    Good game. Good series. Best the Phillies!

    That’s why I would have been ticked off if they traded Henderson. He’s got some Maddux in him.

    Kinda crazy how this has all played out. He’s got the entire city wrapped around his finger and 3 weeks to essentially seal the deal for the MVP award. 🥇 Never would have guessed it.

    No surprise. They are the best team in MLB, no question.

    Dogder and Braves might want to talk about that. They both play in tougher divisions and their records are close. I wont take anything away from the Brewers but they do have a losing record against SF,, SD this year. Dodgers I think its 1 game over them and wish it was more

    Nope. I’m done brushing off Milwaukee. The only team that could prevent them from getting to the WS is themselves. I hope for memorable and competitive playoffs. And I’d love to be shocked and wrong.

    I believe the Dodgers were swept in 6 during the season last year and that didn’t help the Brewers get past them.

    I don’t know what type of method you use to determine what the strength of a division is but wouldn’t you start with records?

    Do you want me to name off the 11 teams that the Dodgers have a losing record against? You are welcome to your opinions but your supporting evidence isn’t very substantive.

    For what it’s worth I think the Brewers are going to be seriously challenged this postseason. I don’t think it’s going to be their offense. I’m worried about the young rotation.

    That HR by PCA - his 41st - was Megill’s 1st HR allowed this season. He’s having a sneaky great season. Anyways. That pitch was 100 on the outside middle edge and PCA pulled it.

    I wish PCA was Witt’s hitting coach. Bobby likes to look for a pitch middle-outside and hit a routine fly ball to right field. The idiot doesn’t realize two years ago when he was a great hitter that he looked for middle - inside pitches and hammered them to his pull side. Now he can’t hit. Not saying he can pull an outside pitch over the fence like PCA but wittless is trying to go oppo way too much and he sucks at it.

    Oh I know fate. The Brew can take care of themselves against anyone. The Cubs have given away more games than bobbleheads, so when I mumble "Here we go again" after the Yelich two-out hit, you know what I'm thinking. And then it happened. I should really be hitting the prediction market with this sh!t. It's ridiculous. I swear to you, I've called three such losses in the past several games. Geezus. :s

    One thing Cubs do have going for them is the rest of their schedule it soft and the Padres and Dbacks have to play each other again. None of that matters if theyre just going to lose more games than win like earlier in the year and theyve had a bad week.

    Yea if they keep playing like this theyre in trouble. The schedule for them is favorable and their teams chasing them its not but PCA cant win every game if they cant pitch

    As a defender he’s a liability and can barely reach a pop up to the outfield. He still has that throwing arm though. Remember him in the playoffs. Could do great things.

    I find the Red Sox to be one of the most detestable teams in MLB and that is in no small part to the monumental POS that is one Wilson Contreras. When he went to the Cards I was annoyed... Because Contreras is every bit as Molina as Molina was and he's really stupid to boot. When he was traded to the Red Sox I thought... Perfect cause F-Boston... He fits right in there with that cesspool and I hope the Cubs can sweep them, keep them out of the playoffs and then beat the whoever. I hope to see the Cubs in the NLDS.

    Boston got in today by virtue of a Houston defeat. They will get the Yankees in a little over a week from now. As for Contreras’s I can’t stand either of them, but when we talk about William I respect his game and talent, and the bat flips ain’t too bad.

    Meanwhile, PCA is a week away from leading MLB in home runs and that blows my mind to smithereens.
