[HarryDoyle]

Guess we'll have to be happy with 2 out of 3.

[dlk9s]

Got this game and now an ant infestation in our playroom. Happy Wednesday.

[kevinisaname]

Koenig has not been very strong this year.

[TURBO]

Meh

2 out of 3 is acceptable.

That'll do it. Thanks for making it official, Koenig. 

[edfunderburk]

I wish it had worked for Woodruff to pitch in this series rather than Peralta. I trust his bulldog mentality. I don’t trust whatever Freddy is …

Get some Terro liquid ant bait. That stuff works unbelievably well. They'll be gone in two days.

Peralta and his 4 inning.   5 inning starts 

 

sucks.   Now we had to use 4 billion relievers to finish

[kevinisaname]

What an awful outing for Koenig.

[edfunderburk]

Ugly game today

Hope Chourio is okay

We need to play well against Washington & focus on the final 1/3 of the season

Time to rest our starters & let our bench players finish this game

[Team Canada]

Wheels fully off at this point.

Why again was Myers sent down?

OptiGard is my favorite for this.

Whoever was saying Hall doesn't look as trustworthy as his lines this year sure seems prescient now. 

I'll add Koenig to that list, too. No stats or anything to back it up, I'm just always nervous when he's out there.

All that fun the last two games and at the end of the day, the Cubs are going to leave town feeling like they got exactly what they needed to get out of this series.

Yeah, I don't think this is quite true.

This outcome is unsatisfying to everyone, but you'd still rather have the Brewers side of it.

To be fair, the Brewers got what they wanted/needed too

[wildcat83]

If he’s safe it should be a pinch runner.  No reason to be jogging down the line.

And it looked the stretched did something to his back. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

On the bright side, if the Cubs lose this, the whole fanbase will lose their minds.

All I know is I had an ant problem in the kitchen last month and after doing some research, went with the Terro. It worked miracles. It gets worse before it gets better but I guarantee it will work.

Well, obviously you’d rather have the Brewer side of it. But I guarantee just about every Cub fan is quite happy salvaging one out of three after that first two, and now they just need to win the 5 game series back at their place to clinch the tiebreaker.

Unless if he knew he'd get called out for not hustling.

It’s not a bad series. It just won’t move the needle in a significant way now at all like a sweep would have. 

[wildcat83]

Murphy not willing to hold his best players accountable?  Other guys have been publicly benched at times this year, but won’t sit Contreras the last 3 innings of a blowout when he loafs down the line and costs the team a baserunner????
