Umps basically saying pipe it.

[HarryDoyle]

Perhaps stop letting the lead off man on?

[BruisedCrew]

Great, a leadoff walk to set up the heart of their order. 
 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

About time we get one of those. 

[Bulldogboy]

No way Koenig should face Susuki

DP was what we needed 4 sure.

I don't think I've ever seen Turang that far over. I thought that was a base hit.

[yfinn6]

I'll take that!

Nice work. 

[nate82]

LOL how was pitch 3 a ball?  This has to be the worst umpiring crew so many bad ball and strike calls that were obvious balls or strikes in this series.

 

[adambr2]

I guess he likes the inside corner more than the outside.

Suzuki was only Koenig's third batter.

Strike 3 to Suzuki was a ball.

Man, what is going on with the offense. I can understand coming down from the major high they were on, but it completely swung the other direction and disappeared this series. This is getting frustrating to watch again. 

Welcome! I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just in the past three innings, the Brewers have had four balls with an expected batting average of over .500.

Zero went for hits. That's baseball.

[HarryDoyle]

Okay, Uribe and Megill shut down batters 4-9 and let's get outta here up 7.

Yeah this crew has just been all around bad.  Not sure if it has benefited either team.

[BCF]

Cubs fans are after Kyle Tucker so much right now...

[HarryDoyle]

Is this Adam Beck behind the plate again for the Cubs?

[adambr2]

Really don’t know why we went to Perkins there even for the L/R. He’s just totally lost right now.

You are right.

Good lord mona

[Brian]

Here we go but mona falls down?

[Team Canada]

We absolutely have to score one of these runners.
