2018-09-04: Cubs (Montgomery) at Brewers (Miley) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 11-1]

[markedman5]

I say, empty the bench for defense. Get Cain and Yeli some rest. The last thing we need is a "Sunday" lineup tomorrow.

 

You aren't going to see a Sunday lineup tomorrow......

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It's too bad Taylor Williams isn't back up yet. This would be the perfect spot to let him go in and just throw gas.

[MrTPlush]

Rockie losing a 2-1 game late and the Dodgers are down early. Would be some huge losses if they come to fruition. Arizona also still in a tight one tonight.

With a day off Thursday and a chance to pick up another win on the division leaders, it would be a travesty to get the B-team tomorrow.

What is Maddon wearing on his wrist that says "suck"?

and it's a night game instead of the quick turnaround day game

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

The first 5 innings of this game went so quickly. Not so with the last two.

[phnxcrew]

I'm confused... why do the Cubs have such an awful bullpen?

[PinaMadness]

Yes, yes Maddon. Burn through your bullpen.

Yep. Off-day Thursday, it's all hands on deck.

September baseball at its finest.

They spent all their money on bad or injured starting pitchers.

I believe it's his "try not to suck" thing

I've never seen your signature before. Crom appreciates it. He laughs at your four winds

[tmwiese55]

Their closer is hurt too. But it's just the nature of bullpens in a way, you can't predict most guys year to year, it's so fluky

[bigredrobbo]

I'd love to think that the reason the game tomorrow is a night game on getaway day, is to stick it to the Cubs for their shenanigans with "rainouts" etc.

Fair enough. Just figured this a good time to get the bench some work.

[igor67]

I would concur on stealing a few innings rest for Cain and Yelich with the big lead and September roster

[LouisEly]

This is fun, embarrassing the Cubs like this.

[lcbj68c]

Baseball is fun again.

[young guns]

Oh hey, an rbi hit. Forgotten what those look like.

[bigredrobbo]

All Yeli does is crush dreams!

[igor67]

Heck pinch run for Yelich

[markedman5]

Pound these guys

There is no "B team" or Sunday lineup anymore, if there ever was one. That's been way overblown around here. No Moose or Pina tonight, does that mean tonight is a Sunday lineup?

 

Edit: Love the MVP chants starting to grow every day.
