Ok my bad on requesting Suter. He stinks

But at least he does it quickly.

Worst defensive performance of the year by a mile.

[folly412]

I'd forgotten how bad it can be when Keston Hiura has to throw.

Yep. If Kolten cannot go tomorrow, they need to put him on the IL and bring up Turang. Hiura at 2B will not cut it.

Yep and they need to shuttle up some arms to boot.

[Opening Day]

I held my breath on that throw

[bulldogboy0733]

I am tired of watching Cain AB man. 

[phnxcrew]

Can CC finally admit once renfroe is back that Taylor is our CF? bring in Cain late in the game and sub Taylor for yelich.  Cain is really, really done

[yourout]

2 for 31 now for McCutchen.

Approaching CC territory.

This game has been less fun for me as a fan than the high scoring affair from yesterday. Sloppy baseball from the Crew. Cutch is 0 for his last 26 with 0 walks. That’s a pretty crazy slump. Or he’s just this bad…unrelated topic, Caratini acquisition could go down as our best under the radar move.

In the end often when you think you have outsmarted everyone it turns out there was a reason a guy was unemployed. Cain Yelich and Cutch making a combined 50 million dollars is insane.

[yourout]

Well at least Hader and Williams get a night off.

[folly412]

Rough with MLB Debut Parade our probable pitchers for tomorrow.  Need to get healthy.

 

[BruisedCrew]

This bullpen is fried. 

Whoever gets the emergency start tomorrow is going to get the Alec Bettinger “take one for the team” treatment”. 

[BruisedCrew]

And with that the Cubs equal their win total against the Brewers for all of last season. 

[Eye Black]

That one stings, slightly better defense probably results in a W tonight. 

[bulldogboy0733]

Bad loss. Can't leave Kelley out there to get blown up but they are in a tough spot. Too bad because tomorrow is an L.

[Brewcrew82]

In the end, it's just one game. We are a very injured team right now and have been playing well against some pretty good teams despite that. Onto the next one. 

[titletownking]

Trevor Kelley has overstayed his welcome. 2 out of his 5 appearances have been really really bad. 

[yourout]

A fairly well deserved loss.

Why do you assume tomorrow is an L? Hendricks has been horrible this year, and we shelled him the last time we faced him. Hader and Williams will also be rested and ready to go after not pitching tonight. 

[bulldogboy0733]

I am shocked that this team is so thin in the minors that Kelley is a legit option. Draft college pitchers who maybe can come up in September and help.

How you going to get to them?? I could be wrong. History with Hendricks aside I just don't see keeping them at bay with what we have.

He’s not good. Their is a reason he hasn’t pitched more than 9 big league innings in a single season. Teams find out quickly and move on. I suspect the brewers will do the same. Go Crew!

Alexander has been good in the minors. Sanchez, who has been excellent so far, is also available. Brewers have a real shot to win tomorrow. If we were playing the Dodgers, I might agree with you, but these are the Cubs. And Hendricks has been absolutely brutal lately.
