2014-04-26 Cubs (Wood) at Brewers (Estrada), 6:10 PM CDT

[dlk9s]

way to go twirling your bat still when he throws the pitch weeks lol

At least he avoided twirling his bat and hitting a teammate in the face.

[jjkoestler]

K-Rod's change is so filthy right now.

[dlk9s]

TH speculating that Braun might be hurt because a) he bunted and b) he was removed from RF in the 9th.

[igor67]

Yeah wins

[topper09er]

Why wouldn't the Cubs challenge this, nothing to lose. Replay sucks, excitement sucked out of big plays

[yfinn6]

Castro is out. Ballgame.

[jjkoestler]

Winning is fun. The Brewers are good at playing baseball.

Technically, they're not challenging because they can't from the 7th inning on. This replay "comes from above."

[SRB]

Is it 18-6 now? Unbelievable.

[The stache]

Woo hoo! 18-6, and ESPN will have our game at the 55 minute mark of their hour long Sportscenter.

[SRB]

Woo hoo! 18-6, and ESPN will have our game at the 55 minute mark of their hour long Sportscenter.

 

Nah, they have to pile on Braun for hitting Segura in the head. It will be in the 5 minute mark. Zero mention of the Brewers winning though.

[SRB]

Updated on Segura: no concussion, no fracture, just some stitches.

 

Sounds like a day-to-day thing to me.

[BradWI]

Great, Braun's intercostal injury is back. Another injury to linger all season.

[cbustim]

Braun reportedly pulled due to intercostal strain.

[phnxcrew]

ugh really braun? I know he doesn't try to injure himself but could we have only one nagging injury a year please?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Tomorrow's lineup could look just a little bit funny. Nice to get the W tonight. 4-2 homestand guaranteed. Hope Peralta comes up big, and the Crew gets a sweep!

[fondybrewfan]

Going to my first game of the year tomorrow. At least our B lineup still looks better than the Cubs. Unless Braun or Segura go on the DL tonight that is an extremely short bench tomorrow. Yikes. Might need to have a couple pitchers ready for action as fielders or hitters

[brewmann04]

after a catch in Rf you could see he was twisting around and had some kind of Issue.

[RobDeer 45]

Well another good win but boy did we pay for it. Hope everyone is alright.

[wisniewski]

Well another good win but boy did we pay for it. Hope everyone is alright.

 

I agree. It's always nice to win, regardless, but this was a pyrrhic victory of sorts. We won the game, but with Jean's injury and Braun's strain it takes some of the elation away.

 

I also thought the Brew left runs on the base paths...again. I get the whole 'being aggressive on the base paths' strategy that is RRR's identity, but you can't keep leaving runs out there...good team will make you pay. That said, winning cures all and it provides a nice cover for mistakes and so forth.
