that was amazing. it was worth the brewers annoying first half just for this weekend.

an unbelievably terrible play from theriot blows it

Sure, because to this point he's had an OK year at best, and, as pointed out, he's been a disappointment this season relative to expectations. Yeah, it's great his ERA has been trending the right direction for a while now, but it's not like anyone has to dig deep to see where he's struggled or been noticeably worse this year. Like, I'm much more encouraged if he stops walking so many guys (and he did that last night, huzzah!) and gets that walk rate and WHIP down than really ever worrying about his ERA. He's walked 3 or less batters every game in his last 9 games and 12 of his last 14 (2 or less in 9 of those). He's largely been the same pitcher he's always been going back to late April. saying he's walked 3 or fewer batters every game is a lot less impressive when you see he's walked at least 2 in every start since april. he only has 1 more strikeout than walk in each of his last 7 starts. his flip/xfip was 4.63/4.28 in may, 4.69/4.21 in june. and 5.38/4.98 so far in july. has has .6 war in 18 starts after averaging like 4.5 over the previous 5 season. it's dumb to say quintana has sucked or whatever (i was one of his biggest defenders on here in the second half last season), but it's pretty easy to see why there has been some disappointment. there's a significant difference between quintana's 2018 and the rest of his career.

his dad blew it

i would not mind at all if the brewers paid a high price for a rental. my only fear would be that the orioles screw it up.

I will cry if magary ever leaves deadspin

cubswin11 did it in this thread, but i've seen you do it on other threads recently. i just didn't feel like responding to them, because i was happy about the cubs doing well. I believe you called me out first with the "unflattering bit" comment come on man, you're going to pretend like there was no intent with this comment? I was led to believe this team sucks, is a disappointment and is underachieving i'm running out of steam here, i just don't see the point in passive aggressive bait when everyone is happy

i actually think i'm nauseatingly romantic about it when they do well. your perception is wrong, and i think you're kind of looking for things at this point. look man, i understand how over the top negativity can be aggravating, especially when the team is on such a great run. so we blow off some steam by arguing about it in the game threads, and we move on to the next day. it seems like you are the only one carrying it on and making it into something else. you don't see the irony of you turning the good days into negativity over your resentment of negativity? How did I turn anything negative? I posted the Cubs record this year. If you took that negatively, it's on you. cubswin11 did it in this thread, but i've seen you do it on other threads recently. i just didn't feel like responding to them, because i was happy about the cubs doing well.

I'm not wrong. You have disappeared when they do well. You want to be miserable. i actually think i'm nauseatingly romantic about it when they do well. your perception is wrong, and i think you're kind of looking for things at this point. look man, i understand how over the top negativity can be aggravating, especially when the team is on such a great run. so we blow off some steam by arguing about it in the game threads, and we move on to the next day. it seems like you are the only one carrying it on and making it into something else. you don't see the irony of you turning the good days into negativity over your resentment of negativity?

you hate cubs related negativity so much that you use cubs wins to create negativity on a cubs message board and accusing me of disappearing during the good times is pretty wrong
-
pretty weird

this is an unflattering bit that you guys have going here Crying about everything definitely isn't unflattering, though. this is an unflattering bit that you guys have going here Since the Cubs won today and a lot recently I know you haven’t had too many chances to complain about much. I’m fine if you need to vent and complain about me and the Duker in the mean time while the #SuperCubs are here. being upset when the cubs lose vs using cubs happiness to be petty and stir up arguments

he's turning into soriano with elite middle infield defense
-
and he's on pace for 30 sb with only 2 cs
-
this was a good call
-
their run differential is solid. they are playing over their heads, but they're a good team.
-
the 2018 brewers are way better than the 2017 brewers
