I was writing this post in a defense that it's not that weird to wait that long and wrote that the Twins and Brewers haven't had that many elections during that time. Except the Twins had Puckett and Blyleven while the Brewers had Yount and Molitor. But I mean if you add Sosa - which should have happened years ago - that seems far less weird. -
Wow, what a win last night and way to salvage a White Sox series that had gone off the rails. I was driving all day so I didn't get to see it live but I bet you all woke up in a pretty good mood this morning! The Brewers are unsurprisingly getting knocked around by the Dodgers who once again look like the Dodgers, putting the Cubs only 2.5 GB and back into the third WC spot.

Game two vs the south siders, hopefully to better results this time.

Now begins a really soft couple of weeks for the Cubs before they face the Brewers. If they're going to gain ground, this is the time.
-
It's an off-day, what's on your mind? The Cubs are back out of a postseason spot but barely. FG still has them at 53% to make the postseason, which speaks to their remaining strength of schedule.
-
I agree with all of that. The Brewers have played over their heads a bit, as evidenced by their run diff. But those wins are now banked and if Milwaukee's health continues to hold, they're a better team right now than they were during those banked wins so their previous mediocrity may not represent who they are today. But the SoS favors the Cubs, which should make this a tight race until the end unless one of the two dominates in head-to-head matchups.
-
They’ve won four in a row. Are those previous five series more indicative of how they’re playing today? It feels like you’re being intentionally obtuse. I can tell all sorts of stories about both the Cubs and Brewers based on where I start counting.
-
Twins beat the Phillies.
-
I knew it was bad but seeing it laid out like that...
-
Just got back to the cabin and checked in to find… woof. Can’t win ‘em all, I guess.
-
My point is that you started with a series they lost to the Braves, not the series before that they won (or the series before that, which they also won), or the following series, which they won. Hence the arbitrary endpoints. You can almost always control the narrative of a baseball season by using specific endpoints.
-
The Cubs have a chance to sweep today!
-
Whoooooo, arbitrary start and endpoints are rad!
-
No one in the NLC is unstoppable, far from it. But the Brewers have the right pieces in the right places to keep things very competitive through September. Will they win the NLC? *shrugs* I'm not really even sure that matters. The way things are going, I think both the Brewers and Cubs make the postseason.
-
Welcome to NSBB!

That's a bold statement given that the Brewers just got Brandon Woodruff back after four months on the IL. I think it's going to come to head-to-head matchups but if both teams keep playing the way they have, both will make the postseason.

Rosenthal on how the Cubs became contenders
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, the 2021 Braves were nothing special for four months. And they mostly picked up scraps at the deadline, IIRC. -
Yes, the 3 seed hosts the 6 seed and the 4 seed hosts the 5 seed.
-
One down, two to go against the Jays. Yesterday, the NLC basically won out so no advancement happened there. A bright spot is that the Diamondbacks absolutely refuse to win and are quickly taking themselves out of Wild Card contention. But the best news is that the Giants are on a three game losing streak, bringing the Cubs within two games of the second Wild Card berth. If the Cubs can't take the division lead, getting into that second WC spot would be nice insurance.
-
Yeah, I find the Peacock presentation pretty bad. It feels like it's 15 years old.
-
No, overall I think the Apple broadcasts are middle of the pack, maybe a touch on the below average side at times. Same as Boog and Girardi. I like Boog just fine when he's not with Girardi.
-
Their presentation is typically Apple in its polish and simplicity. I REALLY like their visual presentation, though their on-screen odds system is garbage and their announcers hit-or-miss.
