2021-08-10, Game 1: Brewers (Peralta) at Cubs (Steele) [Brewers win, 4-2 in 7 innings]

[KeithStone53151]

Peralta on pace to finish this one, assuming the Brewers can score before the 7th inning.

What’s with the constant glitching with Bally’s? It’s awful.

Steele is on pace to go 7 innings in both games.

 

Another nondescript lefty starter mesmerizes the Brewers.

No glitches with the Bally feed on the MLB app. Probably your provider

We’re going to lose this game, aren’t we?

[pacopete4]

It is depressing to hear a .772 OPS split against RHP by Yelich be described as "solid".

 

I wonder what league average is. I’d bet it’s lower. I know what you’re saying but I don’t thinks it’s nearly as bad as we all think right now.

 

I think it is totally fair for fans to measure Yelich by a standard higher than “average”.

 

If he’s higher than average, what’s that make him? …. Above average. If he’s that, I’m fine with his contract as expecting MVP numbers probably wasn’t realistic. Find a bit more power and hit a bit more against lefties and he will be alright.

Peralta is leaving too much over the plate against these scrubs.

How about MLB LH hitting corner OF vs RHP? That would probably bring Yelich even closer to average.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

More bad defense by Garcia.

 

See if Freddy can get a big K here.

[JET15]

DP, please

[wibadgers23]

A base hit here and this baby is probably over.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wouldn't be a Cubs series without Contreras leaning into at least one.

[pacopete4]

Contreras got hit? That’s too bad.

[KeithStone53151]

Oh wow, no hissy fit this time. Contreras has grown up...?

And then glowering about it...

[wibadgers23]

Is Ortega going to be a new Brewers killer?

I kinda suspect the Cubs will throw at one of our guys in the next few innings. They certainly don't care about winning right now.

[adambr2]

God dangit Freddy. I don't even know if we'll score 1 this game.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Man...really just missed there. Looks like we'll have to score to win, I guess

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Bad Freddy today. Too bad. Haven't seen Bad Freddy much this year.

OK, your standards and expectations are substantially lower than the Brewers front office and Yelich himself. They didn’t give him the contract he’s getting to be slightly above average against RHP in the prime years of his contract.

[pacopete4]

Weird stare down from Wisdom.

[KeithStone53151]

There's sure a lot of pessimism about our offense first time through the order against a bad pitching team. I really don't understand it. When is the last time we were shut out anyway?
