2018-09-28: Other MLB Games

I really hope anyone who complains about BA/Rock is listening to this Cardinals broadcast...my god

 

I don’t know what’s worse - their TV or their radio broadcasts.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Our inability to secure a sweep vs. the Cubs earlier this month may have ultimately decided the division.

 

No, it was the 5 game pirates sweep and fluky 4 game sweep at wrigley in late April that makes it tough...I say fluky because weather conditions played just as big of a role as cub pitching in shutting the offense down. Look for times when the team you root for gets swept as primary reasons for big gaps in the standings...those are two of the very few times the brewers were swept in 2018

Cubs broadcasters are also bad. Super homers - at least Rock and BA acknowledge when we get a break with the strike zone.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah, it looks like a Cubs day. On the bright side, I never complain about a a STL meltdown. On the other bright side, we need to sweep the Tigers anyway. I am hoping both Colorado and the Dodgers lose tonight to force the potential wild card team to throw what they have at the division.

[BuckyBrewer61]

So since the Brewers clinched, the Cubs have added 3 wins to their record

 

[B-Train]

[sarcasm][/sarcasm]I will add this: The 2 games I was able to enjoy at Miller Park in July were what clinched the home field in the Wild Card Game for the Crew. We beat the Braves for a rare Sunday afternoon victory (just before our pre AS swoon) and we beat Kershaw on a Saturday night after the AS break. FTR, I just purchased WC game tickets for Tuesday night.

I absolutely cannot stand Ron Coomer, Mike Shannon & John Rooney. They are the biggest homers in the world and show a total inability to put their rooting interests aside and being blatantly biased. Case in point...I am watching the game and listening to the Cubs radio broadcast. In the 7th inning where Gyorko's error allowed the Cubs runners to move up. Bryant was a step and a half away from the base when Gyorko threw the ball and Coomer was saying this call is very close and that he might get awarded home. DUDE WAS A STEP AND A HALF AWAY. That's not remotely close. I don't mind rooting but blatantly misleading is the definition of poor announcing.

[bucks2281]

Coomer is absolutely insufferable but Pat Hughes is fantastic. Dan McLaughlin, on the other hand, not so much.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Cardinals are absolutely useless for anybody that needs them to be useful.

Our inability to get one more win at any point in the season may have ultimately decided this division. That's how seasons and wins/losses work.

 

The gane that sticks in my craw is the Cubs 8-run comeback against ATL is weird weather.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Probably forgone conclusion, but the NL Central winner has clinched the top seed, prior to this game actually. Cubs can't lose 70 games, so in the event the Brewers pass them, they don't either.

[adambr2]

That wasn't very MVPish defense by Baez.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If it comes to one game, the one that's going to burn my soul is the July 15th farce in the rain against Pittsburgh.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well, it is official. Crew needs a W tonight to still have a shot at winning outright.

 

Cubs have probably their two worst starters scheduled for tomorrow and Sunday, so at least there's that.

 

Playing LA and facing Hill (with Kershaw maybe coming out of the pen) is looking like the likeliest scenario right now. But things can change fast. Go get 'em tonight!

[nate82]

Not sure anyone posted this but MLB.tv is free all weekend.

How about the bote grand slam game against the Dodgers.

[illiniguy]

Bote hit a grand slam against the Nationals.

 

Sweating one game is ridiculous. How about when the Cubs had a 1 run lead in the 14th inning against St. Louis and instead of using Pedro Strop, Maddon went to Luke Farrell. Dexter Fowler proceeded to walk him off. It's funny because now Farrell has been released, but Joe has to be quirky.

 

Whatever team wins out will win the division.

Wrong thread

[Eye Black]

Giants have loaded the bases against the Dodgers in the 4th of a 1-1 game. A chance to do some damage against Ryu.

 

Edit: An inning ending double play has other ideas.

[wibadgers23]

So I’m guessing we want the Dodgers to lose at this point. For one to keep the Cardinals close and two so they have to pitch Kershaw and Buehler this weekend.

[young guns]

Win or lose they have to pitch Kershaw tomorrow. If they win they are still only a game back of the Rockies. Lose and they are still only a game up on the cards and even if they lose to the cubs again gotta try to win to clinch tomorrow.

[sdcheezhd]

Cards are pretty much done but still have to go all out tomorrow so that's good.
