[YelichPosse]

[LouisEly]

You can take Underwood out of the Cubs, but you can't take the Cubs out of Underwood

[treego14]

Wong-derful at bat!

Brewers lead 4-3 in the top of the 10th!

[Brewcrew82]

Can Devin please pitch the 10th...

[brewers888]

Got lucky after he swung at ball 4 two pitches earlier but we'll take it.

[adambr2]

Finally. Underwood did everything he could this inning to gift us a run and Wong tried his damndest to refuse it. 

[Brewcrew82]

Better than hitting it to Hayes I guess...

[CdrbrgMark]

Nice persistence by Wong..oh crap, it's Hiura, who does nothing...And Brewers take the lead on HBP, go team!!

[YelichPosse]

Renfroe hasn't homered yet today, I think hes due...

If they sit Bush it would be for Rogers I imagine.

[treego14]

Gamel is a nuisance!

[YelichPosse]

as a Brewer Gamel misses that and it rolls to the wall lol.

[Brewcrew82]

Ohhh geez. Of course. Of freaking course. 

[BruisedCrew]

Why didn’t the Brewers trade for Gamel? They could have picked up a few wins just by keeping him off the Pirates. 

[Brewcrew82]

I'm almost positive there's a psychological element that causes players to play better against their former teams, especially when they were traded/released/jettisoned...

[treego14]

Why Bush?

He was not good last night.

?

[treego14]

Rogers should be in there!  Good grief!

I don't think there's been a season I've watched where you don't have this, a stretch where you're not good when you need to be, and when you are you can't catch a break to save your life. I'm looking forward to seeing how we respond to the last several days.

[BruisedCrew]

I guess Rogers is below Bush on the pecking order. Might have wanted him pitching to Reynolds and Gamel.

Of course!

[adambr2]

Easiest division in baseball, no good teams, and the Brewers are incredibly finding a way to blow it. What a terrible trade deadline.

[CdrbrgMark]

Leave bases loaded........sigh. And Pitt immediately ties the game....sigh again

[markedman5]

Bad baseball and bad luck,is a bad combination
