2021-06-30: Cubs (Arrieta) at Brewers (Ashby) [Brewers win, 15-7 -- Cubs score 7 in 1st inning; Crew responds with 15 unanswered]

[sveumrules]

Kind of felt like we put the first nail in the Cubs coffin when we beat them in Game 163 back in 2018.

 

If they decide to sell at the deadline, this pending sweep might end up being the final nail.

The truly funny thing is that both Bryant and Rizzo would fit the Brewers' needs absolutely perfectly....

[PinaMadness]

Interesting tidbit from Levering just now. Four Brewers pitchers have had plate appearances today and none of them the starter.

[StearnsFTW]

I'm just glad the Brewers have Burnes on the hill tomorrow to start the Pirates series.

Interesting going forward when Wong is healthy. Peterson deserves to play, Urias deserves to play, Hiura has been better, JBJ has started to swing the bat in this series, who goes to the bench?

I’m sure CC will just continue to mix his lineups as he always does. He seems to do a great job continuing to get guys at bats.

Wong and Urias start everyday.

Love when history is made

I think Urias will do just fine.

[pacopete4]

15 runs and Yelich is 0-4 with 3 strikeouts.

It says so much about Urias that he didn't shy away or pout when we acquired Adames -- he made himself indispensable. This is so much fun.

This post is not to be overlooked. Well done.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

I did say that I wanted to be proven wrong!

[StearnsFTW]

What a fun game. I was thinking earlier how much fun it would've been to be there, but I probably would've been ejected before the grand slam for harassing Cub fans.

He really seemed to settle in right when that trade occurred. Maybe took a little pressure off of him.

[Nola Beery]

If you go to the game today, please report on Chorizo in the sausage race. I root for Chorizo every time, and his effort and results have been garbage in the games I have gone to. Unacceptable, and if it continues, I expect them to call up a Chicken sausage soon. Would even consider Impossible meat at this point.

 

This causeth me to laugh. HaHa.

[young guns]

CC is playing 10D chess. Not only did he know his offense was going to erupt so it didn't matter who he started, but he picked a starter he knew would give the Cubs a huge lead first just to twist the knife that much more. Simply genius.

 

Also this thread has been fun to catch up on once I got home after the 4th inning

[Oxy]

So if Cousins is such a huge Cubs fan, maybe he can go home with them and Rizzo/Bryant can stay in Milwaukee with the Brewers?

[John Jahahaha]

so they're just not gonna give him the bottom of the zone no?

I thought that trade was Stearns acknowledging his mistake and it would be the beginning of the end for Urias...could not have been more wrong and could not be happier to be wrong about it

[adambr2]

They are going to have to start watching Sogard's innings.

[markedman5]

Keep going until Sogard is pitching.

 

Yes…..

[Simba2020]

Maybe swing before the 5th pitch Robertson.

[JET15]

Sogard, pulling the string

[Nola Beery]

This is awesome. I mean, maybe not the Cub injury part, but with the backdrop of the first seven pages of this thread, it's fantastic. Gushue at first? What's a Gushue?

 

Gesundheit.
