Cubs fans showing their jealousy and insecurity again with their little brother energy "Green Bay sucks" chant.

As much as I’d like him to prove otherwise, until he can, Sproat is a 4 inning guy.

[HarryDoyle]

Get Ashby up.

Has there been another hitter who didn't really figure it out until he was 29/30?  I can name a few who figured it out at 27, but I'm struggling to think of anyone who became a very good hitter after that.

Turner in LA?

[yourout]

pull him.

They even did it when they weren't playing a team from Wisconsin (along with the White Sox fans).  Also, it's funny to me that they have to trash talk a football city during a baseball game because the Brewers own the Cubs.

No need to mess around with the bullpen this fresh.

[Bulldogboy]

Get him out.

[jason21nl]

My God I hate the Cubs and their fans

[SeaBass]

Giving it back, stop leaking runs.

[Nola Beery]

Ummmm. Somebody do something....

I understand they really want to try to push Sproat over the hump. But today isn’t the day.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Corners are now middle middle amd misses are way out of the zone - command is gone.

 

[Bulldogboy]

Does Sproat throw anything off speed?

Cost himself a win but it's the right call

[markedman5]

Don’t know how it will work but I like this move by Murph…….

It would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic. The little brother finally gets the better of the big brother playing Horse on the driveway and four months later he still can't shut up about it.

Don't you get a W after 5? 

 

Edit - I'm an idiot.

I wonder what the mood at northsidebaseball is like?

I never post there but I enjoy reading in games like this one 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Im probably too optimistic....but i see Sproat leaning more on that sinker as the summer shows up and the season wears on and turn into a 6+ inning pitcher every turn - like Priester last year.

 

Stuff is more than there - kid just needs to keep building

Yeah, I feel bad for Sproat not being able to get just one more out, but going to Drohan for Happ is obviously the correct call.

Really, the walk to Hoerner was the mistake that inning. I didn't think the Swanson homer was too bad of a pitch. Want it in a little more, maybe, but credit to Dansby for just pulling the hands in. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

That a way to keep a really crooked lead headed to the 6th...keep scoring, please

And he did not get through 5.
