It's gonna be Miz-eray for Gray!

Sunny will turn Gray as we swing away!

Ja-cob IS no late day-flub!

Cards' toes will stub!

Brewers got to Gray for 6 ER last time in Milwaukee. Gray had quality start against Milwaukee in April at Saint Louis.

Horrible thunderstorm in Chicago right now.   Wonder if cubs get rained out today

Adames is at 2.9 bWAR. He earned the first year of his contract 🤷‍♂️🙂

Not unless they need to rest there pitchers.

Would love for SD to swap places with Chicago.

[TURBO]

What is the plan for the MIZ today?

4 innings, hope he gets to 5?

With the high pitch count his last start, I can't imagine they will let him get past 75-80 pitches today...

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

This is always the strangest time to be a fan of a good team. The Brewers are very, very good. They absolutely should win the division and earn a bye.

It's still a ways until they actually clinch those things, though, so it feels like it's all downside risk.

The Phils are smoking hot. They might catch us. I care not at all about that. We've gone up 7.5 on the Dodgers (really 8 with the tiebreaker). The Cubs have won 3 in a row at a time when the Brewers lost 3 of 4. Still, they're like 4-3 in their last 7, so not lighting the world on fire. I'm hoping the Rays and Pirates can each grab at least one from them in the next 5. Good day to start today with Rasmussen on the Hill for Tampa. After the Pirates series, the Cubs have to play 7 against the Mets and Reds, both of whom will be desperate. And Chicago has no off days in that stretch. If they cut this division lead in half, they'll have earned it.

Anything past 4 is would be an unexpected bonus. It should mean he is being efficient.

I fear Misiorowski will throw 80 pitches in four innings & hand the ball over to Fedde … & who knows what he will do

Is Trevor Megill Tentatively still Sept. 16th?

Sounded like he had a set back and is currently not throwing.  If he comes back, great.  Not counting on it though.

That said, if we clinch the division with say, 5 games left, but are tied with the Phillies at that time, is it possible we could refrain from the annual huge bender that day where everyone is too hungover to play the next day until AFTER the season when we have like a week break?

We rested that dude more than. Any of the relievers and now he’s gone.     Does that really work

Megill had a flexor tendon strain, that actually can end a career if it pops.  Does Damian Lillard and Aaron Rodgers ring a bell?  Even though theirs were a different tendon in the leg but if your a pitcher and it pops his career is over but minor strains/tears might heal in several weeks to a month. Brewers only goal is to get him healed and ready for the playoffs. Unless if it is worse than what management is telling us.

Cubs are rolling again. 3-0 over Rasmussen and the Rays after 4.

Tied at 3 !!

Rays have left some runs on the table. 

Failed with man on second with none out, then in the next inning with first and third with one out. 

[Frisbee Slider]

I haven’t been paying attention to the Mets. Seems like bad time for seven game losing streak. When does David Stearns start receiving criticism?

[BrewerFan]

Based on that... I think I'd be pulling pretty hard for the Mets, good with the Cubs. 

The playoffs are weird though. I'll just pull for the Brewers to hit the ball hard and be healthy and... I think they can beat every team. I'm even seeing Logan Henderson is throwing some BP? Man he'd look nice in that Grant Anderson role... which Grant Anderson has been very good in, but more depth is better
