Jay Kirk Baseball Thread since 2017: The 2021 season, Dodgers Repeat?

[2006Coltsbestever]

7-1 Cubs on to the 9th

[2006Coltsbestever]

8-1 Cubs, the MVP just homered. Bryant now has 7 HR's in 33 games, not too shabby! On pace to hit around 35. He had 39 last season.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Maddon is funny, making Pitching moves up 8-1 . Bryant is now batting over .300 on the season too, remember when he started out like 0-15  

[2006Coltsbestever]

Ball game, 8-1 Cubs win. 17-16 on the season, much needed baby!

[HOZER]

Yes they sure needed that win....lets get some more!!!!!

 

Hadn't flown this for a bit.......

 

 

 

[PrincetonTiger]

Looks like Rizzo gets the day off

[HOZER]

I wonder if his arm is bugging him? A lot of tweaking to the lineup, Bryant will be RF again, I know it's just temporary, but I prefer him at third. In Madden I trust.

[PrincetonTiger]

I have a feeling Jeimer Candelario will be the next Ben Zobrist

Cards came back to win 6-5, doesn't shock me. They are playing really well right now. Cubs still up 5-0.

Yes they are Sierra who was called up from high class A for the OF has made the most of it , blazing speed , causes problems for defenses, and was a major part in that comeback . Fowler drove him in for the winning run. They have not used Fowler in the field yet has been throwing on the side. They are not rushing it and letting shoulder get back to normal. He is on the bench as a hitter. The Cards are deep in the farm , Sierra was not the best option but was already on 40 man roster. If not for that it would've been Bader or Cunningham. Jed Gyrko has settled in at 3rd and probably has won that job. If he keeps it up I can see them signing him longterm.

In a lot of respects these 2 teams are very much alike. As you said before they are both very capable of running off long winning streaks Cards have won 6 straight on the Road. Some didn't realize they had the best road win % in baseball last year and that's what puzzeled me why not at home.

[Jay Kirk]

When its all said and done I see Tommy Pham staying up and would've been at start if Healthy.

[Jay Kirk]

Sierra will be a Vince Coleman type player.But very young.

[Jay Kirk]

One Thing also helping the Cards is every one of the Starting pitchers can hit and are.

[Jay Kirk]

Be back later enjoy the Cubs and Rockies.

I try to remember that. I saw someone wearing a t-shirt with your mantra written on it. I took a picture and thought of posting it but it was too big.

 

So, the Mets lost one this afternoon. In the 7th, I checked the score while I was at work. I think it was 3-2. I think the closer gave up 4 runs in the 9th. We lost 6-5.

 

I think the Mets are off tomorrow and play the Brew Crew on Friday.

Cubs and Cards are off Thursday too

Yes. They have been hitting a lot better since Cespedes has been out. They are less reliant on the home run. 

 

We were about to get the sweep today. The closer gets the double play grounder but the 3rd baseman tries to rush it and makes the error that leads to 4 runs. Ugh.

 

Let's see how they fare this weekend.

It will be an interesting series. Cards are red hot and the Cubs are slumping. Baseball is a game of hot steaks, Cubs may catch fire this weekend and the Cards may struggle, who knows? This season has been real up and down regarding many teams. Anything can happen this weekend.

What did his girlfriend do, hit him with a frying pan upside the head

[Jay Kirk]

Cards ended up winning the wife and I went to bed and were finishing game but didn't see end Got hammered by a storm about 10.45pm power went out we went out to go to work tree fell on top of power line covering drive no other way to get out . If that wasn't bad enough had attached line running across ground right in front of wifes car and across the hood of my car. So we were going nowhere till power company got there. Just got power back at 8pm. More of Terre Haute hammered as well may be up to 7 days till all power restored.

Sounds bad up there

 

 I am somewhat shocked we didn't lose power since most of our Power comes from Central Indiana even though one of the world's largest Coal Power Plant is about 10 Miles away and Own by our Provider
