Nice to see them lose the series. As a human, I was almost happy they won yesterday after that injury. Hate to see anyone get hurt like that.
I think magic number for the division is now 35.
Unbelievable how much their offense has regressed.
Did guys like PCA just get figured out? Are the locker room vibes bad? It’s gotta be something cause this is way more than a slump.
I think we’ve moved on from the mindset of “seeing if the Cubs lose” to “seeing if the Phillies/Padres/Dodgers lose” so we can secure that #1 overall seed.
I know it’s not true but it feels like it could be. . . Craig was holding us back.
Is it possible that CC was actually the one holding us back?
Or
Is it possible that CC was really the Bench Coach the entire time and Murph was the one who pulled the strings which made CC look better than he actually was?
Thought I heard a stat the other day that the Cubs haven’t gained even .5 of a game on us since they last beat us.
That can’t be true, but I believe it.
Wow quick look at that box score is interesting… Cubs; 6 hits, 1 run- Blue Jays; 3 hits, 2 runs.
Things are not clicking at the moment for that club, granted the Blue Jays are a superb team this year.
White Sox fan checking in. Keep giving ‘em hell boys! Rooting hard for y’all to go all the way!!!
Hahahaha loving their implosion
So our magic number is 35 (as stated in another comment), and both the Brewers and Cubs have 42 games left. So, the Brewers would have to go 17-25 and the Cubs 25-17 (or another combination to get the same game differential) to force a game 163
The Brewers have three against the Reds, and the Cubs have three against the Pirates. Let’s just for argument’s sake we both go 2-1. Still 8 games back, but a magic number of 32, and the above records needed for a tie become 15-24 and 23-16.
Then we have a five game series against the Cubs. With the following Brewers wins:
– 0: MN 32, 163 records -> 15-19 (0.441) vs 18-16 (0.529)
– 1: MN 30, 163 records -> 14-20 (0.412) vs 19-15 (0.549)
– 2: MN 28, 163 records -> 13-21 (0.382) vs 20-14 (0.588)
– 3: MN 26, 163 records -> 12-22 (0.353) vs 21-13 (0.618)
– 4: MN 24, 163 records -> 11-23 (0.323) vs 22-12 (0.647)
– 5: MN 22, 163 records -> 10-24 (0.294) vs 23-11 (0.676)
Sorry guys, I’m bored, and poorly coping with the off day.

Even when the Brewers don’t play, they win.
