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

Yeah I’ll be shocked if Williams is available tonight.

 

Box likely yes.

[PeaveyFury]

Can't sweep a double-header if you don't win the first one. So, well done.

I would have figured Tellez to lead off the 7th to and then swap in JBJ for Garcia defensively in the bottom for both the best chance at some offense and the best defense.

[LouisEly]

OK, time for Bad Freddy (or optimistically Inconsistent Freddy) to channel Good Freddy for the next couple innings.

Keep in mind, the heat index today is 105 here in Chicago and winds are blowing at 20mph. Can't be easy pitching on a day like today.

[TURBO]

Have I mentioned how much I absolutely love that Garcia is having a nice year ... simply because so many here and other places were 100% sure that he was a terrible signing and a terrible player.

 

Being contrarian can be fun once in a while.

 

 

Being contrarian all the time though, once in a while, you are bound to be right.

 

Luckily, when you are wrong, people don't always remind you.

I'm wrong. A lot. That's why I try to avoid speaking opinion as though it is fact when possible. I admit when I do.

 

But when wrong, it is best, I think, to own it.
