Megilla is sweating like crazy in the unmoving air of the sauna known as American Family Field.

Fly the L, Scrubs! BREWERS WIN!

[Bulldogboy]

Crow Armstrong doesn't look like a mlb hitter.

Contreras hit one absolute rocket for an out to left center.   Don't recall his others off top my head

1.71 ERA, 17/18 saves.  Megill getting some All Star consideration?

[Gump]

Good win! FTC

[Bulldogboy]

Mccalvy and company need to ask Counsell is this a big enough challenge for you buddy?

You would hope.

[rickh150]

Great win…one big swing and a whole lot of solid pitching.  How many games has the bullpen not given up anything? Seems like it happens all the time!

[markedman5]

This bullpen…..even without Devin…….has been so good……..

[edfunderburk]

I have the MLB app so I’m watching the Cubs postgame - this is FUN

Can’t wait to hear Counsell’s comments

Brewers probably get 3 guys, whether Turang or Megill is 3rd one depends on how roster falls I think.

[Matt Breen]

Just sweet.

Either him or Hudson (0.84 ERA | NL best +2.65 WPA) should be there to represent the pen.

When does Chourio enter in the conversation for ROY?

Relievers tend to get a few extra late calls too when starters drop out.    I'd probably say Hudson should get in and then Megill on the short list when replacements are needed.  But I know non-closers get overlooked so its more likely the other way around

He’s got a ways to go…..but more importantly he’s figuring it out and getting better and better.

If his July is like his June

Gotta be Hudson…. If I’m Hudson, I’d say if I don’t get it this season, I never will because I’ll never have these types of numbers again. 
And Koenig has been just behind these guys…maybe. 1.66ERa 1 Whip 7 wins…so many times getting key outs mid game.

Yea his numbers are still not great, another month and he's probably the #2 hitter though?   Gonna be tough to catch the pitchers this year though.    And if not aware Jackson Merril on SD is just as hot if not hotter than Chourio, and he was much better to start the year so he's well ahead right now for hitters.

.Chourio’s July in 2023

388/.447/.718

 

[rickh150]

Vinny and Craig do a nice postgame….Vinny is just thrilled with the team like us all, and you hear it in his voice. Good role for him.

[Nola Beery]

Super chuffed/stoked/whatever for Chourio.
