Yelich didn't hit a homer?

And the Brewers haven’t won many games without hitting homers? Not sure why you couldn’t draw a couple walks and have that big double to score runs 

[Fear The Chorizo]

That's a ball...ish way to start that AB

[kevinisaname]

Awful call.

[BCF]

Not even close 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Just terrible, ump

[owbc]

Give me that review system NOW

[adambr2]

Is it just me or does Yelich get higher than the average player’s share of garbage called strikes?

[kevinisaname]

Why does it feel like that strike 3 cost us a chance at this game? Well, that strike 1 and 3 to Yeli.

[BCF]

104 MPH EV ground ball DP

Tough luck 

[adambr2]

Some big rough moments for Vaughn today. Can’t be too mad at that one.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Low-key highlight of the game for me:

The fans at Wrigley have no idea what's going on. Cheering for foul balls like four times today. And then gasping on Sal's near-miss. Hilarious.

Hit that ball hard - baseball happens.  The bad flip defensively is the difference in the game now, though

[adambr2]

This will be a frustrating one to lose if we lose it. Not because we couldn’t afford to, but because it’s been very winnable.

[kevinisaname]

Whoa, Perk with the great catch!

[adambr2]

Tobias should go the 7th and 8th here, unless we take the lead in the top of the 8th.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Brewers using their bottom 3 arms on the roster so far, Cubs going to likely empty their kep arms to try and hold onto a win....sets up well for game tonight. No matter the outcome in this game

Inclined to agree, but you do want to make the Cubs use their good relievers for the last six outs. 

Pomeranz looks like he'll get the eighth? CC must love that dude. I would imagine Thielbar gets Turang, though.

[HarryDoyle]

How about a six run inning?

[BCF]

Cubs closer is nasty. Gotta score here

And tomorrow. I'd like to see us really take of Taillon. Just coming off a bunch of rehab starts. I guess he built up to around 80 pitches, so he'll have some length, but just forcing a lot of reliever usage should help a lot the next couple days.

[adambr2]

Couple really rough ABs for Collins today.

I'd take it.

Wonder if there's just a little bit of getting back to game speed needed for Collins after his several days away.

[kevinisaname]

Well, that inning didn't fill me with hope.
