Game Thread (7/04/2022): Cubs (Steele) at Brewers (Lauer) - 3:10 PM CDT

Count in his favor.  Can't wait to see how Yelich gets weak contact.

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Awesome, bases loaded walk. 

[jason21nl]

Yeah buddy!

[Brewcrew82]

ROBOTS

[BruisedCrew]

One more walk will do it. 

[Brewcrew82]

Thanks blue. You suck. 

[jason21nl]

Screw you ump.  Freaking terrible.    

[Sixtolezcano]

Robots x2

[adambr2]

Oh my God.  Way to reward a pitcher for not being able to find the zone. I hate MLB umpires with every bit of my being. 

[brooks_quichenick]

Completely insane to give those first two “strike” calls to Robertson after how badly he was missing to Yelich. 
 

Robots now

[wOOgiE22]

How do you give him two boarder line pitches when he just threw 4 straight balls?  Freaken pathetic ump!

[JRob1125]

Robots.....robots. Tomorrow.

[jason21nl]

Just unacceptable to miss balls and strikes like that.  The guy can’t find the zone and you reward him?

Not only the 4 straight but he just hit Wong too

[Nola Beery]

I love the energy of Adames. But I'd love it more if he delivered in when it matters most. Give me a single in the bottom of the ninth in a tie game instead of a Slam when we have  a 10-run lead. 

[Brewcrew82]

AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY A STRIKE 

[young guns]

Indescribable rage!

[Caswell]

Would love to see the ump scorecard for this game

[trwi7]

Umpire Auditor tomorrow.  +5.98 runs for CHC.

[jason21nl]

I’d have been ejected 

[Nola Beery]

Yes. Robot Strike Zone ASAP

[titletownking]

This umpire is terrible. One of the most inconsistent zones I’ve ever seen.

I’m sorry, but it seems like an odd time to get on Willy’s case when he very clearly (correctly) took two balls and somehow ended up buried in an 0-2 hole.

[jason21nl]

If you’re willing to concede a run.  Why not throw down?

I'd love it if Counsell went on an epic rant after this game. Like Tommy LaSorda level.
