A lot of first pitch grounders for Mitchell. 

Perkins needs to play too

[treego14]

More Eric Haase, please!

[BruisedCrew]

Brewers still looking for their first run against a Cubs starter in Wrigley Field this season. 

[yfinn6]

Come on Willy. 

[treego14]

More Andrew Monasterio, please.

[Lostpawn]

Boy does Willy chase breaking balls. 

[nate82]

Frelick pitch goes down the middle of the plate and weakly pops it up.  Frelick should be way further down in the lineup.

[treego14]

Cubs starters continue to look like Cy Young against the Brewers (save for one very bad inning by Kyle Hendricks).

[yourout]

Games are tough to watch when your team can't hit a lick.

[BruisedCrew]

25.2 innings for Cubs starters against the Brewers this season in Wrigley Field  

Brewers have 0 runs on 10 hits.

Both starters showing pretty good movement.

[82brewcrew82]

quit screwing around and score some dang runs already.

[treego14]

All I know is that Perkins, Haase, and Monasterio need to play instead of some of these struggling guys right now!

[yourout]

Ortiz 4 for 24 and 9 for 46

Beats the 6-53 for Turang.

[yourout]

Taillon might go 8.

True.

Over half the lineup is in a 2-week long funk at the plate right now and there's a lot of guys who are just flat out cratering

[treego14]

Can we trade for Keston Hiura?

Agreed. I was afraid to look up Contreras. That's gotta be in the same ballpark as Ortiz.

[Bulldogboy]

Team needs a big bat to help take pressure off. It is completely unacceptable to not come out of deadline without a bat. You have 6 outfielders and only 2 can really hit. Two 1b and neither can hit. That's a problem.

Because I was curious I just went and looked and he's hitting 0.148 and I got to believe this is his swan song and will likely be out of baseball next year

[yourout]

Be lucky to get six innings out of Rea.

[yourout]

Say what you want but plate umpires can have a huge effect on game outcomes.
