Cubs have won 21/26. Pirates are like 15-5. They are good teams. They are hot. The division is going to be close.

This pisses me off. If Matheny sits Piscotty or Grichuk on the bench and plays Jay instead, I'm going medieval on Matheny. He is not a "better" option than Grichuk/Piscotty. Both may be All-Stars someday. Jay will forever be a slap hitter. We need the upgrade not downgrade in CF.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Center fielder Jon Jay began taking batting practice outside this week but will have to have a second rehabilitation assignment for his injured left wrist. “We’d like to see him starting to get this in gear and give us an option (in center field),” said Matheny. “Tommy (Pham) is doing a nice job in center field but you always like to have Jon Jay back as a part of your club. When we get to the point where he’s feeling his strength is right and (the wrist) is responding, get him out, get him playing and get him back on the roster.”

Hopefully that 2-27 streak and less than .200 BA since the All-Star break is in the rear view mirror after a couple of days off. We need him to hit like he is capable of.

The Bucs and Cubs are getting screwed by playing in the WC. As the top seed we shouldn't have to play the team with the 2nd best record in the NLDS. The division would still have value as a home field advantage.

The top team in the league should get the benefit of playing the WC team that had to burn it's ace. That team, in a short series, generally has a decided disadvantage. In a 7 gamer, I'd agree with you because the #1 starter is still almost certainly going to get 2 starts (which is how most managers would handle that #1 guy anyway). But in a 5 game set, if the Pirates have to burn Cole in game 3, they won't be getting him back in game 5. I'd rather be the team that gets to face that squad at it's weakest than potentially have to deal with them in the next round now with their ace presumably back on regular rest and able to take the ball in game 1.

Clydesdales!
Going to see them now. Our local AB distributor won some kind of award, so they dragged the wagon and everything to town for 4 days. |
