I miss Ed Sedar.

Ed Sedar was doing the windmill from his couch.

If Alexander can get through one more inning against what will be the 8-9-1 part of the Cubs order, I will be absolutely ecstatic. 

I'd have a quick hook, but I think he can get through 6.

[brooks_quichenick]

One of the more insane sends from third I’ve ever seen. Sheesh

[Brewcrew82]

Hoerner is no Arcia with the relay throws. 

[Guest]

Holy crap! Ball beat him by 5 feet and he missed the tag... I hate the send but whatever, I'm laughing and cheering.

[HarryDoyle]

They got extremely lucky. What a terrible send by Lane.

[bulldogboy0733]

Safe but that doesn't mean it was a good send.

5??? Try doubling that.

Someone check to see if Cain is pulling a Pete Rose and has money on the Cubs. If not he should be cut .

[NBBrewFan]

Cain should be given the bunt signal when he comes up to bat with a runner on.

even with two outs.

[edfunderburk]

Cain is unwatchable

Both he & Yelich had one great game in an otherwise disappointing season

Yelich has certainly been better than Cain … but together they earn $44M this year … which I’d love to have for adding a bat or two

yes. the other team can always make an error.  I'm not sure if a runner needs to be on.

[bulldogboy0733]

We all knew that year 5 of the Cain contract would be rough but I never guessed it would be this bad. For the money it has to be one of the worst contracts in baseball this year.

[Brewcrew82]

If I were the Brewers, I'd look into trading for Kevin Kiermaier from the Rays. Would eliminate any concerns about jettisoning Cain and his "glove".

Each team has defensively spotted the other a gift run tonight 

[Robocaller]

I christen Lo Cain with a new nickname: Lobby, because he always leaves runners on base (LOB).

I approve this trade … get ‘er done tonight

[Robocaller]

Can we trade Cain for JBJ and get Binelas back?

[folly412]

Don't think they're bold enough to just DFA Cain, but I suspect the Phantom IL will be used when Renfroe returns. 

[bulldogboy0733]

Watching Yelich play the outfield is not fun.

And Jason Heyward steps up to leadoff the 5th with a wave out for one of the worst contracts for 2022.

[Robocaller]

It could be worse. Hayward is making $22M, and the same next year.
