  1. This is where they have been troubling lately. Bottom guys get on base and top 3 in order hasn't been able to get them home
  2. Ok, but the discussion wasn't about the SP being an issue on the field, it was about Hoyer not addressing the depth need there at the deadline.
  3. That cool but just because theyre pitching well doesn't mean they didnt/dont need SP depth going into the deadline. You're lying if youre going to say they didn't
  4. Yes it annoying more so because the Brewers with basically the same guys that they have had all season, have turned into the 1927 Yankees the last 6 weeks, then the Cubs just keeping their head above water during that span. What didn't help and aggravating is Jed not addressing the SP need at the deadline with someone that could of given them a spark but instead added a guy that had injury concerns, likely because he didn't cost much in prospects. That wasn't the time to take a chance on a guy and hope to fix his problem, and especially since he was the only SP you got to help a rotation that needed two SP to begin with.
  5. Was meaning more if the Brewers go on and take 4 or sweep that series, and the way they caught and separated themselves from the cubs in the second half. But yes, a playoff series which could be in the NLCS between these two could be a real fun watch
  6. Since July 1st cubs are 18-16 which would normally be ok, but for the Brewers being on a crazy run over that span, theyre 27-8, on a 10 game win streak, and have only loss 4 games since the ASB going 18-4. So if cubs had won 3 more games and Brewers loss 3 more over that span, there would be less freaking out with fans..lol So, who knows what will happen over these final 45 games for these 2 teams, and I dont know if the Cubs will win 7 more then the Brewers over this stretch but I dont doubt that the cubs will continue to play over 500 baseball and will make the postseason. Beating Brewers in playoff, how many times have we seen over the years especially since the WC started where the dominant team between the two playing during the season ends up losing in a playoff series between the two.. happens alot So, im not gonna tell anyone how to fan and yes the Cubs are just threading water the last 35 games but theres still 45 games left to play, including 5 against the Brewers, this series could likely determine whether or not the Cubs can still have a shot at the Division or pretty much bury them. But even if they get buried for the Division, they still have the WC and outside of a total melt down for them and the Reds or Cardinals playing like the Brewers, i just dont see either teams making up the 8-9 games theyre back in the loss column in just 45 games.
  7. This is what I felt a couple weeks ago, his OB and OPS were study because of mostly all the walks he has been taking. His Avg and Slg has dropped because hes simply not getting pitches to hit or drive anymore. I dont think after 2 months that finger is still bothering him and if it was/is then they should of taken advantage of the AS break and IL him the week before to give his finger time to heal instead of playing with it.
  8. Cause while the Cubs decided to start playing 500 ball the last 30 games, the Brewers chose to take advantage and started playing 800 baseball over that time. IF Cubs would have won 5 more and the Brewers loss 5 more then all would be good in cubs country 😏
  9. Theyll get in, I dont see this team totally collapsing nor do I see the reds going on any kind of run to overtake them.
  10. Exactly what needs to be done. once the season ends fire Hawkins and Jed needs to bring in a guy who will handle all players acquisitions, but i wouldn't be surprised if they just fire Hawkins and not hire a GM so TR wont have to pay a guy to have that title.
  11. If Berti cant steal bases, what the point of him on this team
  12. 2nd half Shaw is fun, why couldn't they fix him back in May or even June
  13. If they win the division that would be great, but today, id be happy if the cubs could just right themselves and finish the season strong with momentum heading into the playoffs. Do no worse then the no.1 WC spot and get to the NLCS and beat the crap out of the Brewers there as their luck runs out.😅
  14. PCA needs a full day off tomorrow with Monday off day, hopefully that'll help
  15. It worse when games are long and blowouts as they run out of things to really talk about so they come up with dumb stories
  16. Cool, we get this kid ump now lol.. Guessing someone told him to stand in the aisle instead of in front of everyone in the seats to be annoying 😅😅😅😅
  17. I just keep keep the volume low but yea it would be cool to just listen to the sounds of feeling like youre there. I cant remember if it was NFL or College, think it was College, but they did it back in the 80s for a game.
  18. Wait til ESPN tomorrow night, he'll probably be wired up 😅
  19. Offense came to play today Yippee Yippee 😅😅😅
  20. If they lose tonight, I'd be totally ok with seeing Berti, Castro, McGuire, and Turner tomorrow night and sit Happ Tucker etc . Give those guys 2 full days off
  21. Didn't even consider that Hawkins could be the fall guy as his contract expires after the season. So yes, maybe Hoyer should consider hiring a guy that will be the actual GM of this team and make the players decisions . 🤷‍♂️
