawed WC teams and then take a shot against the better teams.
-
Yeah you can certainly criticize some of his individual decisions but can't imagine that's a unique Counsell thing, on the whole he's been fine. I'd be starting to look a little warily at Hottovy and the pitching infrastructure. You can split hairs on how much responsibility the coaching staff has to keep the pitching staff healthy, but there's been a lot of talk about getting unlockable pitchers and we haven't actually seen that turn into much success on the field.
-
Think he was talking about the brewers
-
We can score more than three.
-
I’m sure he was standing on second or pretty close and the ball never got more than a foot away from a brewer. In hindsight he was obviously hurt. Hopefully we just convert here.
-
We’ve got 11 outs left and we’re OPSing about 1400 so far this series so things might turn out ok still
-
I’m just worried about when they face the good pitchers from the good teams
-
Shaw is not a shortstop. Play him at second if you want (Pedro has been pretty mediocre there, eye test wise) but shortstop is the most important position and you want your best guy there. Busch is your best option, outside of fatigue concerns we shouldn't be just hoping to fall into a worse hitter hitting better for whatever reason.

I know this is the PCA isn't human thread, but pulled up that same leaderboard and realized that Seiya was 8th and Bregman was 15th on that list. Which is fun.

what a freak
-
oh ok, got it, my bad
-
Phillies: 47 runs in 6 games, 5-1 record Dodgers: 32 runs in 6 games, 4-2 record Braves: 5 runs in 3 games, 1-2 record, another series to come So I guess just hopefully not the Braves unless we score a bunch of runs against them in a few weeks, which is certainly possible given our most-runs-in-baseball offense?
-
We scored 17 runs yesterday am I taking crazy pills or something
-
what's not happening? making the playoffs? they were at 98.7% going into today.
-
this pitching staff is a horsefeathers embarrassment
-
I’m just happy all the same people who confidently predicted we’d be out of the playoff race by June get to dust off the old hits
-
horsefeathers. Did not realize that if we fall into a tie or, god forbid, go down a half game in the wild card top seed standing that it goes away and we can never get it back. That seems a little unfair but if so we probably shouldn’t let it happen.
-
He’s a top 5 hitter, defender, baserunner in baseball at 24 years old, and he’s locked up at $19m a year for the next six years. And we can’t discount this, especially after cheering for Kyle Tucker for a year: He’s probably the coolest player in baseball.
-
Choosing to believe Busch is unselfishly saving his two week hot streak that every single player has gotten this year for October
-
Too much smiling. Don’t they know we’re in a cold stretch
-
Pedro ruins the chance for the first ever grand slam cycle
-
I think that was (half) joke. Too many home runs, not enough opportunities to steal bases.
-
Bad challenge
-
I miss Dansby
-
Anyone know how Shaw did in Iowa, besides presumably enjoy the lack of any multicultural presence?
