Cubs (Smyly) vs Brewers (Teheran): 7/3/23, 1:10pm

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The fourth inning was frustrating. So is letting Fulmer lock down 2 1/3.

This is one of those games where there's a big difference between losing by 5 or 6 and losing by 2 or 3. Cubs have had to cover a lot of BP innings lately, and you have to make them earn it, especially when you figure it's going to be tough to put up a big number the next few days against 3 really, really good SP.

The Cubs do, in fact, have a mediocre bullpen...

I was just hearing that they have been very good for the last month or so. 

Regardless, if the bullpen is mediocre, as opposed to horrifically bad, it shouldn’t be surprising that a manager wouldn't hesitate to go to it to face the Brewers lineup. They haven’t had anything remotely resembling a hit since the pitching change.

Hendricks isn't "really, really good anymore".

Brewer offense says hi.

I really wish Adames would go to the plate more often thinking that a single would be OK. 
 

So often he puts himself in a hole trying to hit one 600 feet.

3 more walks and it’s a game.

WELCOME TO THE BREWERS YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD

[markedman5]

Jonesssss!

[duewizard]

JONES! YES!

[BruisedCrew]

Counsell looks good with that maneuver. 
 

I saw that ball and was thinking “don’t bounce over the wall”. 

[dlk9s]

You can all thank me. I tuned in for the first time today during the commercial break before Jones hit.

Not really. Schoop had a key grand slam late that season against the Giants.

That granny was something.

Not completely true. 
 

I was at the game when Schoop had the big moment of his Brewers career, hitting a grand slam HR of Bumgarner just after he had drilled Braun with a pitch. 

[RobertCrawley]

Pressed all the right buttons today.

[SomewhereInTime]

Now that's a Brewer debut for the ages!  On the first pitch too!
