Worst possible start.  1st inning and I already fear a disaster series incoming.   They’re a motivated pissed off Cubs team.  Also their offense is so much better than the Brewers.  

Maybe un ironically, Murphy was just talking about staying in the moment. Perhaps the Cubs want it more than the Brewers do.

This is not much fun

Remember when Yelich was moved down in the order for like 3 games?  I get there aren't many better options but still funny.

He missed a month with an elbow injury

Pitchers come back from those a lot better than what Harrison has shown. If his elbow is that bad, then he should be back on the IL.

[Bulldogboy]

The ability to score runs with a couple swings makes Cubs a problem. 

[titletownking]

Brewers will be just fine after today. Harrison just isn’t what people thought he was, especially on the road. Bats will wake up and better pitching will show up. 

[Bulldogboy]

Way to much Frelick instead of Lara if you ask me.

Maybe you’re right. But for a gift scoring change Harrison has allowed 13 runs in 20 innings since coming off the IL

I’ll fully admit Im about to be super irrational tonight.   I hate playing the Cubs with a passion.  I hate their stadium, their fans, their stupid song they sing when they win, and I hate that they consistently hit the long ball and most of all I hate how I feel they’re going to ***** slap us this series.

Every important team we will face can do that.

[titletownking]

Frelick’s AB’s are so hot and cold. Battles but chases some pitches

[titletownking]

Should have been two on! What are we doing! 

[yfinn6]

Jesus that pitch to Frelick looked like solidly out of the zone. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

That was ball 4 - thanks Bauers

[Bulldogboy]

That wasn't a strike. Should be two on base. Insane 

[jason21nl]

And down 4-0 and you get thrown out stealing.    They have to do everything they can to manufacture a run because their 5-8 180lb guys can’t hit the ball out of the park.  

[titletownking]

I’m done with today. That was as clear as a ball gets. Two on with one out and instead inning over. 

[trwi7]

That would have been worth a challenge if we weren't already down a challenge.

[adambr2]

Hey, thanks Bauers for a terrible challenge and Frelick for a terrible non challenge.

The first strike not challenged that would have resulted in two outs back if challenged that I’ve seen. 

[82brewcrew82]

Impressive start...

And that inability gives us a playoffs problem every year.

[BruisedCrew]

I think there might be some disagreement about whether May was the best pitcher available at the deadline after Skubal. 

[Bulldogboy]

How are they so bad at the challenges?

Then he got hot for like 3 games and Murphy is ready to party like it’s 2018 again.
