Cubs got crushed today.

Good win……let’s win the series tomorrow

Held on to win. Some tack-on runs would’ve made for a less stressful end of game. But a win is a win. Good job by the pitching staff tonight to hold the lead.

ALL the commercials are annoying.  They play them all 8-9 times a game, seems like even more.

It's pretty bad.

 Nothing is as bad as the the nba players singing what a girl wants.   That might be the only time in my life that I’ve ever wished for the meteor to come get us

There's 2-3 easy enough spots to clear, but they're probably getting a little hesitant with spots needed if and when Mitchell, Williams, Junis, and Bukauskas return. 

Good point. I feel like all those names are not returning in the next 30 days. Could be interesting to see what Hicklen can do for a month. If we end up losing him on waivers after someone returns 🤷‍♂️
 

Hicklen has options once he is added, fwiw. I feel like we can afford to DFA a few players once people return from injury.

Derek Shelton just gushing over the Brewers defense……effusive in his praise

Happy for the win, great job by the pen and I guess it's good enough to only have one big inning when you string together THAT many good ABs in succession.

But I can't help being really, really disappointed in Chourios' AB w/the runner on 3rd & one out. It's bad enough to get caught chasing like in his prior trip, but he had at least one & probably two decent pitches to hit, contact was imperative, and he kinda reminded me of a pitchers' AB from back in the stone age. Just ugly. Keep workin', kid.

Too bad Ross went deep in the count so many times, otherwise felt like 6 innings, maybe a little more. Yelich probably cost him 9-10 pitches too w/the dropped fly.
