Twins, Brewers, and very fond of the Padres after living in San Diego for eight years. The three places I've spent the most time living. edit: I guess technically I lived in Los Angeles longer than San Diego but I love San Diego and hate Los Angeles so there you go. -
I'm a Brewers fan so my opinion doesn't count around here but I'd be a lot more concerned about the Brewers than the Pirates over 162. The Brewers continue to hang in there despite losing what felt like half their roster for a month. If Woodruff comes back healthy, that rotation could look a lot scarier in a hurry.
-
Somehow, the Cubs at 32-37 are only 3.0 GB of the division lead.
-
I agree, I'm flabbergasted by just how ****ing wrong you are. 😄
-
Batting around is obviously ten batters. To go “around”, you need to get back to the same place you started and that requires the same batter to step to the plate.
-
Somehow, the Cubs are only 3.5 GB in the National League Central because, woof, the two central divisions are absolutely pathetic this season. This division is shaping up to be a jump ball between a bunch of people with broken legs.
-
In the Twins Cities, we could literally see the air yesterday. It's some of the worst air quality I've ever seen and I lived in Los Angeles for nine years and experienced more wildfires than I can count.
-
The Cubs are going for the sweep! Also, are you Chicagoans getting the absolutely atrocious air quality we have in Minneapolis right now?
-
Yeah, the clock is ticking and this entire division is reeling. If the Cubs can make a run at .500 over the next month, they can be buyers at the deadline. If they don't, hard to envision anything but selling.
-
I don't know anything about Bido but at a glance, he looks like organizational fodder. He's 27 years old, has spent parts of three seasons in AAA, and owns a MiLB ERA of 4.40. Looks like the good matchup for the hometown team tonight.
-
The Pirates are in first place. It's June 13th.
-
Sweep the series, get out of this west coast trip with a decent record.
-
The Pirates are in first place and the Cubs are fighting the Cards for the cellar. Baseball is a ridiculous game and nothing should be predicted, ever.
-
Is this west coast trip over yet?
-
Given the behavior of those two ownership groups over the past few years, I find it very unlikely they spend even as much as the Brewers do right now.
-
Two ugly losses in a row, hopefully the Cubs can salvage a win in this series before moving on to San Francisco.
-
I tuned out with the Cubs up 4-0 and woke up to... well, you know.
-
That’s Cuzzi’s MO. As a Twins fan, my hatred of him runs deep. He made one of the most egregious fair/foul calls in postseason history against Joe Mauer and then basically won the game for the Dodgers a few weeks ago with Alex Kirilloff at the plate. I don’t hate umpires. The new ones are statistically quite good. But the old guard needs to be thrown out on their asses.

A week ago I might have picked Steele over Stroman but alas, "forearm tightness".

A rundown on upcoming features

How do others feel about this? Frankly, I don't really care that much, the reason we don't have it enabled is because deleting posts has broken threads in the past as one user rage quits, usually after losing an argument badly. -
The Angels were my local team for close to a decade. I really enjoyed the team through the 2000s but watching their continued ineptitude through the 2010s as they wasted the elite talents of Trout and Ohtani became too much to handle anymore. But hey, they're pretty okay this season. That probably won't last. But they're still an interesting, dangerous team, as would any team be that gets ~15 wins out of two players every season. Thankfully for the Cubs, they still can't develop/maintain pitching to save their lives. Tyler Anderson, journeyman who resuscitated his career with the Dodgers last season, is once again a bad pitcher now that he has moved 20 miles south to Anaheim. This won't be an easy series but it is one the Cubs can win if they play even moderately well.
-
This may all be true but I will never, ever pass on a chance to bash Phil Cuzzi.
-
This is what surprises me so much about conversations about the Cardinals. So many people seemed to ignore the fact those two guys were worth what, like 12 wins last season? And they’re both well into their 30s. A *good* outcome is them being worth -4 wins this year compared to last year.
-
Just checked FG and they're giving the Cards 18.2% chance to win the division, which tracks with my expectations. But I still think the Brewers are clear favorites. They've gotten really lucky during this injury stretch by playing well over their run differential but that's a good thing for them. Those wins are in the books and a vastly different (and better) Brewers roster should be on the field a month from now. Of course, sometimes snakebitten teams remain snakebitten.
-
At some point, the devil magic runs out. Betting on continued devil magic after the cluster that team has been this season seems like a longshot. It looked like they were going to make a run a few weeks ago but they're back to being 3-7 over their last ten. At some point, a bad team is just a bad team and it's not as if the Cardinals were free of concern going into the season (aging position players, shaky af rotation, etc). Sure, it's possible they rebound but I wouldn't put their chance at the division above 20%, if even that.
