Cubs (Rea) vs Brewers (Misiorowski): 6/26/26, 6:45pm

On any given night I’ll say “what are you doing you idiot” and “awesome job Wild Bill” to Contreras within the same hour.

The only way I can stand these Apple Games is to select the Brewers radio broadcast.

The Apple announcers treat the game like a sidehow to their conversations. 

[HarryDoyle]

Frelick is currently hitting better than Yelich, Turang and Bauers.

[Bulldogboy]

Frelick actually looks decent of late. Time on the bench may wake him up.

[RWeeksFan23]

it's crazy to me that despite Frelick having such a good chase rate, he just does NOT lay off high fastballs. Even though he still got a base hit off of one just now.

We need more than the .214 Turang has hit the last 30 games.

I think there is some regression the the mean with him.  He isn't as bad as he was earlier in the year.

It would be hard to argue with playing Frelick in RF with Vaughn’ at DH.

I love Yelich for what he has done for the franchise and community but he isn’t helping the team now.

Maybe he could use an IL stint for a bad back to see if that can recharge him. 

[Bulldogboy]

Insane walk by Ashby. Incredible 

[liveforoctober]

I am just seeing the home runs from GM and WC on Twitter right now and holy smokes both of those were NUKED. I can't remember the last time a ball went up where Contreras just hit it.

[yourout]

Ashbys walk rate lately is a bit concerning.

[Bulldogboy]

Pull him

[yourout]

Get someone up.

[yfinn6]

That missing challenge looming large as that 1-1 to PCA was a strike

 

[HarryDoyle]

Ashby trying to vulture a win again, walking the leadoff batter with a four run lead.

[RWeeksFan23]

jesus, Ashby.

He’s been garbage too

[adambr2]

Throw strikes with a late 4 run lead. Is it really so much to ask?

[liveforoctober]

ESPN Gamecast showed Busch's flyout basically in the bullpen... how close was it?

[RWeeksFan23]

nice bounce back. 

[adambr2]

Could’ve been much worse.

warning track, just short of the wall.

Not warning track

[Frisbee Slider]

Kansas City pitcher Mitch Spence allowed 10 ER in third inning against White Sox. I notice Lucas Erceg lost the closer role, too.

[BruisedCrew]

Happy to get through that with just 1 run.

Playing with fire with walks and the heart of the Cubs order coming up. 

Up to Megill to bring this home.
