I have the pleasure of watching Pete fucking Kozma play in Milwaukee today, for the tigers. His obp is .225 and he just slammed a double to the gap
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 30 September 2018 20:28 (five years ago) link
What in the world are you supposed to make of this? On a day where he needs two HR for 50, the A's pulled Khris Davis after two hitless AB, leaving him at .247 for the season.
― clemenza, Sunday, 30 September 2018 21:12 (five years ago) link
Is there a betting market on him hitting .247 again this year? I smell foul play
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 30 September 2018 21:16 (five years ago) link
And I’m not referring to Davis’ plate discipline
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 30 September 2018 21:17 (five years ago) link
what i make of that is that they're resting him for the wild card game
― mookieproof, Sunday, 30 September 2018 21:34 (five years ago) link
With a chance to hit 50 HR? Why did they even start him in the first place then?
― clemenza, Sunday, 30 September 2018 21:54 (five years ago) link
eh, maybe if he hits one in his first couple of at-bats they leave him in
― mookieproof, Sunday, 30 September 2018 22:11 (five years ago) link
and it appears we have two NL Monday tiebreakers, at 1 and 4pm ET

The AL wild-card game isn't until Wednesday. Sorry, I must subscribe to KM's vast right-wing betting-market conspiracy.
― clemenza, Sunday, 30 September 2018 23:14 (five years ago) link
so yelich basically needs a two-run homer to win the triple crown
when did we last have multiple games 163?
― mookieproof, Monday, 1 October 2018 01:57 (five years ago) link
he needs that, plus baez and arenado not adding on to their respective RBI and HR statsthere have never been multiple games 163 before

curious what these teams would do if someone jumped out to a big lead early
― frogbs, Monday, 1 October 2018 14:15 (five years ago) link
i am very worried about the brewers jumping out to a big lead early, given their bullpen. the cubs bullpen has been unreliable lately so they'd need to get a pretty big lead before i felt like i could relax. quintana starting for the cubs is not giving me much hope, though he's had success against the brewers
― na (NA), Monday, 1 October 2018 14:30 (five years ago) link
Keeping Hamels for the potential WC game or Game 1 is smart.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 14:57 (five years ago) link
i appreciate the fact that the NL playoff team to miss the division series will have to lose two in a row rather than one. but it's kind of weird that all four teams have a better record than the braves
teams with positive run differentials that missed the playoffs: rays, cardinals, d-backs, nationals
xp do u mean lester
― mookieproof, Monday, 1 October 2018 15:03 (five years ago) link
Yeah the Rays, 7 games behind the Wild Card, has the same record as the Braves.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 15:05 (five years ago) link
yeah i know why they're using quintana today, it just makes me nervous.
i think i have more confidence in hendricks than in lester or hamels right now but that might be insane. presumably they'd all be available to pitch parts of a potential wild card game.
― na (NA), Monday, 1 October 2018 15:07 (five years ago) link
Home/Away splits don't favor Quintana.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 15:40 (five years ago) link
In any case go Bru Cru.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 16:49 (five years ago) link
i presumed this game was on ESPN Radio, but the NY OUTLET HAS SOME JERK YOWLING ABOUT FOOTBALL

Quintana's been pretty great this year vs. Milwaukee though
― frogbs, Monday, 1 October 2018 17:09 (five years ago) link
been pretty hot over the last month as well, no?

man Baez is fun
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 17:45 (five years ago) link
no Cub hits thru 4
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Monday, 1 October 2018 18:11 (five years ago) link
if he can get through 6 I'll feel a lot better. Hader hasn't pitched in a couple of days, could potentially go 2 here
― frogbs, Monday, 1 October 2018 18:19 (five years ago) link
ESPN’s sound dude has lost control.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 18:20 (five years ago) link
wow Rizzo murdered that one
― frogbs, Monday, 1 October 2018 18:21 (five years ago) link
yelich
― mookieproof, Monday, 1 October 2018 18:31 (five years ago) link
Project wolverine going great.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
can anyone tell me which broadcast team is the least bad here? i'm switching between the two feeds and I'm leaning towards the Brewers guys.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 1 October 2018 18:43 (five years ago) link
Yelich on deck for a good spot.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:17 (five years ago) link
Rooting for the beyond epic three run homer from Yelich.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:25 (five years ago) link
darn.
but then Braun hitting a homer now would be hilarious.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:29 (five years ago) link
why on earth was braun running there
― mookieproof, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:36 (five years ago) link
It was supposed to be a delayed steal of home?
Why risk running yourself out of a big inning like that? Brutal overmanaging there.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:39 (five years ago) link
i knew things were going to go bad when brandon kintzler came in to pitch
― na (NA), Monday, 1 October 2018 19:40 (five years ago) link
Aguilar hits into a ton of DPs so the steal makes some sense
― frogbs, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
anyway if Hader & Jeffress can't get it done then its not meant to be
― frogbs, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:43 (five years ago) link
really can't pull for Milw w/ Hader around
don't really like any NL teams aside from LA (for Kershaw and Puig)

ok i'm getting nervous now. 3 more!!!!!!
forgot what this feeling was like
― frogbs, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:50 (five years ago) link
C'mon Morbs, the Pirates are loveable. xpost
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:51 (five years ago) link
i find milwaukee pretty likeable except for hader and braun
― na (NA), Monday, 1 October 2018 19:52 (five years ago) link
Cain, Granderson, Yelich, Perralta, Chacin, Thames, Davies, Shaw are all very likeable players.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:54 (five years ago) link
lol had no memory of Granderson ending up there

first career four-hit game for arcia
― mookieproof, Monday, 1 October 2018 19:58 (five years ago) link
i do wonder what percentage of this brewers team was there a year ago
― na (NA), Monday, 1 October 2018 20:01 (five years ago) link
was really expecting baez to swing at that 3-0 pitch
― mookieproof, Monday, 1 October 2018 20:06 (five years ago) link
great at-bat tho
― mookieproof, Monday, 1 October 2018 20:09 (five years ago) link
Congrats frogbs, hoping the Brewers make the World Series.

Collective heart attack when the camera zoomed way out on that Bryant fly ball
I wonder where Jeffress was? Wasn’t even warming up
