Rickie cannot possibly be starting any more games in this series. Not after this nightmare.

 

Thank god for 3TO, and hopefully the bullpen can throw up a few zeros and they can pull off a circus act.

Brand new ballgame! All those close calls, miscues...all that crap is for whiners. None of that stuff matters now.

with the 2 bad calls, it should be 6-4 crew

hey now, Weeks isn't underperforming because he's never performed, according to Yost. so that means he's doing fine.

Counsell should be in. Seriously, if Yost has a brain, he double switches and puts Counsell in the 9 hole and the pitcher in Rickie's spot. That is a no-brainer.

Nice swing right through a straight fastball, seriously, the perfect spot to use Durham and let him hit lefty against Howry.

You're right here - regardless of that defensive play, why did we just trade for Durham if we're not going to use him as a pinch hitter in the perfect situation??

I think I heard a few boo birds for Weeks after that strikeout.

 

There were definitely boos and definitely more than a few.

You don't bench Weeks in this game. All it does is waste a position player before you need to in a game that could go extras. (One more error probably puts it on "need to"). But you have to think about making adjustments moving forward, at the very least in terms defensive replacemtn in late innings.

unfortunately, the Cubs won that inning.

 

Cubs 3 battles, Brewers 1 battle, 3 ties

 

But 4-4 on the scoreboard is all that matters.

 

Man, this has been one HECK of an opening game to this series! Win or lose, I'll be pleased with the overall play.

Weeks is so unbalanced in his swing. He's always falling back. Just watch him.

Don't worry, our next hitting coach will fix that. Skaalen is too busy slapping him on the ass and telling him he's doing a good job.
