2018-09-08: Giants (Stratton) at Brewers (Gonzalez) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

19 games over for the first time all season.

 

I thought they were swooning in the 2nd half, though?

 

I'm growing more and more confident in this team each day. My confidence level was already pretty high to begin with.

Caratini slam for the scrubs

[torts]

St Louis lost, so at least there's that

[82brewcrew82]

Brewers win!

 

Cardinals lose!

 

Shuckers going to the championship!

 

.....and Victor freaking Caratini hits a grand slam to put the Cubs up 4-0 in game 2......can't have everything I guess......

Either way, we pick up a game in the loss column today.

[82brewcrew82]

Well, we ALMOST made it through an entire IGT without a snarky "I told you so" post.

[dlk9s]

I'm a terrible jinx.

 

Switched to Lopez's game in the 9th.

 

Pulled up the Cubs game on MLB.com right when Caratini came up.

Plenty of time for the Scrubs to blow it...

Brewers have won 8 of last 10......that will work

[jason21nl]

I’ll admit. I thought they were done. Can’t remember which game it was but they blew a big lead and I thought it was over. Not sure they’ve lost a series since. Incredible ride

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yelich has most definitely played himself into the MVP conversation. If the team stays hot, I imagine he'll be amongst the leaders.

Seems like a calmer, more methodical stretch to. This team may be clicking at the right time.

Our playoff odds just went flying over 90% I bet.

 

6 outs from a Dodgers loss to have us 3.5 games over the competition and 2.5 over the Cardinals.

 

88.4%, per espn's updated odds.

 

I’m an optimist expecting a Dodgers loss.

I never thought they were done but I really didn't like they way they were playing. They seem much more in command now and it's not just that they are winning.

I've been wrong a ton this season ... most consistently with having no belief in Wade Miley. It is awesome to be glad to be wrong.

 

This team is peaking at the time a playoff team should be peaking, and it's really cool to see.

We've got four more years of this guy, in his prime, for less-than-arbtiration salaries!

 

David Stearns is the real Most Valuable Playa

Yeah, that would qualify as a good trade. The Brewers gave up some great talent, so it isn't like the Marlins got hosed, either. That's the way trades should be. Talent for talent.

I want the Dodgers to win that division.

 

Would much rather have the Rockies come to Miller than the Dodgers.

[MrTPlush]

I don’t want the Dodgers to make the postseason period.

[SRB]

A one game playoff against Kershaw is not ideal.

[MrTPlush]

A one game playoff against Kershaw is not ideal.

 

Why exactly do the Dodgers get an automatic bid into the postseason? They would still have to fend off the Cardinals (who are ahead of them) and the D Backs who will be in the same position if the Dodgers loss tonight.

Sure, I don't disagree with your previous post and I hope they're eliminated outright. Just pointing out that the Dodgers are uniquely bad for us among the Wild Card contenders.

 

(Or should I say bad for the #2 Cubs? )

[TURBO]

Mike Fiers all over again.

 

Or Chris Bosio...

It was a great night in the IGT nonetheless.

Fun and refreshing to read through.

I think I used nonetheless right. So that’s a win.
