Brewers (Myers) vs Cubs (Taillon): 5/4/24, 1:20 PM

[Frisbee Slider]

Two runs won’t win this game?

[brooks_quichenick]

Nice job getting out of that and limiting the damage

[treego14]

Okay, Tobias comes back strong with 2 strikeouts to end the inning ... down only 2 with 8 innings to go ... I feel good!  Maybe I will eat some food.

[edfunderburk]

I wanted to relax & enjoy an afternoon of Brewers baseball. 

This is NOT what I had in mind.

I have come to expect gritty & low-scoring outings from all of these "no name" pitchers that Milwaukee employs - probably a bit unrealistic. 

Do we simply let Tobias take one for the team & suffer another Yankee-level beatdown OR is there someone who can step in & give us five innings of relief to keep this one competitive?

 

[Frisbee Slider]

Only one ball out of the infield

While I was typing my previous note - Tobias struck out two to limit the damage ... well done, young man!

We need starting pitching.    If the brewers are still alive by September can woodruff come back or is he just done

That's what Fred Sanford used to say!

[treego14]

Put the ball in play and watch the Cubs' fielders say, "Ole!"

He’s done.

Dunn can't lay off of and can't hit the high fastball that's in the zone.

So is Olli Dunn!

[markedman5]

So much for Taillon not striking guys out……..

[yfinn6]

Like I said in the thread yesterday, Weimer's knee buckled. I would be shocked if it's not an extended IL stay. 

[LaprilOne]

I guess patellar.

[Sugarrayray]

Does anyone have any idea why Frelick refuses to attempt stolen bases this year? This catcher literally is unable to throw guys out. He only gets on first due to weak power and walks, why is he refusing to use his speed on a team that encourages it.

[HarryDoyle]

Arnold needs to make a move for a starter sooner than later. Maybe two.

[markedman5]

Myers can’t keep giving up homers…….especially on 0-2

pitching depth really being tested……so far it’s held up pretty well 

[treego14]

Tobias' nickname is "Gopher?"

Trade him to Minnesota!

Winning in the major leagues with minor league pitchers is hard.

Isn't stealing a call from the coaches, in most cases.  Are they not sending him?

Some hitting would be nice too.

That would be solved by actually playing the players who can hit
