[yourout]

KRod 2.0

[brewers888]

Devin is not sharp at all but hopefully he gets out of it.

[BruisedCrew]

Williams is on fumes now.

Madrigal has been hot this series. 

[HarveysWBs]

Williams is throwing, but he ain’t pitching.

[folly412]

Devin isn't going to like the pitch clock..

[mtrebs]

Uggh 

[yourout]

Of course.

[HarveysWBs]

That figures.  Williams couldn’t find a feel for the change.

[brewers888]

We can't afford to lose this one.

[yourout]

Sad to say but the Cubs have far better hitters.

[BruisedCrew]

I can’t believe he’s letting Williams pitch to another batter. 

[mtrebs]

Ok, bring someone else in

[brewers888]

This is pitiful.

[yourout]

I think the Cubs will get to another WS before the Brewers.

[adambr2]

So much for cruising against the bad teams just because we showed so much fight against the Dodgers.

[BruisedCrew]

Can’t say I have confidence in Rogers here given his tendency to bounce balls at or into the feet of right handed hitters. 

[yourout]

Walk off wild pitch coming.

[AKCheesehead]

For crying out loud.  I hate chicago.

Bottom line is, they just aren’t good enough to cruise against anyone.  I’m not sure they’ve cruised since they played the Reds way back at the start of the year.

[willie key]

He walked three guys.    I’m so tired of this.    Our pitchers have been terrible holding leads.    Just terrible

I think so too because I honestly don’t believe the Brewers will ever win one, unless they get an owner that is willing to spend.  I really thought we’d have a chance within the last few years after the 2018 run, but they didn’t do enough to address the offensive holes. 

[BruisedCrew]

Now have to get at least two in the 10th.

Come on they went over budget to bring in McCutchen and if thats not a commitment to winning what is.

Whatever way you want to spin it this lineup needs more production and can't afford to have Hiura on the bench while multiple players with an OBP under .300 play.

15 of our 20 batters have an OBP over 300.

Need to put up 3-4 runs.
