[Chicago Here]

Wow, this may be the season. Alot of parity but our bullpen is the diffence maker.

[liveforoctober]

Is it a coincidence that our offense has come to life... coinciding with our 2b starting to hit a little?

[JohnBriggs12]

Is it a coincidence that our offense has come to life... coinciding with our 2b starting to hit a little?

 

And the catcher has started to hit too. Not coincidentally, Bandy is in witness protection.

[stalton]

I looked up Grienke's hitting stats. He is actually hitting 4 for 14 with 2 doubles.

 

Maybe he should take Goldie's spot in the order

[topper09er]

What was Yelich doing auto-taking an 0-1 pitch?

[Eye Black]

Did I miss something, why did Yelich basically concede the second pitch of his at-bat before Greinke released the ball?

[JosephC]

Am busy the rest of the night and won't be able to watch any of the ballgame. Unfortunate as I like the lineup that Counsell put together. Go Crew!

[stoutdude04]

Santana draws a wa...strikeout.

[wallus]

Santana draws a wa...strikeout.

 

"It was too close to take!"- Rock

[Eye Black]

With runs likely be hard to come by tonight against Greinke scoring Yelich following a lead off double seems extra important.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Way to go Shaw! Huge to get that first run on the table

[MrTPlush]

This ump kinda sucks. Villar would have a solid OBP if he would stop getting hosed with three balls.

[stoutdude04]

This ump kinda sucks

 

He's not...it's not good.

 

Villar drew the walk twice.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow that was a wide zone on Villar. He should be standing on 1st.

[young guns]

Ball 5, you're out!

[Fear The Chorizo]

That was terrible...not even close to a strike

[topper09er]

Shaw has hit 2 rockets tonight

[Eye Black]

Giving Greinke an expanded zone to work within is frustrating to watch.

[YelichPosse]

It’s frustrating when ball 3 right there for Chacín was a strike for Greinke - nearly the Maddux treatment tonight

[TURBO]

This is as good of a line-up as we can have with our current roster.

 

Nice to see Villar out of the doghouse...……………..for today.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Good to get the double play, but a bummer that it was not an inning ending GIDP

[jerichoholicninja]

This ump kinda sucks

 

He's not...it's not good.

 

Villar drew the walk twice.

 

Alan Porter is terrible. You can always tell it's him behind the plate because nobody calls strikes with two hands like he does.

[MrTPlush]

You guys hear they put in a humidor at Chase Field?

[Eye Black]

AJ Pollock was looking like a lock to be the National League’s starting CF in the All Star Game. Pollack’s unfortunate injury and subsequent 4-to-8 week absence will likely open the door for someone among the next tier of NL center fielders to take the starting spot. Likely contenders at this point include Tommy Pham (STL), Odubel Herrera (PHI), Lorenzo Cain (MIL), and Starling Marte (PIT).
