Cody Reed will go at least 6 innings. -
Hawk Harrelson thinks it does.
-
Last winter, I would of assumed this pitching line because the Cubs already had an 8-9 game lead in the division on September 14.
-
Maddon better let him start the 9th He will bat with the bases loaded And make contact.
-
If someone gets on, I would let Deunsing pinch run.
-
How many popouts to SS in shallow left or hard GO to 2nd base do you think?

A side effect of this constant sh!tty offense is that it leaves basically no room for error for the pitchers. That's gotta be burdensome over a long stretch, right?
-
Unless they don't.

It’s amazing how much better the Brewers offseason moves worked out than the Cubs :mrgreen:

No offense to Duke, but what is really so amazing about what he’s predicting? He’s got a 50% chance of being right? They’ll either win the division or they won’t. What am I missing? That he’s being one of the only reasonable people in here instead of being a doom boner making wildly pessimistic proclamations about the team now and moving forward. Yes it sucks they aren’t playing well and we’re all pissed, but they’re still a plenty good team who’s had to overcome horsefeathers before and knows how to figure it out and they still have a 2 game L column lead with like 16 games left. It’s not like we’re 5 games back. I’m going to trust the track record of most of these guys being good to great players figuring it out, at least enough of them, than buying in to them all of the sudden being awful in arbitrary sample sizes. Get to the next off day with a lead. That’s great. But it’s still a 50/50 proposition. Doom boner, pessimism, whatever doesn’t matter. They’ll either win the division as Duke predicted. Or they won’t. It’s not like Duke is doing something special other that sticking with he prediction he’s made all season. Again, no offense to Duke. He’s a smart baseball guy, and he’s very optimistic. But he’s not actually doing anything more than making a statement that he has a 50% of being right and a 50% chance of being wrong.

It's not that great of a performance to pick the team with a lead to hold onto their lead over an inferior team. Nah, man. You aren't giving yourself enough credit. If they hold onto this, I don't care what teams they hold off, you are going into the Hall of Fame even before you retire. This isn't a head to head type race where everything is equal. I hate when people use the tired thing as an excuse, but there is a good chance it's real. And it isn't getting better any time soon. Add in injuries, etc., and if you are right about this, it's a lot better call than just picking the more talented team. No offense to Duke, but what is really so amazing about what he’s predicting? He’s got a 50% chance of being right? They’ll either win the division or they won’t. What am I missing?

I like Maddon’s strategy of limiting the relievers pitch counts tonight. Keep ‘em fresh for tomorrow and the weekend. You really don’t want to burn Kitzler and Deunsing in a loss.
-
What are the alternatives?
-
Isn’t really going to be anyway, right? Although I’m sure someone will post “walk off in the 9th!” :D
-
They will. And proclamations will be made that the slump is over.

I love these "prediction" posts. :lol: Eventually someone will be correct. :D
-
A little bit of Chili will do that apparently.
-
And how hard an out is hit matters? Yes hitting the ball consistently hard matters I didn't say anything about hitting a ball hard consistently. Of course that matters. Hitting a ball hard for an out is still an out. And how many of their hard hit piss rockets were hits tonight?
-
Knebel has been pretty decent since his return from the minors (small sample size, I know).
-
Sure, they're making great contact....for outs. A bloop single is a line drive in the score book. A rocket line drive out is an infield pop fly in the score book. Good thing nobody cares about how something looks in a score book anymore And how hard an out is hit matters?

FIFY

Brewers have won 6 of the last 9. And how many would the Cubs have won but for the shutout? Disco only mentioned they're not hitting, which has been the trend against the Brewers this season. This one is a tad different. We’ve hit 5-6 rockets right at people. Not much else you can do Sure, they're making great contact....for outs. A bloop single is a line drive in the score book. A rocket line drive out is an infield pop fly in the score book.

We're 11-7 against them and have shut them out 6 times. Brewers have won 6 of the last 9. And how many would the Cubs have won but for the shutout? Disco only mentioned they're not hitting, which has been the trend against the Brewers this season.
