The stupid desperation to start Boyd backfired.

He took inspiration from Dusty Baker.

Sure, go ahead and walk Ortiz. That's a winning strategy.

[trwi7]

4 pitch walk, that would have been a guaranteed 3 pitch strikeout if Perkins would have walked.

I'd agree with you more if there weren't all the days off between games 1-2 and 3-4...feels like a game where the Cubs could just throw away if it gets completely out of hand and the pen isn't burned out because of it.

It's possible, but the Padres wore down the Cubs pretty effectively. Still, it would be better if the Brewers were playing again tomorrow, that would really put the pressure on.

To be fair, two of those balls were strikes.

Break this **** open Jackson

How many runs did San Diego score in three games against Chicago?

Yeah the first pitch is never going to get called because of the way it was caught, but that 2-0 pitch I’m not sure how it’s called a ball

JACKSON! KEEP POURING IT ON!

Pour.  It.  On.

If Turang can tank one here, the place will go absolutely nuts.

not as many as the Brewers have scored in 2/3 an inning this series

[duewizard]

JAAACKSOOON. 

Im having fun!

[MadScientist]

Chourio is halfway to the cycle in the first inning. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

if Freddy can mow through the 2nd...so huge - just turn this into a laugher

[liveforoctober]

Had you told me that Chourio was going to be our leadoff hitter to start the day I would have been really surprised and then had you told me that he would have a two RBI single in the first inning I would have had to restart my brain.

[kevinisaname]

I'd say that was a good start!

[BCF]

Brewers approach on Boyd was to attack early knowing he would likely attack the strike zone since he would have limited pitches 

As soon as Soroka came in they started taking pitches again 

[82brewcrew82]

OK, shut down inning here.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Okay, Freddy. That is what is called run support.

Need a shutdown inning after all that.

Too bad we can’t score in the postseason because we don’t hit home runs.
