Did Rizzo just get Bartman'd?

Yes. Hopefully they do not force this guy into hiding

Can already call this season a success but I'm hungry for more. Pirates almost did us another solid but fell just short. I think the Crew sweeps the Tigers. Can the Cubbies go 3-1 against the Pirates and Redbirds?

Really wish the D-Backs would just call it a season. If we do end up in the wild card game, I'd rather not face Kershaw....Though if the Cubs had to face him....

Plenty more work to do. But the rebuild that started only a couple of years ago if far, far ahead of schedule.  Couple that with the players they have under control for an extended period of time and it's realistic to believe the Crew will be contenders for years to come.

Especially if Jimmy Nelson comes back looking like last year.

That's the thing I keep kicking around in my mind. If the Brewers had a healthy Nelson for the pennant chase, I think they win the division. C'est la vie.

I don't expect that, but Roger Dorn will be a great addition to the starting staff next year. I expect more out of him than Freddy Peralta.

Isn't that the pretty boy third baseman who cheats on his wife?

In this scenario, do the Cards get their injured players back?

Counsel has used him in a lot of high leverage situations this year and has already said he will go back to a starter's role next year.

Depending on how it shakes out, the team in the NL I'd want nothing to do with right now, especially if you have to go to them, is Colorado.

They've won a lot in a row but I would still rather face them then the Dodgers, especially in a 1 game playoff.

I would want nothing to do with the Brewers after the 1 game WC if I were any other team.  Stacked with veteran hitters and the best bullpen in baseball.

I'd want the unproven zero experience brewers over the cubs, cards, dodgers or rockies honestly.

Lester MVP!

Kershaw pitches Saturday, Buehler Sunday.  Neither will pitch Monday (‘cept maybe Kershaw in a save situation).

Dodgers don’t scare me.  Brewers will have to play them either Monday or Tuesday.  Honestly, I’d rather take my chances against Maeda or Stripling in one game than have to face Ryu, Kershaw (even on 3 days rest) and Buehler four times in the NLDS.

I think Marquez has like 5 or 6 straight 10k (at least) starts, and an ERA of 2 over the last 6 weeks.  And he probably isn't even their best pitcher.

Hmmm.  That seems well, who knows.  But I think facing that bullpen in a 1 game situation would be tough.

Also I'd be pretty shocked in the Tigers won a game this weekend.  And similarly shocked if the Cardinals didn't.

That "unproven zero experience" Brewers team (Cain, Granderson, Gio, Mouse say hello) have won 10 of their last 11 series to close their division deficit to a game.

But I'm glad a few Cubs fans have come back after 2 big wins in a row.  It was awful quiet around here for a while.

Sorry mate, I had a surgery the other day and haven't been able to watch baseball very much I'm so sorry I didn't prioritize this thread more. But way to regulate who posts what when in this thread

Hope you recover quickly! Baseball is going to baseball for the next 3 days. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Cubs winning and Braves losing last night, clinched home field advantage through the NLCS for the central division winner.
