Why is he pitching 

Because our ace is catching. At this point who cares? We got our asses kicked royally and Harrison already cost two good pen arms.

Time for Pancake to bench him for a while (probably never going to happen) or at least move him way down in the order. 

When you have a lineup of guys that should be moved down in the order do you really even have a lineup? #philosophy

[Baldkin]

When a position Brewer pitches a bounced strike should be two strikes like beer pong

I hit therefore I am

I am just getting home. I saw the score at 6-0 earlier and just seeing it now. Looks like I didn't want to be home for this. Not going to go back and read through any of this thread so apologize if this was mentioned...

My best attempt at a silver lining is this might be exactly what we needed? We were collectively (team and fans) feeling pretty good coming into this. They are a good team and at home ... a split was the most likely scenario anyway, but getting embarrassed might be the kick in the butt we need to refocus again. This can't fly.

They get their night. Let's end the division in the next couple of days.

Maybe a good butt kicking will wake us up 

[yourout]

I do have to chuckle at game day listing Vaughns pitches as Eephus.

[yourout]

Hopefully a couple of trips through the order against position players will screw up their timing for tomorrow

[just_some_guy]

I'm starting to think we might not win tonight

[Turning2]

Really hate position players lobbing to close a blow out. Don’t know what a better solution would be though. 

[bucks2281]

I would be shocked if Harrison isn’t still injured in some capacity. Shut him down for a few weeks.

Thanks for nothing again Frelick.

I was as big a fan as any of him but at this point you can't play him. Sorry but we have too many better options.

Maybe a tee?

How many times did the Cubs hit the ball out of the park?

 

[JackNicholson1974]

To a man, this team should be embarrassed. In so disappointed by this that I am actively looking forward to the Badgers/Notre Dame game in hopes it’s more competitive than the Brewers looked agains the Cubs. Harrison was so bad he is either hurt or should be out in the bullpen or the IL, yes he was that bad. 
 

the hitters it’s the same old same oldZ

[BruisedCrew]

We’re going to learn some things about this team in the next few days. 
 

 

[yourout]

This would be a really crappy time to go on a losing streak.

I’m more concerned that Harrison was just a flash in the pan.

Have to worry if Harrison was more Bryan Hudson or Eric Lauer - wonderful half a season.

But yeah, Miz and Henderson and pray for days off.... ???

Need to rest the bullpen down the stretch.  But not having enough starters and also not hitting enough will wear that down.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I'm surprisingly not that bothered. Sucks that Harrison sucks. The beer league softball pitching is whatever. 

Flush it and win tomorrow. 

[TURBO]

Harrison to the Il tomorrow wouldn't be a complete surprise.

[Paul7]

Pete Crow-Armstrong & Alex Bregman are the first MLB teammate duo to combine for: 25+ home runs 25+ walks 50+ RBI 50+ runs scored in a calendar month since Roger Maris & Mickey Mantle in July 1961. 

Cubs also set a National League record with 62 HRs in a single month.

[Outlander]

Harrison is giving me Shaun Marcum vibes. Don't know how they can trust him in the playoffs

[Bulldogboy]

Roster management has to be better. You activate Uribe who is a single inning pitcher and drop your long man. Makes zero sense so you have to burn bullets in a blow out. Anderson is chilling in tge pen meanwhile Patrick and Hall are wasting energy. It's a 4 game series. What if Gasser doesn't have it tomorrow? Call up Romero who hasn't pitched and goes 1 inning. You need a multiple inning long reliever. Get rid of 6 man rotation.
