TT for cleanup hitter.

Taylor is an every day player. Period.

Think Box should come out for the 8th and have Hader finish it off, but CC doesn't operate that way.

I don't think Hader would pitch in both games of a double header regardless of who was managing.

Will be interesting to see how the brewers handle innings 8 and 9. I do not think Williams will be available, possible Hader for the 9th. Maybe Boxberger back for the 8th and Hader?

Box of STONES!

Taylor being better than Yelich is a problem but it definitely helps.

I was referring more to Box. Hader didn't labor much in game 1. He can handle it. Now that we got an insurance run Box coming out to pitch the eighth seems more likely.

Talk about taking an opportunity and running with it … TT is showing out. Love it.

[markedman5]

Box’s expression never changes…..lol

Let Box try to take it home? Milner and Suter are the non-used (normal) bullpen pitchers today...

If Hader is warming he’s pitching…….

[Brock Beauchamp]

Bringing Hader in two times in the same day. Bold.

[MoreTrife]

Seems like an old school thing...

[bulldogboy0733]

Peterson made a nice flip on the dp. Played outfield in game one. The guy is versatile and a good bench piece.

Thank you - that was easy

Well, you don’t have to be sarcastic about it.

[Underachiever]

Let’s have Hader end this in about ten pitches.

[Guest]

Surprised to see Hader twice in one day. Guess he's just a beast.

[HarryDoyle]

Wisdom is the second biggest jerk the Cubs have right behind Contreras.

[HarryDoyle]

No problem. 

[folly412]

Awesome call.  Another week until a day off.  Pen and rotation depleted with two guys awaiting MLB debuts.  We're due for a 14-3 drubbing.  Might as well let it come on a Bullpen Day and not a game we're up 3-1 in the 9th.

Have tried several things, and nothing works for me............oh well

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hader was nails, hell of a game from Ashby.

[HarryDoyle]

Bullpen saved for at least one day.

[Joseph Zarr]

This just in: Milwaukee Brewers organization can kind of identify, teach, and develop pitching. 

I LOVE IT, baby. Let's Go!

[Matt Breen]

Nice day.
