2018-09-14: Pirates (Archer) at Brewers (Gonzalez) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-4]

[topper09er]

Well this is quite the all-Greek name matchup.

 

And now we know who has more chest hair

[tigerbrew]

Moose!

[TURBO]

Thames is just...…..not good.

[topper09er]

Thames is the second half version of Eric Sogard.

[pacopete4]

The great thing is Thames being bad isn’t a huge deal because of the depth.

[MrTPlush]

Thames isn’t going to be making a postseason roster...you can tell he just isn’t there mentally. Looks look in a lot of ways.

Cubs seem to win every single "skin of their ass" game that they play. Thanks for groving that pitch to Happ, David Hernandez.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Cubs escape with a 3-2 win. That Reds pen is so, so bad.

 

At least the Cardinals are down 3-0 late, and the Giants have an early lead on the Rockies.

I don’t think the Cards losing to the Dodgers is a good thing.

[young guns]

The more and more I think about it the less I want the Dodgers in the playoffs.

I do. I don't want the Cardinals anywhere near the playoffs.

"Seem tos" are seldom accurate. Didnt the Brewers just beat them 4 times in close games?

[tigerbrew]

As long as we keep winning our games, we can win the div.

Would face the Cards any day of the week over that Dodger team.

[PinaMadness]

Who here feels good with Soria in October?

[TURBO]

Soria just can't have a clean inning...

 

That trade may end up being be a total loss.

[wildcat83]

Have we used Soria more than what the Sox did? Seems like he’s pitched a lot since coming over.

4 times isn't accurate either. 2 of those 4 games were close.

My preference would obviously be that neither make the playoffs, but barring a great run from the Diamondbacks, at least one almost assuredly is in.

Well, the 11-1 game wasn't close. The 5-1 game was. Not to split hairs, but the Cubs have been scuffling. They got the last two close ones, sure. But they have lost their share lately. More to come I hope.

[PinaMadness]

Go Dodgers!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Who here feels good with Soria in October?

 

He's been frustrating to watch. Stuff is good. Always seems to get a couple easy outs, then gets in trouble.

[PinaMadness]

At this point Soria is just a ROOGY.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Perez may be frustrating to watch hit, but the guy is a + defender at a bunch of spots.

[KeithStone53151]

I think 2b is his best position followed by SS and 3b. He's at least adequate at 7 spots.
