Both teams played in the same conditions. They’ve out hit us each game and obviously scored more runs. Wrong. Brewers handed them the game on Friday on Sogard's error. Both sacrifice flies that drove in runs in that game are long, long gone on virtually any other day. Aguilar smoked a ball to left that would have easily traveled well over 400 feet in MP. Yelich's drive with the bases loaded ends up in the loge level at MP. That being said, when playing in those conditions, the mindset of hitters has to change and defense becomes all important. Brewers handed the Cubs another freebie run today, then failed to get Cain in from third with nobody out and two of their best hitters up. Yelich swung at a ball a foot off the plate for strike three. If the score is 0-0. or 1-1, Counsell probably uses someone other than Drake in the 7th. Even there, one run scored because Arcia fell asleep. Two of the three hits off Guerra were popups. He matched Quintana pitch for pitch. You say wrong but the hit column and run total says otherwise. The rest of what you list is all excuses for losses. They’ve been outplayed. Offensively, defensively, and pitching. Oh and Aguilar should not be the everyday 1B because after a week of full time at bats, his slash line would take an immediate hurting. He’s a good bench bat that can fill in here and there. Let’s not go crazy.
