Always enjoyable when one of our slap hitters burns challenges on obvious strikes. 

Even if it wasn't obvious, it wasn't a high leverage situation and you knew you only had one left, so just save it.

[BruisedCrew]

The Crow is waiting to put this one away. 

[HarryDoyle]

Both challenges were foolish.

Who is that guy that is going to tell us again that bad challenges don’t cost games?

More like where is that guy?

[yourout]

That should do it. 

Sooner or later it was going to happen to Trevor. 

Really good at bat

[rccola42]

You knew we'd lose when Chourio avoided home plate on his slide.

[BCF]

Good AB’s by the cubs this inning 

[Jopal78]

Pitching staff sputtering to the finish line 

[adambr2]

Game. Total team loss. Terrible. Megill has been bad this series.  

[Recovering Chicagoan]

Welp. 

[HarryDoyle]

Way too many mistakes made to win this one. Just gotta hope the Cubs bullpen flounders again.

[baseball101]

Just a really good at bat. It happens. 

[AKCheesehead]

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. When I become the Brewers’ manager, I will never ever bring my closer in to pitch in a tie game. 

[yourout]

I don't think Trevor matches up good with these guys.

[BruisedCrew]

Good thing the Brewers won yesterday. The team is looking pretty gassed. 

[Nola Beery]

Oooops.☹️

[Bulldogboy]

For Murphy to Crack down on Pratt like he did but let these bad challenges go with no fall out is just strange to me. 

[Pugger]

Our offense has been anemic too often lately.  If w we continue to struggle to score runs it won't matter if we have home field advantage this postseason or not.

[trwi7]

Intentional walk and trying Sproat to get a DP on Suzuki seems like a better option than what we're going to try.   Not that any option we have here is good.

[adambr2]

The 1 seed is slipping away. With the Dodgers remaining schedule, I don’t see us hanging on, 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I don't say this to discredit Megill this season or what he's done in Milwaukee.  But I just don't trust the guy to close a 2-1 playoff game. I've never felt safe with him out there in the most intense situations. Uribes isn't perfect either, but he just feels more made for those moments.

Not tomorrow because it's an important game but one of these days I would like Murphy to just put his foot down and say no one is allowed to challenge today, no matter how bad the umpire is, no matter how right you are, we're just not using them today until you guys can figure out what the **** a worthy challenge is and what you need to just let it go.

Like maybe one of our games against the Orioles or something and start all of our biggest challenge culprits in that game.  Sanchez, Lara, Contreras.

Yup.  McGill isn't  a robot.

Cut him some slack. With three weeks yet to go he’s appeared in as many games already and pitched more innings than he did in the regular and postseason in 2026 combined. 
 

The 16 games in a row is what might keep the Brewers from the #1 spot in the NL

Uibe has a lot more movement. And when he's right he's harder to hit but can be more erratic.
