Brewers/Cubs Series

Why does Murphy love Seigler?

I said it in the thread yesterday. His swing data is good, and better than the alternatives we have at third.

It's basically this. Seigler's been insanely unlucky.

At some point you gotta produce. I'll take my chances with Durbin over Seigler 10 times out of 10.

Good glove but we need a better hitting SS.

Replacing Perk with Chourio will be nice.

Every key break that went our way the last few weeks has deserted us these last 3 games.

Yeah this is what it comes down to. I'm trying to keep perspective here and I don't think this is all that bad although it's kind of a bummer to experience.

The number of low-probability plays they made just in the last few innings of last night's game (granted by GG-caliber defenders) is pretty high. We were barreling the ball pretty much all series right at guys or hitting them in spots that would be easy XBHs/HRs in other stadiums. Not to mention the amount of base-running close-calls that all went the Cubs way.

We were like 35-4 or something absurd that doesn't really happen in baseball before this, and we had like 4-5 guys hitting like MVPs in July/August. We went from a pretty flaccid offense to #1 in the league, that is an insane heater that has to end at some point.

Finally: the Cubs are a very good team, they were desperate, they dropped the clubhouse cancer from their lineup which clearly galvanized them a bit, and they got an insanely lucky break with the rainout/getting to play 5 home games in a row.

Get the win tonight and I'm content with how the series went given the circumstances.

We really decided to play our worst ball of the last 3-months in the most important series of the season. I mean, c'mon man....

There once was a series of five
Which the chasers relied on to thrive
But this math they abhor:
"Even if we win four
We're five back and just barely alive"

And I hope they just win three and get only a game closer after all their chest-thumping.

We better be trotting out the A lineup today. Massive difference between 5 up and 7 up. Guys can rest later.

[ReasonablySober]

It's more like four up considering they have the tie breaker now.

Hopefully Collins turns it around, he's been really bad. He only missed 3 games, it's not like he didn't play for a week or two. 0-11 this series, 1-8 the last two games of the Pirates series. He was great the rest of the month.

Tucker back in the lineup for Chi

It's Greg's birthday. **** him.

Turang, Collins, Lockridge, Durbin and Frelick are 1-21 off Imanga.

Contreras, Yelich, Vaughn and Ortiz are 12-27 (Ortiz is 3-7).

Perkins is 3-4 with a homer and 2 doubles. Surprised Lockridge gets the start insead.

I think alot of us need today to stay off the ledge. I certainly will feel a ton better about things if win today.

[VooDoo7]

Surely we aren't gonna lose 4 in a row.

Minor League ump behind the plate

I’m pretty sure we are. Priester due for a bad one. Bats are cooling off.

[Thunder Muscle]

Feel like the fun Collins story may be over.

Stay hot, Brice.
