Yep, he’s due for one of those shining Q games he has ever so often. 

hope not.

Go woot for one “your” 14 other teams and leave us the hell alone! 

Can't be true. Only 10 teams make the playoffs. One is the Dodgers. So, to be fair, I think he only has 8 other teams for the remainder of the season.

True!

Big day today. I want to be optimistic, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I am a bit concerned. Let’s go Cubs!

I'm about as concerned as I can get.  I think this game will be very telling.  The Brewers are a hot team right now, the Rockies and Dodgers as well.  A wild card game, and we could be one and done.  Better hope the bats show up..... That's the biggest concern to me.  The pitching is what it is..... Serviceable.

Milwaukee’s starter has a 1.59 ERA against the Cubs this season in 4 starts.

As you can from this thread.

We'll be aight.  Quintana has a career 1.60 against the Brewers, that includes 6 starts this season.

The most important thing for Cubs bats is singles, doubles, & base running.  Don't swing for the god damn fence every pitch!

It really is amazing that they haven't quite figured that out.  They can all hit the ball out of the park when making good contact.  Grip and rip hasn't exactly played all that well this season.  It's feast or famine.  

Gtilley8

Nothing like jumping right out of the gate with the bats real quiet.  Some decent contact in the first inning....but nothing since.  Got some vintage Baez K, and a nice Hayward rollover to first.  

HesCalledDyer

Vintage Baez swing on ball 4 on a  3-0 count. MVP my ass.

HesCalledDyer

Imagine that, a fucking bunt to advance the runner.  Take notes, Joe!

HesCalledDyer

Of course, I guess it doesn't matter when you don't have runners to advance.

HesCalledDyer

RIZZ ON ME BABY!!!

HesCalledDyer

Here we go, over-Maddoning. Game over.

Let’s go to the bullpen in a 1-1 game with Quintana pitching well. Hmmm. Obviously I get the righty-righty matchup with Braun coming up, but still. A bit of a head scratcher to me. 

HesCalledDyer

Well, at least we got Chacin out of the game now, too.

I wonder if Maddon ever heard of bunting to advance the runner with a man on first and no outs. Nah...let Contreras swing away and ground into a double play. WTF 

HesCalledDyer

God DAMN it, Baez!!! FFS!!!

HesCalledDyer

Come on boys!!  We need one run and 6 outs.  Ah one, ah two, ah three...   TAAAAAKE...

Dude can't stop himself from swinging like that.  Pulled his head and swung for the fences.  Unreal.  And we should have had Willson bunt - what the hell was Maddon thinking?  This should be a 2-1 game.

This!! 

darwinstheory

Well, shit.

This is where Justin Wilson comes in, walks a couple and gives up a 2 RBI double.

HesCalledDyer

I swear Maddon is dumber than fucking Trump sometimes. WIlson???????????? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????!!!!!!!!!

HesCalledDyer

No sense watching this anymore. WHAT THE FUCK MADDON, SERIOUSLY???? How is this fucking bum even on the god damn roster??!!!!!!

HesCalledDyer

This is ALL Wilson ever fucking does?  WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY do we EVER use him????

Gtilley8

just as bad to miss a pitch and give up the first base hit......then get yourself down 3-0 and let the guy smack a double.  Terrible positioning by Bryant.  Need to be 10 feet off the line there in a no doubles defense.  Plenty of opportunity in this game and couldn't come through.  I'm not optimistic for the rest of this game.

darwinstheory

Or the "postseason".
