So the last time we overcame a 3 run deficit was... *checks notes*... yesterday.

I think we're all acting like Quinn and Nick should be able to pitch better. I don't see anyone questioning whether or not the Cubs are a good team.

Two things can be true.  The Baby Bears are decent but in no way were those good performances.

Who starts game 4 (if needed) for the Crew? Quintanna is coming in soon so it looks like game 4 will be another bullpen adventure.

Your notes are wrong. It was Monday. :)

Really surprised that anyone was expecting a sweep. I didn’t expect the Cubs to just lie down.

To be clear, I was expecting a sweep after we were up 2-0. I certainly wasn't expecting to lose today but of course realized it is possible.

Freddy starts game 4

[Brewluver]

We all know it's over.

We all know they would win 1 game.

Good news is that we don't have wait til midnight to check in on the outcome.

[adambr2]

I’m irritated that Vaughn has had a great playoff series, hurts the Cubs, and lo and behold we can’t help ourselves and just absolutely have to get Jake Bauers a start.

I definitely do not know any such thing.

Because bad games never happen? 
 

Yes.  That's exactly what I mean.  

No, because Priester has been that good so it was reasonable to expect him to be competitive.  I'm not here to argue or to be a target because I watched the first inning and felt differently than you did.  Please, enjoy my ignoring you.  I

[Samurai Bucky]

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm going to try and relax.  Stick to the plan.  Get the starter out of there early and go to hitting.

[RobertCrawley]

Taillon doesn't look that sharp.

Peralta on full/normal rest 

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Great AB so far for Lockridge.  Woodpecker mentality... let's get into that Cubs bullpen by wearing down Taillon

[kevinisaname]

Lockridge is being his pesky self. Swung at ball four, but still being a pest.

Please feel free to exit the bandwagon.  🙄

Damn that was a good AB. Too bad he swung at ball 4

[brooks_quichenick]

Good AB from Lockridge despite the result

[adambr2]

I am far from the biggest Brandon Lockridge fan, but there is no one better at long, irritating at-bats. Sure wish he had taken Ball 4, though.

Twice. A shame, but yeah, good AB.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The game may not be over but I'll be very, very surprised if we mount a comeback with the wet noodle all stars lineup.

Oh, you missed the massive all team Uno game yesterday... Murphy was down, but battled back for the victory!

My days are blurred....🤪

[82brewcrew82]

Down three runs and that is the bottom of our order......

[dlk9s]

Honest question, not a criticism: why is Lockridge starting?

[treego14]

Murphy throwing that slop lineup out there is criminal ... sorry, Murph ... this is bush league!
