Yelich missed triple crown by 1 RBI to Baez. Today's games count in regular season stats

These games will both come down to how deep these teams want to get into their bullpens. A loss today sucks but a loss tomorrow ends your season. The travel definitely favors Cub/Brewer Rockies could go from Col to LA to Milwaukee to Chicago in four days that's rough The Braves sitting pretty right now in that first round as is the winner of the cub/Brewer game Quintana owns the Brewers.....7-1 cubs Dodgers win 3-2

Same with Tampa short week road game.

He Gio and Rodon are nice pieces in a rebuild should all contribute in some sort for the next several years.

So last weekend we were debating beating the cubs for the higher pick. This weekend...if the Tigers get swept and the the cub lose 2 of 3 to the Cards, Sox fans have a little joy.....hopefully at the same time though the Sox lose 1-0 four times. In my world...the Brewers sweep, as do the cubs and the Sox win 3 of 4

The five best teams in baseball are in the American League...and Tampa may be better than any NL team. The cub may be the tallest midget in a shitty NL then get to play an AL team that will go through a real tough two week stretch. Cub could lose wild card game or go to world series just as easily.

Probably because of the second half of week one. not sure how many plays he may not have been in

I didn't do a deep dive on this but where did it say he cheated on her....while he probably did why couldn't he just have broken up and that's that?

Dodgers v Cubs wild card game would be media gold. as is Yankees v Oakland (Oakland Bay area is huge) Some big markets in these playoffs.

I think he gets traded to an NL team where he could hit and pitch an inning here or there. I would also think this opens the door to send him to winter league and try him more in spring.

Opens up a spot for Machado

I liked M&H but they seemed beyond bland...not quite as bland as Murph and Hubner (I like Hubner btw) but they were like listened to WBBM news radio. Haugh adds something more upbeat.

With Murphy now they don't even need him as Baez is a better SS so it will all work out for them in the end.

They play the cubs who need to win and Cleveland the next six. Nobody should gain ground on them and then 4 v the Twins. I could easily see a 2-8 finish to this season.

He has insane power. Even as a serviceable LF and the story is he is putting in a lot of work with Daryl Boston he is part of any rebuild. Wonder if there is any 1B talent there.

I could see JR or his estate selling his stake to Theo.

Well the race just ended. He'll get 85% of the vote. He's 71 years old wonder how long he will want the job for.

He leads in this category becasue he takes too many pitches with 2 strikes. He does not lead in the percentage of times an umpire blows the call. If you look at Tim Anderson above he is really getting jobbed and he has a right to say he gets screwed by the umpire. Moncada looks bad because it happens more often.

The guy was all over the place...huge clutch hits....great defense.....lot of infield pop ups

Cubs were off last Friday and Sunday...not in typical fashion and had a double header Saturday but they had two off days The one day trips to Atlanta and now Washignton are pains in the ass but with expanded rosters that mitigates it some. Why is Bryant starting in the outfield and why is wellington castillo in the outfield in a close game. Joe again looking to provide he is the smartest man in baseball.

He can't be slotted anywhere. There is no way you can go into a season with any faith he will even get through spring training and if he does he is day-to day for the rest of his career.

This is where this becomes usable information to me Of the 5 players his number only looks so high because of how many 2 strike pitches he takes. Judge is getting royally screwed as is Trout and potentially players who take less called strikes. The gross number of 49 seems really high but not when compared to others and then you don't know how many were borderline and how many were of the..."it's been a strike all day" variety.

In order to have proper context. How may strikeouts looking does he have?

He should be back on the DL by Friday. Why not hold him out the rest of the season, put him on the 60 Day DL and create a 40 man spot for him. Am I mistaken about how that all works?

Here are my hot takes. The Bears O line cannot run block. Seemed like very little room up the middle. How are the wide receivers gassed in the second half. That is a pretty big indictment of the coaching staff. Yet again they cannot appear to get open at all. Robinson looks slower than shit. The DBs were pathetic. I have to think they had more YAC then yards of actual passing. The second half coaching was abysmal on both sides of the ball and the play calling was mystifying. Pick up Cohen in fantasy football as he appears to be the number 1 option in this offense.
