Milkman delivers Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 (edited) 14 minutes ago, fathom said: Pitching match ups really favor the Cubs. They miss seeing Strider, Burnes and Woodruff. Marlins get the three Brewers studs and Senga. That sounds like the makings of Miami fighting to get in/getting hot at the right time and riding it deep into the playoffs. Conversely, it has the makings of the Cubs backing into the playoffs and getting bounced quickly. Edited September 22 by Milkman delivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Marlins are very short on pitching these days. Really awful effort tonight vs Brewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 (edited) All four teams won. Just a matter of seeding. Looking like Phillies, Cubs, Diamondbacks (and Brewers) playing best of threes to get to Atlanta and LA. Need the Marlins to go 5-1 at Mets and Pirates Edited September 24 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the Padres are 0-12 in extras. I hate the runner rule, but that probably says a lot about that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Marlins 1/2 game back behind the Cubs with six games left to play....going to have to play a DH one of these next two days, and Marlins have already lost Alcantara for the season already. Battle of the 80's Superstation Teams continues. ATL already at 101 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Grady Sizemore late 2005 against the Royals that Sunday before the final week of the season that crushed the Indians/Guardians. Brant Brown dropped the ball. Suzuki didn't even get a glove on his. Sizemore's hit him in the thigh. Lost it in the sun cuz the weather god was on our side. Hurricane Rita veered east and the sun came out in KC that day. Remember the radio call? BIG VOICE: BRANT BROWNNNN ... DROPS THE BALL! little voice Oh no! BIG VOICE: HE DROPS THE BALL. little voice: noooooooooooo! Just remembered. Cubs made the playoffs that year.

caulfield12 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 DH today is going to kill the Marlins' pitching staff down the stretch. Going to have to hope for a split and Cubs' loss for a time with three to go. Already down 2-0 on an Alonso bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Mets put up 11 runs on the Marlins in the first game, now Johnny Cueto will face off against Kodai Senga. I feel like San Diego is gonna take the final spot at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
